Magic Vs. Lakers- Game 2

That was one of the best-worst game I've seen in a long time. As a Laker fan, I don't know whether to be excited going to Disney World up 2-0 or down because of the way we played. In particular, Kobe was just awful. That was THE WORST 29 and 8 game you will ever see. Down the stretch, he turned it over and forgot about his teammates. Hell, he made Hedo look like Joe Dumars. Extremely disappointing.

As for the rest of the Lakers, I am impressed by Lamar Odom's play in particular. I am waiting for one of those games where he decides to zone out, but so far so good.

And Fisher is finally back: 13 points and a bunch of critical plays in this one.

My outlook for game 3: I expect Dwight Howard to have his best game of the series: somewhere around 23 and 16. The Magic will play at a frenetic pace and guys like Alston, Lee, and Pietrus will hit probably close to 10 3's. If the Lakers want to stay in this game early, the killer Kobe is going to have to show up. The Magic are too good to be swept and I think they will win this one.
