NBA 2008-2009 !!!!!!!!!!!

No one on the Magic's squad can guard Kobe, so look for a big series from him, also they are going to be helping a lot on him and leaving other Laker players open for jumpshots, they need to capitalize on that. Lamar and Pau have to play big every night for us to win this series and if Ariza and Fish can throw in a handful of threes, that should offset their 3-Point shooting. Should be a good series though!

Howards gonna be a tough guard for the Lakers if they double that opens up one of the Magics very good 3 point shooters if the go one on one Howard will kill them in the post.

Like ill said though the Magic have no one for Kobe, should be a great series.

Howard is a monster, the Lakers big men need to step up and try to keep him of the blocks and the boards. He is also prone to foul trouble, so if the Lakers can take the ball to the hoop they can exploit that.

Howard will get his double double.. The question will be who on the Magic will be hot from behind the 3 point line.. Lakers arent the best at guarding the 3..

I dont think the Magic match up well with the Lakers at all....

They need to stop double teaming no name players and stay at home with their man. I don't know how many times they send a player to double the likes of Kenyon Martin and leave someone wide open on the perimeter. On the flipside for Orlando, "Live by the three, die by the three", it's hard for me to imagine that they will stay that hot, we'll see though.

Ariza will be a HUGE X-Factor that I guarantee Orlando will not include in their defensive plan.

this is an interesting matchup. best small player vs one of the best big players. its going to come down to everyone else I think and which team plays as well as they did in the last series.

wonder if Jameer Nelson coming back will help or hurt current chemistry on the Magic.

how so? i know nobody matches up against kobe, but orlando has a very underrated bench. pietrus comes off and plays very well for them on both ends, and nelson will prolly come in a play 12-15 minutes a game, and their back up center is very underrated as well. courtney lee also has played very good all playoff long. im really going to look at how many minutes howard will get a game and if the lakers bigs can stay out of foul trouble cause theres no way bynum will even be able to match howard as far as quickness goes and thats what bynum struggles with, he has slow feet and gasol just doesnt have the strength.

maybe under-rated bench against East teams. now theyre playing the big boys of the west. a whole new animal if you ask me.
