Rashard Lewis has become a different player throughout this year's playoffs. He is possibly the biggest threat on the Magic. He has so many ways he can play you and once he figures out how you defend, he exploits your weaknesses. Like I said, he can just stand outside the 3 Point line and knock shots from there all day or take it in and score or post up on you. He is very effective at all of the above. I wouldn't be so confident in Ariza stopping him.
Like the guy above me said, even if they some how find a way to contain Lewis, you still have to worry about Turk, Pietrus and Alston who have all been big gamers throughout the playoffs. Orlando just has too many weapons to attack you with. They can all hit 3's, drive to the hole and hit jumpers with ease... and on top of that, they have Dwight dominating the paint on you. They have great ball movement too. It's a nightmare trying to defend them, just ask the top ranked defense Cavs. The Magic had them running in circles and gasping for air all series long. They will definitely wear your defense down.
