2009 NBA Finals: Game 5 Lakers @ Magic- Are we going back to Disney Land?

by Atma Brother ONE on Jun 14, 2009 4:39 PM PDT in NBA Comment 51 comments

Game 4 was quite painful to watch. Seeing Derek Fisher drop those two clutch treys (give him his props though) was tough to swallow. Fish is definitely adding to his folklore and years from now when he's retired most people are probably going to forget all the low-lights over the years from this dirty, all-time great flopper. His low hoops IQ will most likely be forgotten as well. <sigh>

But back to Game 5- Come on D-wight! Come on Hedo! Come on Rashard! Come on MP2! Shoot, come on Foyle! Send the finals back to LA for the people. I'd hate to see Kobe get his 4th ring this easy (relatively).

+ he went to double Fish on that OT 3-Pointer

-He also destroyed the team Chemistry with his return and put Alston out of rhythm.

I think ruining the chemistry falls more on Van Gundy’s shoulders for playing him.

I can only imagine that the decision couldn't have been an easy one

if van gundy did NOT play nelson, he risks having to deal with nelson’s resentment for not being able to play in the biggest series of nelson’s career. On the other hand, van gundy risks disrupting team chemistry as the team adjusts to nelson’s return.

Well

Alston carried that team for months. And he got snubbed because of Nelson. I’d be livid if I was Alston.

since i don't follow the magic

i’ll have to take your word on that. And yes, I would be mad too, especially if it was Nelson who PUSHED his way back into the lineup for the finals.

Well I don’t follow Magic outside of headlines, but when Jameer went down with his injury, Alston took over. Come Finals, all his work goes down the drain and he gets snubbed by Jameer who did in fact force himself in like you said.

Cain and Lincecum 1-2 Punch

Best in the league.
Hopefully Cain wins Cy Young this year.

Dan Haren hasn’t been getting the run support and Johnny Cueto probably won’t be able to keep up this pace, so it’s really down to Cain and Lincecum for the Cy Young.

The Giants won’t get there unless they make a deal for a bat and I’m not so sure they’re willing to do that.

I still don’t think they can get the Wild Card without another bat in the middle of that lineup.

They should’ve moved Sanchez for Cantu when they had the chance.

I feel bad for rafer alston.

only because he’s the one who carried the team throughout the playoffs and van gundy treated him like cr@p by taking him out for jameer nelson. Stupid move. Why can’t we get him as a Warrior?? Anyways, I really wish it wasn’t the lakers this year but whatever. So many in the team don’t even deserve the ring, nonetheless congrats to the lakers but I still despise them.
