Its cliche, but experience is huge. The Lakers were there last year, and it DOES make a difference. Not to mention, the Lakers obviously want it more. The Lakers look like their goal is to win a championship, the Magic look like their goal is to have fun. Both great goals, but only one results in a title. The Magic arent bad at all, but I think you will see Laker fans make the Magic out to be the Celtics from last year...to make this finals victory seem epic lol

no need to do that, we'll see the Celtics in the finals next year, 'cause no one is denying KG from returning to the finals, and King James doesn't have the team to be Boston at all. Lakers will return to the finals, unless Denver pulls a HUGE move, so I expect to see Lakers/Celtics for the 12th time in NBA history, and expect that to be way better than last year.

Next year is a new year, and there should be plenty of moves in the offseason. No telling what happens.
Meho:
The first half looked like they were playing the first game of the season. That Christmas game with Boston shits on all the final games so far when it comes to the "seriousness" of the game. It's a boring finale imo, yes the results may have been close and we had 2 OT's but to me it looks like every time the Lakers want to score, they score. Orlando on the other hand look unexperienced, so many turnovers, not to mention that Howard is laughing all the time. Like they're happy just to be in the finals.

The difference is, Kobe always has a sense of when shit is urgent. Last nights game wasn't as urgent (ala the games we lost vs Houston & Denver). If you really think Orlando has a chance in this series, then you're jokin yourself. Kobe's performance in the 1st quarter was amazing...we all expected him to keep it up, but he stopped shooting...Kobe may be amazing, but there's only a certain extent to how amazing a player can be. EVERYONE fucks up. Even Magic and MJ fucked up...but since u wanna bring up LeBron, the difference in this season is that LeBron fucked up when it truly mattered...PeACe

"Kobe doesn't pull off late-game heroics this time"-
No, he didn't again, but D-FISH did.
The difference between Lebron and Kobe is that Kobe has had clutch players who make plays when he turns the ball over, gets swatted, or str8 up misses. All great players need a clutch player beside them, at least one. EVERYONE does indeed fuck up, but the most successful players get backed up when needed most. Kobe was 11-31 and again didn't play all that great in the 4th or OT...

what you dont seem to realize is that without kobe on the court, none of these players can do what they do...the fact that kobe draws so much attention is what gets these other players the open looks and the nice feeds...thats obvious shit right there.. kobe is way more than just a scorer, and the fact that you dont see this is mind-boggling.

most teams are afraid to spend money because of the economy. Rumor is that teams are getting money for the NBA to stay afloat. David Stern isn't commenting on it, but knows that currently the state of the NBA is in a critical time. Of course the NBA will get through it, but we might see a couple of year were the rich (Lakers, Celtics) get richer, and the poor break up. Most expect this Magic team to break up this year because of the money people are asking.
