Finals Preview

The NBA Finals are finally here after what seems like an eternity. As expected, the LA Lakers are representing the West, and as few predicted when the season began, the Orlando Magic are representing the Eastern Conference. The Lakers seem to be the overwhelming favorite in most peoples minds, not mine, despite the fact that Orlando went 2-0 against L.A. this year. Yes, the Lakers have home court, and yes they were here last year, and yes they have Kobe, but they will still have the same problem they had last year, they are not going to be physical enough to match up with the Magic, just as they weren't against the celtics last year. I see this series looking alot like the Lakers series a few years back against the Pistons in Shaq's final year in LA, they will split the first two in LA, and then get swept by the Magic in Orlando and fall 4-1. Kobe will have a great series, just as LeBron did, but it will be his support cast just as the cavs that will cost them. The Magic just have to many unorthodox scorers to contain and it will show in the end.
