No. They lost by 25 points in game 1 and Alston normally does not shoot that well. Game 2 they had a better chance of winning but the loss was not because of SVG playing Nelson too much.
20 pts 8-12 shooting, couple of big FTs down the stretch.
Solid floor game outplaying Derek Swisher. (sorry to interrupt your slobbering timvp.)
If PopaGundy plays Alston like all above average basketball i.q. people would have in Gm 1 instead of Jameer Nelson, we lookin at 2-1 Magic?

Last round it was "Brownovich"
Now its "Van Gundyovich" and "PopaGundy".
If the Magic complete a miracle comeback and win the series, will Fabbs start a "PopaJack" or "Jacksonovich" thread?
That's a tough one MelMart as Brownovich learned how to veg out an offense and employ strategies such as dumb personell decisions to blow huge leads into losses directly from the master himself, 'Popped.
However if the Magic can complete the miracle and comeback over the LakerBois/refs, it will indeed be huge. Van Gundyovich seems to have Alstons confidence back, but perhaps Stan has learned some more tricks from Pop also. Lets hope if Van Gundy does try anymore stupidity some of his players will tune him out and help lead the Magic to a win anyways, ala SJax and Stevie Kerr in 2003.
alston sucks balls. he has a good game here or there but then sucks for several games. he's kind of like a point guard version of finley.
Glad to see Rafer didn't get to down on himself after the rough go-rounds in L.A. and to even see him take the onus upon himself to play better to solve the minutes issue rather than just staring down the coach (though the team usually plays better when they call StanVan into question, per D-Howard). He created a nice tempo for the Magic in game 3 like he did towards the end of the Celtics' series and attacked Fisher. He wasn't perfect, especially with some momentum stemming turnovers late in the game, but he set the tone for Orlando and they're going to need more fo that to take out L.A.
