They also won't shoot 30% again like in game one. The point is that they are getting the same shots each game. The Laker defense is doing nothing to challenge them. It's simply a matter of make them and stay in the game or miss them and fall out of it. They won't 62% again but they won't do 30% again either.

No they won't shoot 30% but the fact remains that even shooting 62% they were life and death to beat the lakers at home down 2-0. Regardless of the perimeter defense, the magic still can't get easy shots and i mean shots in the paint. You can't win a series like that.

In Game 2, they shot terribly, played terribly, had every call go against them, and still were a missed layup from winning the game in regulation.

I still cant believe they missed those two layups at the end... and especially the one with less than a second on the clock.

Orlando would be up 2-1 and the whole SERIES would be different.
