NBA Finals: Orlando Magic vs. LA Lakers


This should be a good match up, bringing us fans some entertaining finals games.  I called Orlando beating Cleveland and that was because the Magic played as a team throughout the whole playoffs; they didn't count on any individual, as Cleveland has to depend on L.James. So this series could be very similar to that of the Magic/Cleveland series. Orlando just wanted it more and took Cleveland 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, and now they are headed to LA!! I mistakenly called Denver beating LA and that was for the same reasons -- "teamwork" (Kobe) passing or trying to score 81!! But if Kobe passes, drives to the hoop and kicks it to his teammates for open shots, this leads to him eventually getting his own open shots.  This ability wins games as Kobe and the Lakers proved when LA beat Denver in the Western Conference Finals and are now headed to the NBA finals.
So if Kobe plays like that, this is going to be a great and long final series. Orlando won 2 out of 3 during the regular season, but LA will have the home court advantage!!  I believe that Orlando can take this series against this tough LA team. If the Magic can get D. Howard going and knock down their threes, it's hard for anyone to beat them as we saw this playoffs against The 76ers(4-2), Cleveland(4-2) and my beloved Celtics who took them to game seven in a battle of a series, until Orlando killed us in game seven. Meanwhile LA who beat Utah (4-1), Denver (4-2), and Houston took them seven who are a lot like the Magic, so Im seeing a fight a head of us. The Lakers have one of the best coaches ever which is also an advantage, but the Magic are a scary team, we will see!!!!  Finals start in LA on June 4th. Let's see some Magic.
