OK, so at least we got one win out of it.
The magic are now 1-8 in the finals from two trips 14 years apart. Where did we go wrong? We get blown out in game one, game two is close, and by game three I thought the Magic had turned it around for good with a fantastic victory at home.
Dwight Howard is an absolute stud, and I respect him for working hard in the gym and pushing his teammates. But, it is number 12's fault the Magic fell in five.
Some people will tell you that you cannot blame one person for an entire outcome, but I respectfully disagree and blame Mr. Dwight Howard.
I commend him for working on his free throws, but to put it simply, he choked big time. The magic were up by three with Dwight at the line, only seconds left from tying the series. He misses both, and well, the rest is history. Lakers charge down and Fisher hits the three, wiping away sweet victory.
With those missed free throws, the Magic players lost their hope and aspiration, playing like an unorganized assembly of school girls to finish the series.
Sincerely,
The "do boy"
