Western Finals Champs will win it all vs Magics.

I say probably not. With all the wide open shots Orlando be giving to Cleveland, they won't stand a chance against Denver or LA, whose has plenty of players capable of nailing an opened three pointer. Both Denver or LA inside game will also be too much for Orlando. If Howard sits, who's going to protect the paint against a Gasol, Bynum, Nene, Martin, those teams will eat them alive.

Lakers will win it all

they have been my pick since June of last year (when I lost with them against the celtics...)

I am impressed by Denver though... Denver was low on my list coming in to the post season... (in terms of heart and desire/ability to win when it counts)

Lakers or Nuggets will probably take it all.

Completely forgotten to leave that part out when I changed the original thread title which was "Can Orlando beat Denver or LA".

You have to be smoking something. There is absolutely no way either team can stop dwight howard (you cant push him around like the nuggets are gasol), not to mention they have battie and gortat on the bench. The Magic will give any Western Conference team matchup problems, and I'll take +300 or better on the Magic series any day.

nobody can stop howard but his shooters can be. ariza or melo on turk. thats a mismatch. kenyon or birdman or odom on lewis, no way lewis can use his penetrating skills cause he doesnt use the upper body to make seperation distance.

alston vs farmar or chauncey another mismatch. lee, pietrus vs kobe.

so who has the most mismatch?

You have to realize, they will not be playing 1 vs 1. The Magic have impeccable ball movement and neither one of these teams are defensive juggernauts (both play worse team defense than the Cavs). BTW, If they don't double team dwight, he'll just burn them like he did the Cavs in OT and lmao @ the mention of farmar.
