NBA Finals

OK, it's going to be the Lakers and the Magic in the NBA Finals. My prediction? Lakers in 6 (sorry, Lola).

Yeah, the Magic beat the Lakers twice during the regular season. But that was with Jameer Nelson who will most likely be out during the series (or very rusty otherwise).

I just don't see how a team that lives and dies by the 3-pointer can win with this much pressure. Also, while Dwight Howard is a great player, Cleveland didn't have one guy, let alone 3 like the Lakers, to match up with him.

When the Lakers faced Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu on a regular basis they didn't seem to cause them too much trouble, so I don't know why the would now.

Finally, I think the Magic should be much more worried about how they are going to matchup with Gasol and Kobe.

In unrelated news, UC Irvine got bounced in the first round of the NCAA baseball tourney. Bummer for the Anteaters.
