Los Angeles Lakers - 2009 NBA Champions

[event_staff_9]

nobody thought Orlando could get this far; it was supposed to be a Cavs/Lakers matchup

the Lakers didn't do anything special by their standards; they have the best roster in the league, they should be in the finals

It's like when Jason Kidd won before facing the Lakers or Spurs can't remember.

They know it's as far as they're going to make it so they might as well celebrate something before they get demolished.

Man, I really think the Magic will cause the Lakers some huuge problems with their 3 point shooting for example, the Lakers have to guard them very very good. Also Dwight Howard will be dominating as hell under the basket and Kobe will of course be KObe, straight on fire every game.

Lakers will win in 7 games, but I wanna say this, I hate that some people say this is gonna be a boring series because I think Orlando will give L.A. more trouble than the Cavs. I don't think the Cavs would even win a game.

I am predicting Lakers to win in 6 games vs the Magic. Lakers will be ready heading into the finals, they have the experience and the hunger.

Conference titles doesn't mean anything.

The Lakers know that, Orlando will.

I'm thinking that bum Bynum won't do much in the series yet again. He'll be in foul trouble, making Gasol on Dwight and Odom on Lewis -- makes sense anyway.

The PG matchup will be fun -- 2 bums slugging it out :party:

LAkers, idk, or in 6 or in 7, but than earlier the better!

Yeah sorta.... You mean like how the 7'3 Ilgauskas bothered Dwight? :bulgy-eyes:

[LamarMatic]

damn! during the regular season I remember being one of the many saying that Lakers will lose to Orlando if they meet in Finals...And looks like I'm the only one who still feels like it. I still think that Cavaliers would be a better match-up.
