NBA Finals: Make your pick
YEP SEPERATE THREAD. Pick who you think is going to win. Interesting matchup. Lakers are better, but Orlando presents hella matchup problems....
SO IS IT KOBE?! OR DWIGHT?! Keep in mind. Predict who you think is gonna win. Not who you want to win. |

I really like Orlando. Like I can't hate them like I would hate the Celtics in the Finals for example. Not one player on Orlando I dislike. MAYBE turkoglu from his Sac-town days... but not really anymore.

Think it's gonna be the Lakers, unless Lamar Odom can't cover Rashad Lewis. Kobe & Dwight are both gonna go off, so I think it may come down to the Odom/Lewis match up.
I want the Magic to win though, can't stand the Lakers. I really don't know how anyone can root for Sasha Vujacic, it blows my mind. ![]() ![]() |

I hate chosing the lakers, but I gotta do it. They are simply the better team.
It is finally time for Kobe to win one without shaq. |

Orlando. Lakers cannot handle the inside game of the Magic. Magic already proved they could handle a great scorer in the Eastern Conference Finals. However, it will be 6 or 7 games

I honestly don't know enough about the NBA to analyze this matchup but I just kinda know that the Lakers are gonna win.

They handled LeBron? It was his teammates who didn't play well, mostly because Mo Williams and Delonte West are smaller guards (6'0 or 6'1) and had issues when bigger defenders like Pietrus (6'6), Turkoglu (6'9) & Lee (6'5) where on them. Lakers won't have a problem with that. Like I said Howard is definitely gonna go off I think, but I dunno if it'll be enough. I really think the X factor is the Lewis/Odom match up.

I think the Lakers should start Odom and put Gasol at the 5. No one is stopping Howard anway (especially Bynum) so might as well force Howard to cover Gasol so Pau can draw him out on D with his jump shooting ability.
No idea who is gonna guard Kobe, Pietrus when he's in there but who's gonna start off on him? Turkoglu? That's a tough match-up... |

Odom is not starting. Pau is starting. It will be Pau on Lewis

Should bump Bynum out of the line-up, he's trash. Guess it doesn't really matter though, when it comes down to crunch time Odom is gonna be on the court and Bynum is going to be on the bench.

Only one that can body up KINDA with Howard. Gasol would get eaten alive.

Howard's getting 25 & 20 most likely either way, plus Bynum is gonna get in foul trouble trying to guard him. Curious to see what happens if both Bynum and Gasol got into foul trouble, who do they usually bring off the bench?

Lost in the 2nd round to the Magic. One of their top players was out for the entire playoffs, feel pretty confident in saying they would have made the Finals if he wasn't out.

Wasn't able to get a post in before Game 1, but I'm still thinking Lakers in 6. Orlando's not going to shoot 30% the entire series.
