Lets look at the magic options. Dwight,White Jesus,Shard, Pietrus when he is hot. Skip when he actually plays decent.

Now lets look at LA. Pau, Bynum,LO,Trev,Kobe, Jordan and SB have been solid all playoffs. And if sasha and d-fish finally get their jumpers straight. They cant be left open at all.
You forgot Lee for the Magic. Gortat has also been solid. Alston should do fairly well against Fish.

Bynum shouldn't be considered for the Lakers lol. And like you said "if" for Sasha and Fisher. Brown is also a stretch.

Pau wont be guarding him. It will be Bynum. And pau can draw d12 out the paint. Pau is a excellent mid range shooter for a big.
I never said he was going too.

And I'm sure Shard or Hedo would guard Pau..... Both being almost as tall and more athletic.

SVG isn't a very good coach IMO lol.
Would of probably been fired if the Magic didn't advance this far.

Pau would work them in the post. And if the play LO at the 3 with pau and bynum in. ORL would have trouble. Brown isnt really a if. He has played solid ball all the playoffs. He was a key in LA winning game 5.

TYO you act like the Lakers are the best defensive team in the league lol.

And I honestly don't know why you'd be rooting for LA. Shouldn't you root for Orlando since they beat your 76ers?

Because me and many people probably don't want to see the Lakers win yet another title. And I hate Kobe.

Let the Magic get theirs.

x2. The Lakers have won too much, I want to see an underdog win it once again.

0 titles, making their 2nd finals appearance, underdog

It's easy to pick who most will be cheering for

Wow. Game 1 of the Stanley Cup was very early, as in tonight, and now Game 1 of the NBA Finals isn`t for a long time.
