I chose Lakers in 6 cause thats what i want, prolly not whats gonna happen.

The games were close - 3 point win and 6 point win. Bryant dropped in 40 the first game, and a 28 point triple double the next game.
I think it's been proven that Jameer isn't needed, Alston has done a fine job in covering that hole. It also looks as if Howard will be undergoing a larger role, and if the Lakers look to double as much as the Cavaliers did then expect the Magic to get a lot of open shots and a lot of 3 pointers which will make it infinitely harder for the Lakers.
