- LA holds serve once again in Game 2... In a game that featured Rashard Lewis playing out of his mind, Andrew Bynum having as many fouls as points, and Orlando making 10 threes (more on this in a moment)... Courtney Lee's missed floater and then missed alley-oop layup ended up costing Orlando... Lewis had a very impressive 34 and 11, Hedo played well for the first time in weeks, and Dwight was Dwight (17 and 16)... but some interesting (and questionable IMO) substitution patterns from Stan Van Gundy are what sticks for me... JJ Redick played the lion's share of minutes at the 2 down the stretch despite shooting just 1-6 and having Courtney Lee on the bench who is a better defender and ball-handler... and they also decided to go the length of the stretch-run in the 4th without a point guard... That coaching advantage I talked about? Evident.... For the Lake-show? Kobe was efficient and dominant at times (29 and 8) and the Odom/Gasol duo played extremely well (which helped to overshadow Bynum being awful and Ariza shooting 3-13)...
- So what does this all mean? SVG is getting his behind handed to him through 2 games...I'm not shocked by that...but on the bright side...This is the 3rd game ALL year that Orlando has lost while making 10 or more 3's..so there is aberration potential if you're a Magic fan.... Game 3 is do-or-die time....
To the golf course...
- Tiger Woods shot an unbelievable 65 (low round of the day in the field by 3 shots, no less) to come from 4 shots back to win the Memorial aka Jack Nicklaus' tournament....this is a big deal b/c it's Tiger (obviously) and the Memorial is a top 10 tournament all year...amazing display...and if he hits 14 of 14 fairways, he's never, ever, ever, losing....his iron play is just too good...
That's all for now
