Who do you think will win and why?

I know one thing for sure, I'll be rooting for Orlando.

If Magic shoots well, and Dwight stays out of foul trouble,I have a hard time seeing them lose. But those are two pretty big IFs.

I just think they match up so well...Gasol/Howard, Odom/Lewis, Ariza/Hedo, Kobe/Lee, Fisher/alston...Orlando's ability to run two great perimeter defenders in Lee and Pietrus at Kobe is gonna be the biggest key I think...Make him work the whole game...He might not be tired in game one or two but come game 6 and 7 we'll see if he still has legs

Lakers baby! i think theyll win it in 6 games just like last series. howard will be a tough matchup, but if the whole team keeps playing like the last two games they should be able to win it all.

I'll be routing for the Lakers but I like Orlando too! I see Lakers in six.

Interesting match-up, and Orlando has been playing great BB I still can't believe they beat the CAVS and in the way they did!

GO LAKERS!
GO DUCKS!! WTD!

Very entertaining series so far. Looks like my prediction of Lakers in 6 might come true.

Not really.. Magic could very well be up 3-1 right now.

If Lee hit that lay up in game 2, and if Dwight hit a FT, Magic would have been cruising.

Unfortunately, basketball is a game of inches, and the Magic are not closing!

Yeah, the Lakers have been very fortunate, to put it mildly. This series has more to do with the Magic pretty much giving a couple games away (this last game, at least, certainly falls into that category), rather than the Lakers displaying significant superiority. At least that is the view from my anti-Lakers perspective. :twisted:

I am barely interested in the series now after that choke job. Unbelievable.

Yeah, they know how to finish games. That's for sure.

I doubt Magic will come back, but it'd be nice if they could take game 5 and make this series more interesting!
