The Magic need to trust Howard more. We saw Howard talking to Evans on the last play of the half. There was no need to foul because DH was in position to make RIP eat the ball. They have been doing well at getting Howard the ball but the players should trust Howard more once a player gets in the paint. Turk needs to stop flailing when he drives. Why not go for the Dunk? Dude is 6-10...

Kobe is whinning and crying again wanting to be traded to a contending team. He's also wanting a re-count on the MVP votes, since he didn't get every vote. Let's go Jazz.

Does Greg Popovich have Robert Horry as a big shot need a bucket or need a shot. He gave one to Steve Nash a year ago and delivered a potential season ending blow to David West in tonights game. Is he dirty or doing his job? I believe the NBA needs to suspend Horry and Greg Popovich for 10 games each. Horry has to be acting under orders from Pop because he can no longer sco

I know they're playing the defending champions
I know Tim Duncan is one of the best players we've ever seen
I know how good Tony Parker can be
But seriously look at the Hornets, first things first David West made Tim Duncan look ancient the other day and thats not going to stop
Chris Paul is so good it makes me giggle like a giddy little school girl

Anyone remember the domination at the Palace last playoffs by LeBron (LeBrick?)? Oh man, I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. That wa s definitely a special NBA moment. Let's hope he can duplicate some of that by at least stealing game 5 on the road. Obviously, he'll need more help this time from Wally and Z, as scoring every single point in overtime might be hard to do...again.
