---- The series is over, right? The 2009 NBA season is over untheatrically the Lakers have had a 2-0 lead, right? Stan the man should be buried as he panicked again using multiple lineup changes, all while Dukie plays for 27 minutes (JJ was 2.9, reaching a three-point shots, his specialty is), right? Kobe can not stop, right? Lamar Odom is killing with its efficiency and versatility, right? The Master of panic is outweighed by the Zen Master, right? Wroaang.

It has been done before (at the end the NBA). I've seen before. I was there when Dwyane Wade had his team 0-2 (basically 0-3, and the Heat were trailing by 14 in less than eight minutes left in the quarter) to finally defeat the Mavericks by winning four straight. No, I was not there when the '77 Trail Blazers fell 0-2, only to return and beat the 76ers 4-2. And no, I was not there when the '69 Celtics beat the Lakers after being down 0-2 either. But that's not the point. The point is this: It's happened before, you can return occur.

This Magic team lives and dies by the 3-point shot. That's what at this point and that is what could go even further. Why not working on this series? Phil Jackson must have mocked Van Gundy with their defensive schemes. Something Mike Brown could not understand. And the Lakers players are high-wing and long term. Cleveland was missing something. Or maybe, just maybe, Orlando player were distracted by the beard of ZZ Top (sorry, could not say whether it was Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill or under all that garb.) Yes, some of it may be true, but the underlying truth is something that every whelp the first time practice: decision making.

Orlando perimeter players are getting looks great. As Van Gundy said during interviews after the game, fully air on NBATV (what a fabulous network, by the way) "Only three types are watching," Turkoglu, Lewis and Superman. Therefore, Courtney Lee is very open, Mickael Pietrus is open, Skip (Rafer Alston) and Jameer Nelson are open (if indeed Stan decides to play a point guard) and most importantly, JJ Redick is open. These guys have that shooting, period.

Orlando was the best team in 3-point shot throughout the year, as shown only the last series against the king and his noblemen. This series is an unfortunate shooting 18/54 from beyond the arc. Yes, Orlando lives and dies by the 3-point shot. Well, for two games I've been dying. It's time of living. Live!

Stan team already down 0-2, so you have nothing to lose. You can basically just fly, it certainly fits the mold on your computer. Even Kobe himself said that Orlando is becoming a "loose goosey" team.

Moreover, the three guys that Phil has made decided to guard, played well in Game 2. With Rashard Lewis late in the second quarter, Hedo, He does, the fourth quarter, the man not only comes in large on the offensive end, but defensively as well: The intent of a slap in Kobe to finish the game in regulation (which of course, Kobe complained about waiting for a missing, as it does after each shot fired, or given, for that matter). As for Superman, who was not at all great, but still the big man dominant on the court.

Not to mention, in fact I am the (expletive) mention it! This series was just an attempt to Courtney Lee missed layup (although an attempt quite difficult) to be attached. Moreover, Pau Gasol goaltender in the game itself. No, not really affect the vaccine, however, as the rule book of the NBA: "A player must not touch the ball or the basket when the ball is using the ring on its lower base." For the common man, which is goaltending! What means that the series is tied. But that's all hearsay right now. Unless David Stern, grow a pair and actually do something about it (insurance, and that Kobe does not win everything, then have already lost out on LeBron win it all).

"You never know you know, [A] the series can change," said Stan. So Stan, and history has shown that. The only difference here is that the three teams who are alone in the glory of 0-2 returns, do not have to face Kobe Bean Bryant. Heat's toughest opponent was a gentle German (now that's an oxymoron), not the Kobester.

But hold on. Portland That '77 team had to deal with Daryl Dawkins and physician type (you know I'm talking about). And while Kobe is one of the best I've played the game, he is not the logo of the league. Let my readers, is Mr. Jerry West, who Want Chamberlin was also on his side (he thought that the shank was worth mentioning). And yes, the '69 Celtics not only came back from 0-2, but defeated the legendary Laker mystique too.

Stan the Man guiding the likes of Hedo and Rashard and the new Superman, anything can happen.

Will it happen probably not. But it is possible. In fact, it is possible.
