Stun you?? WOW, Orlando beat the Lakers in BOTH of their regular season meetings.

Orlando is a dangerous team with a dominate center and dangerous three point shooting.. Can Gasol really guard Howard effectively? When they try putting two people on Howard thats going to leave shooters like Lewis,Pietrus and Turkoglu wide open for threes..


Lakers really aren't a three point shooting team, and if Orlando gets going in that department the Lakers might find it hard to keep up.

"Turkoglu" this is the guy that can make it no fun for the Lakers, but remember, they just handled a 3-point team in Denver....

But Denver didn't have the best Center in the NBA.. Howard garners attention that leaves other guys wide open for three point shots..

dont you guys notice how Pietrus and Turk are always shooting wide open 3's? Every series, if those shots fall it makes Orlando a dangerous team.

Re: Lakers -5.5 Game 1

it would stun me...

The Lakers have more weapons, experience and play better Defense...

and most importantly - the Lakers DON'T have an IDIOT as their HC

Stan Van was worth at least 5 points a game more than The Black Hole on the Cavs' bench - not gonna be the case here

Line will close higher...

Why do u believe the 2-3-2 favors Orlando?

Although there is no mathematical edge in what format the games
are played assume equal teams A and B where A has a better record
in the regular season and is every so slightly better than team B.

There is only one way that the team that plays at home FIRST is going to play more home games. Series gotta go 7 games. Only one way in which the early visitors are going to play more home games, gotta go 5 games. 4 and 6 are a wash.

If you can say there are more 7 game series than 5 game series, then we have a HCA. Otherwise not.
