I believe sports teams should have names that reflect their city or area. The Magic represent the magic of Disney. The Rockets represent Houston's NASA. The Knicks are Knickerbockers, which are only found in New York. L.A. is a desert. It is not filled with lakes. They should have changed the name when they moved out of ManyNoPlace. But the worst is The Utah Jazz. I actually know some Mormons who enjoy Jazz, but that is not a state characteristic. I've never heard scatting from The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. What next, The New Orleans Deserets?

there's no denying that if youre the star of the team and you go to the line at the end of the game and you need to make 1 free throw to seal the victory and you dont do it you dont deserve to win. also with the team ahead by 3 what on earth is Nelson the guy who was supposed to be guarding fisher standing way inside the 3 point line doing? trying to stop a lay-up? i dont recall if they had any time outs left but if so you could make a case for calling a time out and putting your tallest players out there to make it more difficult to shoot the 3. Having said all that i dont understand how you cant call a guy with the ball taking out a guy with his elbow, when they call flimsy fouls all the time. If im the chief official i call that a flagrant fall as i actually think kobe lifted up his elbow to clock him one.
