I can't believe this game is in OT. I would love to have the Fakers right now as this game is over IMO. Seen this scenario too many times.

lewis has a wide open 15 footer
he clanks, orl trots back, kobe and gasol sprint down for a dunk with 30 left, howard misses 2 ft's, ron jeremy decides not to foul, nelson still in the game defends the drive and not the three, nothing but net, 5 secs left and the 4th option takes a rushed 20 footer with 3 secs left, ot, loss
if i didnt have money on orlando i'd be wondering how in the hell they actually lost....since i had orl on the moneyline, it makes perfect sense.

By going full court though, it took time for Fisher to bring the ball up. The clock wound down under Van Gundy?s seven-second standard, but defender Jameer Nelson(notes) did what his coach had told him.
?We weren?t supposed to foul,? Nelson said. ?I should have pushed up on him a little more.?
Yea think????
Not sure it would have helped much anyway. Nelson is about as tall as a jockey and Fisher probably still would have dropped in a 3 over that midget.

Then Stan throws Nelson under the bus.
?In retrospect we gave [Fisher] too much space to shoot the ball,? Van Gundy said, throwing it back on Nelson?s defense. ?We played like we were trying to prevent the layup. We just didn?t play Fisher, just didn?t guard him.?
Stan is a moron.

agree, Destructor. i had Orlando -1 (bought the half). inserting Nelson was a mistake. I thought they were resting Alston for crunch time. they look like a different team with Alston running the point. was a hell of a shot by Fisher, but if D. Howard hits those FREE THROWS it is not an issue with only 11 seconds on the clock. Magic would still probably won by two. congrats to LA backers. Matt:sadwave:
Stan---
You are the one who didn't foul, you are the one who benched Rafer. He never took the blame for benching Rafer.
Why does he start Courtney Lee??He plays him 4 minutes each half and the guy does nothing. That is one guy who should have been benched entire night.
