Discuss the Magic vs Lakers matchup

[All Net]

This is how I see it:

game 1- Orlando
game 2- LA
game 3- Orlando
game 4- Orlando
game 5- LA
game 6- Orlando

Mark my words. Orlando's 3 point shooting will devastate the Lakers.

Just like Kobe, Gasol and guys like Odom will devastate the Magic. The Magic are not winning twice in L.A...just isn't happening.

This series is going to be a good one.
I know I called the series for the Lakers in 6 but it really can go either way.
If the Magic shoot the lights out they are just to hard to beat and they are good to do that at least twice this series or more. And the Lakers have trouble with teams like this....gunna be a tough one for them even tougher then the Nuggets and Rockets series. I think if Phil makes the right adjustments and Kobe involves everyone and they all play on that 6 gear the Lakers will be fine.

Here is to a great series Magic fans. May the best team win!




Now let the SMACK BEGIN!!!!!

lakers in 6 because lakers have a better matchup with howard and the magics players have not felt the atmosphere of the nba finals

The Magic have been the best road team by a mile in the playoffs, though, and LA has looked pretty suspect, at times, at home. I think the Magic can easily take one, I just don't know if they will. It will definitely be interesting to see how they come out in game 1.

If Lakers take game one they will win the Finals.
Reason being.....Phil Jackson.

i agree, if we win the first game phil will find a way to win the series.

Lakers win.

Over the last 20 yrs, the road team has won less than 25% of the Finals. 2-3-2 is just too cruel. Cannot expect to win Game 6 or 7 on the road, and winning 4 of 5 v. a terriffic team is just too hard.

Orlando in 5 aint a bad pick, they steal one from us at home and then win their 3 at home... If the series goes to 6 or 7 i think lakers will have it.

It's definitely possible, but these being the Top 2 road teams in the NBA, I don't think home court will even play a factor. It didn't play much of a factor in the Lakers-Nuggets and Magic-Cavs series.

I see a similar series like Cavs vs Magic. It will be close, but lakers will win most of the close games with their experience and kobe gasol.

lakers in a difficult 6. Might become easier if Bynum and/or Odom shows up
