Game 3 had a bunch of surprises. The Magic shot 62.5% from the field (playoffs record), kobe's free throw percentage for the game was lower than Shaq's career free throw percentage, and Kobe looked human for the first time in this series.
While the series is going like i expected (lakers win first 2, magic win games 3 and 5, lakers win games 4 and 6), it does not make it any easier to watch. Watching alongside my fellow lakers fans i could see the tears forming as Kobe has the ball poked away by DHoward (it was a reach haha) effectively putting the game out of reach. I waited for them to leave my house before I curled up into the fetal position and cried myself.
THE MAGIC WILL NEVER EVER EVER SHOOT LIKE THAT AGAIN! 62.5% is a RIDICULOUS number. I felt like i was watching NBA Jam for super nintendo. They made three baskets in a row ("he's on fire!!") and the hot streak never ended. I think the creation of the Kobe puppet (or an undercover Hedo Turkoglu) in those commercials may have been just the thing that ugly Turkish bastard needed. He is playing like Kobe.

One thing to say about Kobe. I bet he shot free throws for at least 2 hours today after practice. He is still my Finals MVP. And the MVP of my heart.
Final thing: Tim Floyd, you are a moron. USC is a bunch of cheaters.
