Game 3 Thoughts

       I think I disagree about this being a series. Lakers are up 2-1, and even last night, with the Magic shooting the lights out at home (highest shooting percentage in a Finals game ever) the Lakers still had the ball and a chance to win the game.  

       They almost won and the Magic played the best game they will play the rest of the series. 

        The way Kobe played is disappointing and somewhat scary for Lakers fans, but he does have teammates who can cover a little for him. 

       Am I the only one who sees this? The Magic will not shoot that well the remainder of this series and Kobe will not play so bad in the second half. 

       Shoot. I’m wrong. LA Times columnist TJ Simers has found the Magic’s secret weapon and good-luck charm. Seven year old Gina Marie Incandela, a little girl who was told when she was very young (her parents were told) that she would never be able to speak. Well she began speaking at three and since has developed a love for music at a school for autistic children. She has sung the anthem at six Magic playoff games. Guess how many the Magic have won out of those six? 

       Yep. They’ve won six. Including last night.  

       Uh oh Lakers. Somebody better take this girl out. Just kidding. Don’t. But maybe a well-timed coughing fit will throw her timing off, and with it, the Magic’s Finals chances. I vote we get Sasha Vujacic on this. That way he at least contributes in some way. 

       Another possible idea, if the other one doesn’t work, is for the Lakers to just book the kid at their games. They still have home court advantage. It might work. Her booking number is (407) 288-3670 (seriously). I think she’s available. Just give her people (her parents) a call. 

       I feel like I had other thoughts but I can’t remember them. Oh well.  

       I’ll leave you with this: Pau Gasol! Stop being a baby.

And I'm also pretty sure me asking people not to sue me won't help me not get sued. Nevermind. As long as I ask nicely it'll be okay. I think that's how the world works. Pretty sure at least.
