Does anyone buy the schtick about 30-year-old Kobe being fatigued? It couldn't possibly be that he's met a better team, heavens no not Kobe.

Shaq was 34 when he led Miami to the title. If Shaq can do it, certainly Kobe can too, right?

Meanwhile Kobe didn't commit that foul. And to prove it, after the whistle he went to the bench and fouled his towel. If you are willing to examine it, you'll find his sweat all over it.

Do you want to talk about it? What happened this time?

Lakers can't buy a bucket. Lakers can't get a break either. Some horrible calls that first half. I'm sure Jax will get fined for his comments to Doris Burke.

The nice thing about these refs.....home court advantage is obvious in this series. The Lakers will be the ones getting all the calls in Games 6 and 7.

Oh, well. When has this team ever done anything the easy way?

Well you make your own luck. Or that's what I tell myself. But it sure is frustrating watching Odom, Bynum, and Gasol on the bench. Even more frustrating is to see the Lakers miss wide open shots. They're getting tons of looks. They just can't put the ball in the hole. Some credit to the Magic's D, but the Lakers need to bury these wide open 3's.

It's also frustrating watching poor pick and roll defense. You think you'd get used to it as a Laker fan, but I sure haven't. Ariza seems to have caught Bynum's space cadet syndrome this game. And I have to believe that Jax and the coaching staff have instructed Fish to go under every screen. There's no other way. Why isn't Shannon Brown playing more? Sasha shouldn't leave the bench.

Kobe pushing Dwight away from him. Kobe doesn't like having a large sweaty man holding onto him? How ironic.

The Sun will come out....tomorrow....so you gotta hang on till tomorrow...come what may! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day away!

You're right, they had to fight through a whole lot of adversity to acquire Pau Gasol.

For Lakers fans, watching Kwame Brown leave was like having to get rid of one of our own children.

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

This one looks like it will go down to the wire again. Fun game to watch. Lakers in a load of foul trouble so if the Magic were smart, they would keep attacking the basket instead of shooting jumpshots.

I must admit, I would not be saddened to see the Lakers lose this thing.

Why not. Jazz fans would have felt the same way about Luther Wright had he been around a little bit longer.

You may get your wish. What a horrible thing to desire!

I enjoy Turkoglu 3's more than Ariza 3's.

Looks like the Magic will tie it up. This has turned into a very fun series.
