LA’s depth, length on perimeter defense, and scoring prowess are too much for the Magic to handle. Looked like LA in 6 going in, but after tonight I’ve upgraded to LA in 5.

Shit, he may not even be back if they win.

*Hangs head in shame and grabs bottle of whiskey*

(in slurred speech) “and for the record, Magic in 6″

Hahaha, I can’t stop saying bro.

Next time someone picks the Magic, look them in the eyes and say, “C’mon bro.”

Lakers in 6.

There’s not even a real lake within 60 miles of L.A. Quit jocking Minneapolis’ style.

I can hardly call a team that “statistically” averages 3 more rebounds a game, dominating.
If you look at the Laker/Nugget series game 3, Carmelo starts off on fire then gets into early foul trouble and has to sit out til late in the 4th where he was not able to get started again. Game 4 when the Nuggets dominated the Lakers, Carmelo twists his ankle in the 1st and isnt a factor for the rest of the game. His game 6 performance was mediocre for what he has proven he can do. I don’t think the pressure was anymore severe than game one or two. The other person to blame for the slack was Billups (especially game 6) when he just didnt shoot the ball well.
And as far as height advantages go, the Lakers have been playing shorter opponents like Orlando. I mean NeNe, Martin- Artest , (after they lose Yao) Chuck Hayes btw who is only 6’6.

Any fool willing to think Orlando can actually win, put your money where your mouth is. Straight bets – I got the Lakers winning. Who want it? (pause)
