Lakers fans cheering for the Magic have a reality check coming...

[QUOTE=RocketGreatness]The same Dwight Howard who will be going up against Andrew Bynum? Ok. We are talking about the same Dwight Howard who got completely shut down by Kendrick Perkins right..
[/QUOTE]

Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.

[QUOTE=raptorfan_dr07]Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.[/QUOTE]

Perhaps, but we have 3 bigs and 18 fouls to throw at him. And thats not including Mbenga.

[QUOTE=raptorfan_dr07]Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.[/QUOTE]


We had perkins and that was it.

Cavs have a very slow Z and an Undersized Wallace with a Varejau who is not strong enough.

Lakers have athletic Bigmen who will take Howard out the box area.

Seriously i dont care for either team, but the lakers have the perfect mix to beat the Magic in 6 games.

[QUOTE=raptorfan_dr07]Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.[/QUOTE]

Bynum is playing through an injury, so it will be Gasol who plays Dwight. I don't think Gasol will have any problems. Gasol is taller and has a jumpshot. Dwight does NOT have a jumpshot and cannot shoot over the taller Gasol.

It sucks that Odom, Ariza, Kobe, and Bynum is injured, yet Lakers are still favored to win it all.

If the Lakers decide to play like they played last night they have a way better chance than the Cavs.

Cleveland would be the easier matchup but I think we can still beat the Magic. The series will probably go 6 or 7 games perhaps but I'm not terrified about the thought of facing Orlando but at the same time I'm aware that they aren't going to just lie down and not give us a run for our money.

well i would of much rather faced the cavs in the finals. but i think we should be able to handle the magic in 5 or 6. Need to take those first two at home

DWIGHT HOWARD is the MAN :bowdown: :bowdown:

This should be a good series.

Despite the "Lebron vs. Kobe" hype, I don't think the Cavs-Lakers would've made that entertaining a series. The 2 games they played this year were disappointing. The Magic-Laker games I saw (with Nelson playing PG) were exciting.

I was rooting for the Magic beacause:

a) Jameer Nelson isn't playing (he was responsible for their 2 wins vs LA)
b) We'll have home court advantage

[QUOTE=miniharrison37]Yeah, I used to like bruceblitz posts, but after that little statement not as much.[/QUOTE]
I apologize for bringing it so hard in this post, because I know the silent majority of Lakers fans weren't cheering against LeBron just for the sake of cheering against him, I aimed this post at the ones who were. Should be a fun series to watch but I warn you Lakers fans, this Magic team is scary. I have Lakers winning game 1, if you don't win game 1 the fat lady will already be warming up her vocal cords. From game 2 and on I can realistically see the Magic controlling this series. Better close out on the perimeter and no way will the Lakers bigs be able to contain Dwight. Bynum will be in foul trouble the entire series.

Lakers fans better not get too over-confident against these Magics.

This reminded me of when Lakers fans wanted to face HOU rather than POR, and got a little too over-confident, and the next thing you know the Rockets took them to 7 games.

"Be careful what you wish for?"

Lakers fans better have learned from this.

[QUOTE=bruceblitz]The Lakers fans who are cheering for the Magic are retards. If I was a Lakers fan I would want to face the Cavs but they are blinded by their hate for LeBron, they just want to see LeBron's team fail even though he's the only player in NBA history to put up 40+ 8+ 8+ in a series, which he's doing so far in this series. Should be cheering for the Cavs. IF the Magic close this series out, which it looks inevitable, you guys will get what you wished for. Be careful what you wish for.

-Lakers suck at defending the pick n roll, the Magic are great at getting open 3 point shots off a high screen

-Lakers will not have an answer for Dwight Howard

-Lakers bigs will be neutralized by Dwight

The Magic will crush the Lakers if LeBron doesn't pull a historic performance to bring the Cavs back in this one (cavs are down by 15 points in the first half as I type this)[/QUOTE]


It must hurt to have sand in your vag*na, doesnt it?

Well i wanna see Dwight get himself a ring so now its pretty much a win win, except id prefer the lakers to win:D

Wrong. My Bulls didn't lose a series they were favored to win. I'm actually kind of happy that the Cavs were eliminated because it increases our chances to bring LeBron to Chicago. My Bulls will get D Wade or LeBron in 2010.

+1..:cheers:

Why are you acting like the Lakers will get crushed by the Magic. I clearly remember the two games we played against them were very close. At LA they beat us by 6, but it was close all game but they had Jameer Nelson who scored 28 points and Dwight Howard who had 25. The game that we played in Orlando was 106-103, so it is a lot closer then you think.

