I know that probably not that many of you will agree with me but this game tonight was the biggest single game chokejob in NBA Finals history. I'm sure some of you will say that game 3 of the 2006 Finals was the biggest chokejob courtesy of the Mavs but I have my reasons.
Reason #1
The Magic had everything going their way throughout the game. They had a double digit lead at one point and let's not forget that the Magic had a big advantage in free throw attempts.
Reason #2
The Magic were terrible at the FT line. I've never seen an all star player suck so much ass at the FT line in an NBA Finals game. If the Magic would have made half of the FT shots that they missed, they would have probably won the game in regulation.
Reason #3
The Lakers did not shoot a single free throw in the 4th quarter. When you shoot between 10 to 20 FTs in a quarter and your opponent shoots none, you have to take advantage.
Anyways, the Magic choked big time. The Magic will probably win game 5 because they have some pride left and the Lakers will close the series out in LA in game 6.
