Lakers versus Magic. Boo-yah

[drtom2005]

I know Cleveland and L.A. fans are going to say this will be a quick series, but I do not see this way. The Magic have a team very similar to the Spurs in their prime. I think this could go the distance with a possible win either way. I am just happy my team, the Magic, have a chance for the first time in over 10 years.

i see this series going 6-7 there will not be a blow out in any way, if you look i believe that the magic beat the lakers both time's they meet, granted it was without Bynum but right now with Bynum he really isnt a factor anyways so im anxious for the first game Thursday :D

i wont be watching probably. and yes its because im bitter, no problem admitting it. its just too hard to watch the finals i was so sure we would be in.

This should be a very interesting and competitive series. Both teams have depth and size, i'm just hoping our experience carries us for this series. Also, i'm very glad we have the home-court advantage.

Dwight here. Dwight now.

Seriously though, this matchup will present a point of reference for future arguments about who's better between Kobe and LeBron (you know, the kind of argument that makes up 99% of all basketball-related discussion). If the Lakers win, it'll be clear evidence that Kobe is better, because Kobe smacked up Dwight and Dwight smacked up LeBron. Unless of course, the Cavs beat the Lakers in the 09-10 finals, in which case we'll have rock-paper-scissors on our hands. If the Magic win, the Kobe fans and LeBron fans will still be eternally at each other's throats. But one thing will be for sure: Dwight fans will be able shut them all up. Then maybe I can make a new signature banner for myself.