However all the games they won in the regular season against the Cavaliers was by double digits and it showed in this series why. We can say the regular season does not matter but all the games we played against the Nuggets in the regular season were extremely close and it definetly showed in the series. We are the number one offense and the Magic defense will definetly have problems with us way more then they did with Cleveland. Cleveland had plenty of open looks they just were not hitting their shots, what makes you think the Lakers wont either?

You say the Lakers play bad defense? Yes we play bad defense when we are not focused. Both of the games in these playoffs that we have been focused the teams got blown out. Against the Rockets in Game 7, we were prepared and it was more worse then a blowout, and last night as well. When the Lakers WANT TO WIN they are unbeatable, and I know they want this championship bad, hence the straight faces at the trophy presentation last night. I did not see one Laker player crack a big smile like the Magic did tonight.

You are just a Lakers hater and do not want them to win. You say you did not pick the Nuggets to win, please you basically said everything but the word win. You said how we would get killed by Melo, and how we have no one to guard Billups, and I clearly remember you saying then the Lakers will get a big wakeup call, just watch. Well we all watched and we saw that when the Lakers did not play defense they lost, when they decided to show up they won. I think we had more trouble with Houston then we did with Denver, so your predictions so far have all been off.

Because of your hate towards the Lakers, you can not see what everybody else sees. I as a Laker fan wanted us to face Magic not because I hate Lebron or the Cavs because they definetly would have been an easier matchup, but to prove to people like you that when the Lakers want to play, they are unstoppable. Like I said before the Nuggets series, YOU will be the one getting the wakeup call. Even Orlando fans can admit that this will be a tough series and for you to act like it wont just shows your hate.

Who will guard Kobe? Gasol? Odom? The reason Cavs lost was because they did not have another man besides Lebron who was able to score night in and night out that the Magic defense can focus on; and that is why they were able to only focus on Lebron, and his teammates still found open looks, they just could not hit them. With the Lakers those shots will go in, and Orlando will be forced to double team. I projected even before the playoffs started Lakers in 6 over Magic and I am sticking to that; but you my friend will get a big wake up call, since you seem to have 0 basketball knowlegde when all of your predictions so far have been off when it comes to the Lakers, and are just based upon hate.

Great post.:applause:

Yea, both those games Nelson was super clutch. Lakers still have a chance to beat them.

I like the Magic in 6. This team is so focused and resiliant. Lakers are about to face a team that has the CONFIDENCE after beating Boston on there court and Cleveland in a series plus knowing they were 2-0 against the Lakers in the Regular season. Orlando has a Beast in the Middle and sharp shooters all over the place..they are very hard to defend. Lakers have some things too but Magic has a will to win that is VERY impressive.

Bruce I think your a great poster but crush the lakers. I don't think so.. The LAKERS have athletic players at every position except the pt guard position.. Kobe will have much better looks than Lebron and Kobe doesn't have to be a facilitator.. The Lakers have ariza to defend the opposing teams best offensive player and Lamar ,GASOL AND ARIZA can defend much better at the perimeter than Wallace ,varejo and Z...

[QUOTE=Kingwillball]LOL..NO Yao not close to Dwight as far as changing a gameplan or effecting the outcome of a game[/QUOTE]
:wtf:

What's the worst that can happen? LA not winning the Finals? Been there done that. :oldlol:

I have a feeling that the Lakers have been overlooking other teams as they were playing for a long-term goal. Now is the time where they'll have to show what they've learned this year.

It should be a great series but I don't see what the big reality check is. People already know that the Magic are a great team.

Man, Bruce comes off so bitter in almost any post regarding the Lakers.

- You already said the Nuggets were going to beat the Lakers and how the Lakers fans were in for a rude awakening in that series.

- Yes, the Magic can give the Lakers problems. The Lakers struggle defending the pick and roll and if Bynum gets in foul trouble early like he has so far in the playoffs Dwight has the potential to really hurt them.

- Lakers fans are cheering for the Magic because they have HC over the Magic, not because they think they're going to just roll over them in the finals. Call it the lesser of two evils if you will. It's not like we have alot of great options to choose from at this point, we can either face a 66 win team that has HC over us and the MVP, or a 59 win team that beat us twice in the regular season. Either way, it's going to be tough. HC is huge though and it's pretty rational for Laker fans to want Orlando for that reason.

So no, Lakers fans aren't retards for wanting to face the team that gives them HC. You however come off extremely bitter and irrational in nearly any post I've ever seen you make regarding the Lakers or Kobe. Seriously, it's basektball man, I get that you enjoy living vicariously through people with far more talent than you but you don't need to get so worked up over it. At this point it's just kind of sad.

That being said, go Lakers. I for one think the Magic will be a tough match up, and hope the Lakers are able to pull it out.

Leave the Lakers alone!!!!
