Kenny Smith Your are a good commentator but you did not have to add salt to the wound
Of the Orlando Magic in 1995 Kenny you came down made the three pointer that sent the game into overtime and one game after the magic had the game 99.9 won the three pointer you made was the beginning that took all the sail out of the Orlando Magic Now we are back.
The Orlando Magic as a team may have to come and thank you for your comments that you said after winning the East.Your comments SIR. Kenny Smith was like the salt poured on an open wound and for that reason I do not know if I can accept your apology at this time.
The Orlando team need to hear your comments as a team and use it for extra motivation now at first I did not give them a ghost of a chance for winning but Charles maybe right but I would not pray for a game seven, but it was the facial expression and tone of voice when Sir. Charles said the magic could when in seven and you said inside the Forum with such disbelief maybe that was because he did not have his ink pen between his fingers of his right hand to let you know he is giving his expertise and why he believes in Magic.
If SIR. Charles can see I might can to if I see how they match up and change my strategy from game to game.
Because for me if I was coaching even going up against the zen master I could find away to win from listening to your comment Kenny when you said the Lakers are not playing as they could as a team and over confident I know Charles to me that is a big weakness that I could use as my advantage that would be my focal point of attack I would come with a lot of different looks to see how the Lakers defense it just like in football or basketball when they call time out after they see what formation you are using to defense.
Yes, I would throw different looks to find more weaknesses to attack for those weaknesses shown to me would be like weak links in the chain and by the Lakers playing as Charles said lackadaisical that means the whole chain is weak and then that will be the only thing that can save them is their experience which is hard to overcome but it came be done if they Magic out hustle the lakers and have good bench production Reddick has to come back to life for the magic he could give them some bolster encouragement.
Another point was I know the lakers have a lot of taller guys for Dwight Howard I thought was like Oden or bynum but when you said Gasol? I said I have to see the match up because I believe if hypothetically speaking I personally done make it to the final game of a championship I am not going to let one player defeat me You may can get a win or two but you have to do it four times for a championship.
He would have to show me and the World that he can win against my five if he can win it on his own then so be it I would like to congratulate him and show up in their winning locker room and give them an extra case of champagne to make sure they have enough and to boost their morale kobe is one person I would not change basic strategy just for one player.
To me you have to have a good tandem for a team to have success with a one multi talented Player like you had pippin for Jordan Cleveland has Mo Williams for Lebron as a tandem at one time it was shaq and Kobe it takes three but with two superstars like shaq and kobe it could work because it was an awsome duo a lot of the offense was coming from those two players and I think that is what made pippin and jordan great they complimented well as a team they were a dynamic duo as well both could score and play good defense and had great basketball smarts. It may turn out to be a good series let's see how the coaches call it.
I would hate for Orlando to die by the three point if they come in with that strategy they will because that is a dooms strategy because they get three point happy and be trying to make threes to increase the lead and when they miss the team goes the other way for a quick basket even if they make the three it is to much time on the clock especially when the team has a kobe bryant they should take no more than half of the three's they usually take and just play the lakers the three has done it's job we have enjoyed the feast.
Have a Good Day I really enjoy the expert commentating and insite that you all give I could be wrong about Mr. Kobe bryant George Karl almost gave him the nickname that Charles gave to Michale Jordan he said Jesus probably could not have stopped him from scoring you care about how many points he can toss in for start to finish can we shut down or disrupt the play of the other players.To me that is what Made Jordan and Pippin work so well because they played so well together and as a team
I notice how Michael would come out and get the tempo of the game and his team mates involved as quickly as possible knowing him and pippin can score points in bunches and it makes it easier for the tandem because they are going to have to carry the team offensively if not where is the scoring coming from.It did not make any difference he would not try to go out at the onset and do a lot of scoring getting his team mates involved was first was key he know he could not when it alone
When Michale had bad games scoring which was very few pippin and the team know if the could keep the game close Jordan may start making baskets at will and win the game another that made Jordan an even greater player was his ability to motivate others on his team to step up you could see the transformation in particular how horace grant changed from mediocre to good and great consistent play every game and a lot of players right today are inspired from his basketball advice and teaching.
What strikes me and probably how quickly the next Michale Jordan has came about in Lebron remember how we would say it will never be any that would come close to a Michale Jordan of basket.Please forgive me Lebron I hope you dont mind still being compared to Michale but their will come a time when the question will be is they the next Lebron James or Michael Jordan and they can get tired of that question.
