We Got Ourselves A Couple Of Good Series

Man I love NBA playoff basketball!
Three Conference finals games, three barnburners.
Though, either Western Conference team could very easily be up 2-0 right now. Both took turns making major bone headed plays at the end of a game.
Game 1
What was Kenyon Martin thinking fouling Kobe Bryant, basically giving the Lakers two points. Kenyon, don’t reach!
Anthony Carter, pass fake or something! No lobs! And apparently Carter also made another mistake shortly thereafter by not playing sufficient enough defense on Kobe (I was going to give him a pass on this, he’s giving up about 5 inches on Kobe).
Game 2
Lakers were careless with the ball and didn’t come up with enough of the loose balls either. The refs screwed them a tad with that J.R. Smith violation no-call, but it happens.
Magic over Cavs in Game 1
The Magic actually kept their focus down the stretch and made some huge shots. Shard Lew especially.
And before I forget
This guy finally made some shots and made up for less than spectacular bench performances from the other Nuggets.
