You need .3 seconds to catch and shoot.

.6 is enough to catch and lay in.

Like I said, it was tough, but he really should have made it.

Sure there is, it just cost the Magic big time.

He didn't need to push it against the backboard, there is such a thing as touch and he had the time to use it.

Paul · 06-09-2009, 05:19 PM

With that much time left and the ball leading him the other way, going off the backboard was his only choice.

Totally, I agree. Definitely wasn't trying to say he shouldn't have used the backboard.

Yes, but I believe what CC.SD is saying is to use touch off the board, not launch it off the glass.

Oh, that's my mistake, I thought you were saying he should've floated it in.

No but if he had pulled that off...legendary.

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 06-09-2009, 07:57 PM

If that was Kobe or someone who was a veteran I would say he SHOULD have made it but pressure can get to a young guy and he just put a little bit to much on the glass and missed.

M.O.T.H. · 06-09-2009, 08:02 PM

Time to wake up. We've been missing open looks for too long now. This has gotta be a great shooting game.

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 06-09-2009, 08:04 PM

I think the Magic will win this game and I think it will be by a good bit(6-7 points) to get some confidence going into game 4.

Paul · 06-09-2009, 08:08 PM

Yeah I think the Magic will get this one. The shots started falling in game 2 and they were an inch way from stealing it. Plus there at home which has to count for something despite what JVG thinks.

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 06-09-2009, 08:09 PM

JVG????????

Man I really hope this goes all 7 and not end early. I hate when basketball season is over

iowatreat54 · 06-09-2009, 08:11 PM

Jeff Van Gundy sucks at life. He still has nightmares about MJ.

M.O.T.H. · 06-09-2009, 08:13 PM

The Magic actually look like the Magic tempo wise. And Lee looks like well, Lee.

yo123 · 06-09-2009, 08:13 PM

Hey now. Enough of the JVG badmouthing. He's the best basketball analyst out there right now.

bantx · 06-09-2009, 08:14 PM

Im hoping for a game 7 also, Im just not a big baseball fan so yeah..

yo123 · 06-09-2009, 08:16 PM

You guys have no idea how badly I want to grow a beard like Shard's.

M.O.T.H. · 06-09-2009, 08:18 PM

lol. It is sexy.

Lee looks confident on both ends. I'm happy there. He should have crowded on Kobe a little more on the three but, he's done great on him so far.

Definitely a top-five goatee of all time.

yo123 · 06-09-2009, 08:24 PM

Wow what an awful call on Howard there.

M.O.T.H. · 06-09-2009, 08:25 PM

So we're finally seeing Magic basketball. Took long enough. Too bad L.A. doesnt feel like missing anything.

Paul · 06-09-2009, 08:30 PM

Wish they would stop mentioning the 06 finals
