Before the Cavs series, was there anyone give Magic a chance? Nobody. Cavs swept 2 teams in previous 2 rounds. It was supposed to be a LeBron vs Kobe showdown. But in ECF, Cavs didn't even have a chance. Are you going to blame Stan for that LeBron last second miracle shot? Magic won the series convincingly by NOT-doubling LeBron, and made others to beat them. They succeeded. You can't say in retrospect what if they doubled LeBron without the ball.
It's playoffs, games are decided in last minute. How many times they pulled out on last play in playoffs, against 76ers, Celtics and Cavs?
