I voted for the Magic. Why? Because I hope for the best. :o

I really don't know how they plan to contain Kobe though.

I want Orlando to win... not because I live in orlando but I like going for the underdog.

The team is still full of very fresh players would be great for them to get a title under them so early in their careers.

Still over 8 minutes left. With the Magic's outside game, this is not over, but it does look it.

Well, the Magic didn't play very well.

Good defense overall, and they played with energy all around.

Howard needs to have a better game because v/s taller guys, he just doesn't have the moves. It's all power. I do expect them to give him better looks in the next game.

And I would seriously consider putting Reddick or Nelson into the game instead of Alston.

Alston has had about 4 bad games, with 1 hot streaky shooting night.

Kobe took a few too many forced shots in the 4th, but overall he kept his composure. I reckon he was aiming to get the 40 point monkey off his back in the finals. I expect him to be a little more balanced as the series proceeds.

Can the Magic win? I think they can. But the Lakers do have the speed and length to keep them off balance. First quarter had a lot of weakness for the Lakers but they adjusted and the Magic, playing very well in the first quarter, just didn't adjust very well.

I wonder if the inclusion of Nelson threw them off balance a little bit offensively?

Game 3 on tonight :)

I am expecting another close one. If the Lakers can clean up their defensive schemes, this might be another blowout. Ditto if the Magic guards (Alston, Nelson) can start knocking down some 3's and gain some confidence.

Possibly one of the weirdest games I have ever seen.

When was the last time you saw a team shoot almost 70% for most of the game, 20% better than the other team and win by a basket?

:eek:

Kobe had a really bad last 3/4ths of the game. His mind appeared to be elsewhere.

If nothing else, we have a series :)
