lakers or magic?

[pico]

lakers 4-0

[djeffectz]

Denver Nuggets

[frostno98]

If they meet the Lakers, it will at least go six. Given the inconsistency of the Lakers you can't trust them sweeping anyone. I think Denver can beat them 4-1.

[alukk]

Lakers 4-1

[Tsoprano]

Wow Pico.

Series would go at least 6 games

A sweep? No chance.

[stevenb]

Lakers but need to beat Denvers first.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

IMO whoimever comes out of the West will stomp the Magic. However the 2-3-2 Finals format gives it a better chance of going 6 games.

[RICHIE801]

If Orlando shot as well against LA as they did Cle, THEY(ORLANDO) WOULD WIN THE SERIES.

[jasont]

Lmao @ paul gasol or andrew bynum trying to guard dwight howard, and NO big off the bench. The Magic would be licking their chops if they played the Lakers over the more talented Nuggets.

[Irish Jet]

I'd lean towards the Lakers but my guess is it would take 7 games for either team.

[daggerkobe]

Lakers 0-2 vs. Magic this season. 2-0 vs. Cavs.

[jasont]

I'd lean towards the Lakers but my guess is it would take 7 games for either team.

The lakers would probably be an overwhelming favorite, giving much value to the magic. Who knows, there is a decent chance the lakers might not be there.

No doubt.

The Magic's value has been ridiculous in the Cavs series. They've came through in every game. It almost seems like they're due for a let down.

Yes, I would love to hedge my +550 series bet, but the +220 on the Cavs seems like throwing money away.

From how the rest of the Lakers players is playing right now, I think you meant to ask: Kobe or Magic?

[X-Rated]

If Nuggets & Magic, I would say Magic 4-2.

[Irish Jet]

You're exactly right, but it's sad because the Lakers really should have a lot more than Kobe right now, at least in terms of talent.

The Lakers need to get the ball to Gasol more, at least they need to in the Denver series. He's been very effective when they've utilized him in the right ways. Not sure how effective he'd be going up against Howard though.

Bynum really doesn't look like the player he was pre-injury. He's shown flashes but he's been incredibly dissapointing.

Their bench and their role player are so inconsistent (Even when things are going well) it's not even funny.

[jasont]

If Nuggets & Magic, I would say Magic 4-2.

I think the Magic have a better shot at beating the Lakers than the Nuggets. Denver matches up pretty well versus the Magic and have favorable matchups throughout the floor.

[rick_213]

Orlando in 7...three point shooters are better...better post player/dominant center...and Lakers will run out of steam if you know what i mean.

[NBA Hero]

cavs shooters will have difficulty with odom, ariza, kobe. they can double up on howard while he is spinning and even get an offensive foul.

kobe will like that cause nobody will bang him up.

howard can get his 30pts against bynum, pau but shooters, not as consistent.

no sweep, all hard earned victory.

west finals will make them tough. orl is getting soft with what the cavs giving them

[jasont]

west finals will make them tough. orl is getting soft with what the cavs giving them

and what's that...last second buzzer beaters virtually every game. The Magic are working hard for their wins, they just make it look easy.

[ChuteBoxe]

Lakers win the 1st three, going up 3-0, lose game 4 in Orlando, making it 3-1, and win the series in 5 at home in Los Angeles. Taking the series 4-1.

There is no way they win the first 2 at home. They've given up a loss to both houston and denver and would atleast lose 1 to Orlando, who is a great road team. BTW its 2-3-2, so this logic is flawed.

[alukk]

if it is denver magic, i would say denver 4-0

we are talking about the series. thats why orl was tough at the start cause bos made them work.

lak-nug series is definitely rough compared to the east. even players knows how banged up they are.

on cavs-orl series. only james is hobbling with the exception of accidental elbow on mo

the tougher your path to the finals, players themselves know they are the rightful champ to be.

i think Orlando will take it all .. awesome future in effect +2000

[milwaukee mike]

gl to all, and to you paco on that 20-1.

IF (big if) orlando/lakers are in the finals i think the lakers would be the pick. -200 or so?

[pico]

4-1 is pretty close to a sweep

[jjgold]

Good call Pico

[NBA Hero]

orl didnt put up a fight. no wonder ratings have been bad and season ticket holders prefer to miss watching games
