And then there were two. Kobe vs. LeBron Dwight. The Lakers vs. The Magic for the Larry O’Brien trophy. Both teams won in convincing fashion to seal the deal. You’d be hard pressed to find too many people who had this matchup a few weeks ago. Shoot… Pat only had the Cavs not making it after consulting with Vivica, Ms. Cleo & Dionne Warwick about his beloved Celtics. On the bright side David Stern & Phil Knight won’t have to hear conspiracy theories on the MVPuppets all summer long.
Once again the standings remained the same, as Pat holds onto a slim lead. Everyone’s Here’s how everything broke down (Correct team – 1 point. Correct length – 1/2 point):
Patrick M. – 14 points
MZ – 12 1/2 points
S. Cadet – 12 1/2 points
Jesse H. – 10 1/2 points

GO MAGIC!!! Dwight and Gortat are gonna beat up on Gasol and Bynum. Don’t even bring up Odom’s puddy soft ass (pause). He’s underachieved since he was drafted. Watch how we handle business.
Magic in 6.
Masters of Panic © TWisM in 7
^ the master of panic is my x-factor, if he can get the magic not just Howard to play defense then this’ll be the best 7game finals you’ve seen in awhile.
Magic in 7
Marmar you’re luck you obviously nailed the first round or so pretty thoroughly…
Lake Show in 6 Period ^Sorry to post really
Conspiracy Theory: Stern wanted LeBron to lose cause he knew if they got to the finals he wouldn’t leave Cleveland in 10, and now he’ll go to NYC.
Sigh……..we still have non-believers. Get it together all

Lakers in 5, inexperience will rear it’s ugly head for the Magic.
For those to say that the Magic will win a game 7 at Staples center against Kobe… Not gonna happen.
The biggest question will be, can the magic continue to knockdown the threes. That’s what beat the Lebron’s the inability to stop or even contest the open shot.
The Kobe’s haven’t really faced a team that knocked down shots on a regular and those that did hit the shots provided won games.
Magic in 5. Yes i said it 5.
Then Nike will run the puppets both working out in the summer and angry neither has the ring for the year.
Im not lucky. The Magic and everyone else are lucky KG didnt come back
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Fact is we are a talented team. Fact is we beat the defending champs on their home court in a game 7. Fact is we beat the Cavs pretty handily when barely anyone gave us a chance. Fact: our own local newspapers (Tampa Tribune & St. Pete Times) barely gave us a front page story when we clinched the East. I love being the underdog even when we have earned everything we’ve gotten.
For those that don’t know we have a winning record against the Lakers, Cavs and Celts over the last 2 years. We are for real.
