Wow. None of you hardcore Laker fans think your team can whip the Magic by more than 7 points at the Staples Center?

I think they can, don't think they will.

I think the Magic are very susceptible to a blow out at LA. The Lakers must get in the face of the Magic as they are launching their endless supply of 3-balls. If they don't fall then Howard alone can't beat them. The Magic will also be in deep trouble if Howard were to get saddled with early foul trouble(NBA style). No 3's falling and Howard on the sideline is a recipe for a beat down.

Happy Bday Bim!!

I just see the Lakers coming out flat. I can see a game 2 Laker blowout though.

Bynum will match up against Howard to start, but will rotate frequently with Gasol. Bynum usually gets in foul trouble early, but he will be able to somewhat contain Howard. Nobody on the Magic can stop Kobe, and Arriza will D up Turkoglu, who won't be able to do much against Arriza. The Lakers will go at Howard early and often, force him into foul trouble, and the Magic will rely purely on 3 point shooting, which will be their ultimiate demise. I would love to see the Magic win, but i just don't see it happening, especially with the Lakers having homecourt.
:cool:

My all-in on the Lakers to win will cover the bet on the over, but I won't have much more than I started with... :bang: :D
