Game 3 Postgame Analysis

9434124_320X240I would like to tip my hat to the Orlando Magic for a job well done.  They played very well in game 3.  Anytime you get 5 players in double figures is a plus.  As I watch the game, I saw the same Orlando Magic team that played so well throughout the playoffs.  I don’t know what happened to that team in games 1 and 2.  But I guess a lil home cooking will always make you step up your game.  And the Magic did just that.  Now I hate to bring up what if’s but just imagine if Courtney Lee had made that alley-oop.  We would be talking about a 2-1 Magic lead.  I am just putting that out there to mess with you Magic fans out there.  As a man that has no real vested interest in either of these teams is mildly glad about tonight’s outcome.  The ultimate question is can the Magic keep up their level of play for 3 more games?  Or will the Lakers strike back with vengeance?  I know the suspense must be killing Magic fans.  But we shall see what the outcome will be on Thursday.  Game 4 now is just as critical as game 3.  I think if the Magic continue to play like they did tonight, they have a good shot at winning the series.  I hope that they manage to deny Kobe another ring!

On a side note, I would like to shout out to Wall Street Plaza!  I am sure the place is going bonkers right now with the Magic winning their first Finals game ever!  If you attended the viewing party at Wall Street, I would like to hear more about the craziness that happened downtown.  I am happy that Wall Street is getting the business it rightfully deserves.  So if you ever want a drink downtown head over to Wall St.

Congratluations again Magic!

NBA Finals

Amazing happened in game 1.. An amazing butt whooping!

Amazing happened in game 1.. An amazing butt whooping!

So did anybody catch the game last night?  Better yet did anybody witness the massacre that was Game 1 of the NBA Finals?  Now please allow me to throw out this disclaimer now.  I am a Celtics fan that happens to live here in Orlando.  I was devastated when the C’s were eliminated from the playoffs.  I want to make it clear that I am not a huge fan of the Magic.  I like Dwight Howard a.k.a. SuperMan.  If you asked me who I am cheering for in the finals?  I would say Orlando.  So with that being said, I think the Magic have been playing phenomenal basketball.  I mean they eliminated the current champs and the team with the best record during the regular season.  But the team that played in game 1 was not the same team by anymeans.  As much sh*t that I am going to get for saying this, I thought the Magic looked like they were just happy to be in the NBA Finals.  I will also say that prior to game one all the Magic fans were screaming out that their team isn’t getting any respect.  And that the media is all about the Lakers and Kobe Bryant.  Well it is hard to argue this when your team played like the dump I took this morning!  I am going to conclude with this thought… If the Magic lose again like they did in game 1, this series will be a clean sweep for the Lakers.    If a sweep does happen, I cannot wait to hear what excuses Magic fans make up.
