Lakers are lucky to walk away with game 2, Lee could/should have made that last lob in regulation.

anyone know why it says orphan on the espn post game show screen?

Well looks like the Lakers will take it.............

I just don't see Orlando coming back in this. I hope they do, but I don't think so.

Might have been a series if Lee made that basket in game 2, or if Howard could make some free throws. Would have been Orlando in game 4, have they made a few more free throws......

Also Nelson giving Fisher plenty of space for a 3........WTF was he thinking!

I'm glad Orlando lost

But I'm not thrilled Kobe won one with "his own team."

I'm glad Phil Jackson got his 10th too. He knows how to coach superstars

Kobe won with his own team?

He wouldn't have done shit if he didn't have Gasol and all the experience around him.

That's why I don't see LeBron winning a ring anytime soon.

Parade on Wednesday!!!!!!

LOL Cleveland thinking about trading for Shaq. These talking heads at ESPN think Shaq can defend the likes of Howard in the post. A better move, which I heard rumored, would be to sign Rasheed. Rasheed is a better post defender than Shaq, and can knock down the outside jumper which would be valuable with Lebron's ability to get in the paint. We all know Cleveland isn't going to run their offense through Shaq and Rasheed is comfortable standing at the perimeter and being a role player.

The lakers asked the city of LA to pay for half of their own parade... lol

"His own team" just means without Shaq because it wasn't Kobe's team when Shaq was there. I also don't think Gasol gets enough credit in comparison to Kobe.

Instead of Shaq, maybe the Cavs go after Odom or Ariza?

I think they are looking for size and interior defense and I don't see Odom fitting that bill. Boozer is also a free agent but he said he will either sign with Detroit or New Jersey, and I doubt he will be welcomed in Cleveland //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
