The Magic will win the next 3 in a row??? You really can't even be serious...I mean I can understand you praying every night that it happens, but, to say with a straight face that they WILL win the next 3? Dude, you are completely nuts. I have some questions for you:

1) How many times has Phil Jackson lost 3 in a row in a playoff series?

2) How many times has Phil Jackson lost 3 in a row in a playoff series after leading the series 2-0?

3) How many times has Kobe Bryant lost 3 in a row in a playoff series?

4) How many times has Kobe Bryant lost 3 in a row in a playoff series after the Lakers led 2-0?

5) How many times in the history of the NBA Finals has a team down 2-0 come back to win 3 in a row (aside from the refs and D-Wade over the Mavs a few years back)?

 

C'mon Osirus, at least make a little effort to be objective and not be such a homer... Personally, I could definitely see Orlando winning 2 of the next 3, but, that's perfect for the Lakers because then they come back to L.A. only needing to win 1 of 2 at home for the NBA Championship. I think Orlando winning 2 of 3 is easily the most likely scenario of any over these next 3 games...I give Orlando winning all 3 games ZERO chance, I give the Lakers winning 2 of 3 and closing it out in 5 games a slight chance, and I give the Lakers closing it with a sweep very, very little chance as well. Orlando will win 2 of the next 3, definitely the most likely scenario by far.

Now pull your head out of your ass and at least make an attempt at being objective. I look forward to your answers to the 5 questions I've asked above...



And a sweep in games 3,4,5 by the home team has only happend 3 times out of 28 tries....This is definitely "homerism" at it's finest.

Your name is L8kersFan74. I think your also a homer so we cancel each other out. Again im not saying orlando will win the series but i feel good about the home games. This lakers team is good, but they are no 95 bulls or some legendary team. They are beatable. And do i give a fuck what kobes record is after certain games? No. By the way i hate when people always refer to an individual. Its a team sport

Do you know how many teams have done it in history?
 
Sorry but this has little to no chance of happening. Feel free to bump this thread if it does occur and quote me on it.

   

Your right Rod, the chances of any nba team winning 3 in a row would be like hitting the lottery.

First let me just say the NBA is half retarded for playing a 2-3-2 in the finals. Anyways back on topic, practically impossible to win 3 in a row in the finals, let alone against the lakers. So my prediction lakers in 6.

hey jackjaffee, or is it jack##s,oops just kidding,learn something about players before writing about them,there is no such thing as a Turkish MJ,because there is only 1 MJ.and Hedo can't carry MJ's jock strap, let alone guard KOBE,you must have missed Spike Lee's Kobe doin work,KB24 will never run out of gas,and let me say to all you Magic fans,  TO BAD SO SAD! Kobe & Co takes game 3. I look forward to seeing him hug the trophy again, and grab up the finals MVP.

You once again could not be more wrong...just because I am a Laker fan and I go by "L8kersFan74", that does NOT mean that I can't be objective. I am very objective where you are obviously not. Just because a person is a fan does not mean that he/she can not be objective about his/her team.

I think by me saying "the Magic winning 2 of the next 3 games is the most likely scenario over this next 3 game stretch", that PROVES my objectivity. If I was a "homer" (like you) I would predict a Lakers sweep. Another question...didn't you also predict the Magic to win Game 1, then picked them again to win Game 2...now you're picking them to win the next 3??? Do you get the point yet? Clearly this is the difference between being a "homer" (you) and being "objective" (me). Honestly, I think your "homerism" is worse than all those Celtics fans.

And as for referring to Kobe...if you had half of a brain you'd realize that obviously Kobe has been the only mainstay with the Lakers over the past dozen years. So, when I say "how many times has Kobe Bryant lost 3 in a row in a playoff series after leading 2-0" most people can understand that I'm using "Kobe Bryant" instead of "Lakers" because I'm referring to the Lakers during what can be termed as "the Kobe Bryant era", not their entire history with decades of irrelevance directly related to the points I'm making. Make sense yet?

i agree with L8kersFan72 he is a lakers fan but he doesn't let them blind him, on the other hand Osirus (retard machine) just blindly follows Orlando, saying they will win all 3 home games and insulting anyone that thinks otherwise. He didn't even give reasons why Orlando will win all 3 home games just another classic Homer that will be crush after the Lakers assassinate the Magics.

Hey L8kersFan74 do you think Osirus is becoming Cavs_lover homer level yet? Both of them are being really retarded.

That's pretty funny...I think he's definitely a "homer" and those two can certainly be put in the same league of "homerism", but, the main difference is that Osirus has been around a while and I don't think he'll run and hide when his team loses like Cavs_Lover did...that was totally pathetic!

1 down,  2 to go in orlando. And now lakers fan i will not run and hide if they dont get it done. Keep in mind man i have backed this team all year and said that they could get this far. Nobody believed it. So regardless of what happens i can feel good about this. So far 1 lopsided game and 2 close ones. These are even teams. Its about the names on the jerseys with these 2 and its obvious. But again NOBODY gave them a shot to go anywhere and they are competing for a title.  Lets go get game 4!!

stevebailey you are completely out of your mind!

try to keep your advice limited to what the weather is like, because announcing to this forum that JJ Redick will carry this Orlando team is absolutely nuts, a ridiculous thought of ever possibly happening.  You are living in an imaginary world of no look treys!!!!  ; )

Listen, I'm not bashin ya.

JJ will definitely have to work on his game in order for that to happen.  I can understand your enthusiam, you must really like the player, and I can agree with you he has drained some clutch 3's, but as far as what I've observed on the court, JJ hasn't established himself as a scoring threat at any point, and his playing time is very limited.

With that said, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY Mr. Redick will CARRY the Orlando Magic team to victory,

Cheers!

I agree that it is difficult to win three games in a row in the Nba playoff finals.  On the other hand, if their is a team that I could see pulling it off it would be the Magic.  The Lakers want to win the Finals so badly.  Last year they did too but they let it slip away.  Perhaps it happens two years in a row.  We will see.

Wouldn't be surprised to see LA lose 3 more in a row.  They blew Game 3.  Game 4 should be a rout by Orlando.

okay first of all

they didnt finish anything off

they shot 63% or something from the field for the game and they still could have lost the game at the end. There is something terribly wrong if your team shoots that well from the field and still only wins by 4. lets see if orlando could shoot lights out two more game in a row.

second.

kobe will not shoot that poorly from the line again... that basically cost them the game.

There is something terribly wrong with a team that barely shoots 40% on the road and would've won the game if it wasn't for a blown goal tending call at the end.

What's your point? 

I'd be more surprised to see Orlando shoot 60% than see Bryant blow it in the clutch again.  He's already done it twice in this series alone.
