Seems like almost everyone except with the Kobe/Lakers avatars are going the Magic side. Let's see.

You're right. I think there are many L.A. haters here. And so I am one of them.

As much as I love the Lakers, they are going to lose, and Kobe is finally going to the Bulls

Jordan is better though.

They're the most hated team in the world.

Haha, that just make sense. I just don't know why I hate L.A.

Real life is not a story book....lebron proved that lastnight. With that said....I say the magic sweep in 2.5 games. It could be 2 if jameer nelson comes back. Magic have my full support of a fair and balanced nba fan.

I wouldn't mind Dwight winning it all, but I think the Lakers have the edge in this series. Not only they got a homecourt advantage, but sizes in almost every positions to go along with experience. It seems to me that last year's failure in the Finals is why people are doubting the Lakers here, but that experience and hunger I think are going to make the Lakers Champions this time.

Jameer Nelson I don't believe him to be in game condition. I can see how much he wants to participate and be a part of could-be-a-champion team though.

Correction, the Celtics are.

You're supposed to make the thread after the matchup is finalized

Picking the Lakers has worked out for me so far, so I'm going with them in six. Of course, I always seem to end up jinxing someone at some point.

You have to give the Magic their due though and I wouldn't be stunned if they win but seeing as though the Lakers have home court and assuming they're saving their best for last, I have a tough time picking against them even in the face of the Magic taking both regular season games; after all, they wouldn't be the first team to lose both regular season games to their eventual NBA Finals opponent but end up winning the championship all the same.

Lakers in 7 the Magic are gonna crumble in the pressure

WHY DO U HATE THE LAKERS????

Jameer said that he will most probably play in the finals

Howard going to Houston in 2010 (Shaq went to LA after 1995' disaster)

LeBron's going to New York

Aw hell naw, the jinx hasn't worked so far...so don't you dare turn that shit on right now.

Pietrus needs to at least continue his current level of play & contain Kobe.

How do you stop the unstoppable?
You're sometimes good for a laugh X.


lol at the lolcat giving the finger.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Maybe the Sweeptime is now for the Magic-Team, I hope it so

My tip is 4-0 for the Orlando Magic Go Magic Go

[dopeboy]

why do you think pietrus can contain kobe if he couldn't contain lebron? and kobe is lot more skilled, he won't use the same play 10 times in a row..

[puttincomputers]

to lebron!

hey Bynum!

You guys are terrible at being funny with cats. You're just short of ruining threads with them.

Because Kobe isn't a lightning fast 275-pound beast who drives to the basket at will. And he's mostly a jump shooter these days. Pietrus and Lee can stay with him far easier, they were just speed bumps against LeBron.

[Jackal]

You don't stop Kobe Bryant, you just sort of try to not look shocked. Kobe faced the best defense he would face in the playoffs after being played by Battier.

Fixed.
