2009 NBA Finals!!!!!! - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic

[Teddy Roosevelt]

I don't care how many games it takes - I just want another championship!

I'd prefer the series to last 6 games, so the Lakers can win it at home, but who am I to be picky?

[wcsoldier]

The main reason we both lost (very closed games) against them is not playing so that's already a good thing ...

[Lunatic]

A true test of character for Bynum here, let's see how he handles Howard

I can't see the Lakers losing this

BUT if Orlando keeps this level of play up, they have a solid chance..

LAKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Our bigs will have trouble guarding but Turgolu or Lewis on Pau that is also a big disadvantage for them. Thats why it will be key for Bynum to stay out of foul trouble and force Howard to guard him. I predict one hell of a series with a lot of points. These last two game for the Lakers have been really promising tho so i hope they stay playing like that and take advantage of the D thats in front of them.

MAGIC IN 5!

in my honest & not even sarcastic opinon, i would say SOME Laker fans on this board could almost care less what happens in this series because we all know the series you REALLY cared about ended tonight.

Imo , Lamar has to start ...

Defensive matchups : Fish on Skip 2 my Lou, Ariza on Lee , Kobe on Turkoglu , Lamar on Lewis and Pau on Dwight .

Offensive wise , we have to force Howard to defend Gasol ( remember when Pau arrived in 08 , he dropped 30 him , drew fouls ... ) and to be in foul trouble ...  Pau can face up and shoot the midrange J AND it will keep Dwight outside the paint then Kobe and LO can cut to the basket .... LO is at his best against defenders which are very slow to move laterally , Hedo and Lewis cannot defend to save their life ...
Plus , if you start Bynum , the spacing on offense is not good and Howard will be able to anchor the paint


If you start Bynum , he will pick up 2 fouls very early and it will result in being forced of putting the 5 I just described so why not save Bynum off the bench and feed him on the post against Gorat ... who ? lol

Lakers in 5..
Burn them fouls, M'Benga... Burn Burn.
(Need to throw all the big bodies at Howard, he alone can't do it).

L.A. is not the one-man team the casual fan who only watches games here and there thinks.
Those of us who have the privilege to see the Lakers play on a regular know that Kobe has a great team w/him.
(w/The benefit of having the Kobe card to play, he don't need 40+ like the early 2000's but he can if needed)

against Orlando they won't need it.^^
Congrat's to Orlando, But I can already see that Championship ring & Jacksons destiny.
