The NBA Finals could very easily be 3-1 Orlando; but they aren’t. Two overtime losses; games that could’ve, SHOULD have, been won by the Magic in regulation.
Inexperience? Possibly.
I don’t believe the Magic have been "outcoached." Van Gundy’s philosophy on not fouling will forever be disputed; but I wouldn’t have fouled either. However as everyone knows, I’d be irate that Jameer was 3 feet below the 3-pt line on Fisher’s regulation tying 3. He did close; but you can’t let a known-shooter get to that spot!
“Free”-throws and turnovers … plenty of blame to go around. Dwight did commit numerous turnovers though; and miss two foul shots at the end … I heard today that Kareem thinks Howard could score 10+ points if he kept the ball high (avoiding being stripped).
Kobe, Odom & Fisher all got “chippy,” to use a hockey word … but all the NBA will review is Pietrus’ foul on Gasol. Why the HEX was Pau dunking? Classless.
