I think the Lakers sweep the Magic.
Dwight Howard is the only player that is better than his counter-part (Andrew Bynum). Bynum is big enough to cause problems for Howard, but the only way Bynum can stay effective is if he stays out of foul trouble.

The same way the defended the Nuggets. Cavs don't matchup with the Magic the same way the Lakers do.
Lamar Odom can actually guard Rashard Lewis, unlike Verejao, Wallace, Ilgaukas, etc.

It will be interesting to watch, and the magic isnt unbeatable lol, the celtics just took them to a game 7 without there superstar KG and role player powe, so the lakers may very well take this in 5 or 6 if derek fisher and odom plays well, we know kobe is going to play well, he always does, THE TRUE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE ALWAYS DOES,

Don't forget about Trevor Ariza. He got the best of his counter-parts Carmelo Anthony & Ron Artest in the past two series. He has been BIG.
Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar, and Sasha Vujacic have come up big as well off the bench.

i will take the magic, there rolling right now

The Magic caused serious match-up problems with Cleveland and LeBron didn't have any help in games 1,2,3,4,6. Los Angeles can defend Howard inside, plus the 3 point shooters. Like someone else said, Lamar Odom can guard Rashard or Turkoglu. I see the Lakers either sweeping the Magic or winning in 5. Orlando's best bet is to let Kobe get all of his points and try to shoot every shot because the Lakers are a LOT weaker when Kobe scores more. They are a much better team when he scores 20-25 and gets everyone else involved. I would rather Orlando win though.

Yeah he deserved to go home....He played horrible last night...Scoreless in 2 quarters....and Mo williams and West showed up last night....But you cant say that that game was called a little one sided...I mean the foul just before the half, no call....Dwight ran over Mo and no call, Lebron got it stolen...no one around and lewis knocked it out and som how Magic ball????just sayin g the list could go on.....

I assure all of you who think there will be a sweep, there is no way in the world that will happen. That's almost crazy.
I'll take the Magic in 7 games.
We know that Dwight Howard will get his. But, I just don't see how the Lakers will be able to guard the length of Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis. Trevor Ariza is really the only Laker that could handle Lewis or Turkoglu and he can't guard both of them. Still yet, the Lakers have the best closer in the League and that's what will push this series to 7 games.
Mark my words once again, a sweep will NOT happen.

Yea like in game 3 or 4 when dwight blocked lebron at the 3 point line it was a good call? or when lebron clearly runs over pietrus its good calls? lebron had to play last nigth without his 20+ free throws and he choked, mvp doesnt suppost to do that, yea and i think d-wade is AHEAd of both of them but everyone always says kobe and lebron and kobe is in the finals

Odom will not be able to guard either one on the perimeter.

What makes you think that? Lamar Odom is 6'10, the same height as Lewis & Turk are. He is more athletic than Turk & just as good if not better than Lewis.
I think you need to take of those anti-Laker glasses.

Lamar is a big man, Rashard Lewis and Turkoglu are small forwards.
I think you need to jump off that Laker bandwaggon.

I believe the Lakers have the size inside that can compete with Superman.

I agree he cant guard both at once....he can guard one but not both
