Who will win the NBA Finals?

Postby farkusfarko on Sat May 30, 2009 8:25 pm

Hate to say it, but it will probably be L.A. They're better at most positions and if they can play tough defensively they're in a good position to win.

However, I never would have given the Magic a chance to beat the Cavs, and I was skeptical that they would beat Boston. Maybe they'll surprise me again. L.A. suffers size mismatches at a couple of positions, and no one in the playoffs has been able to guard Howard adequately--I don't see that Gasol and Bynum will have any more luck.

I hope the Magic win, but my prediction is L.A. in 6 games.

EDIT: Apparently the Magic swept the season series. My prediction stands, but that's encouraging for people like me who want to see the Magic win.

The Magic need to have a heckuva series to win in 7.
My guess is L.A in 6 but I hope Dwight Howard and his team explodes.
GO MAGIC!

Lets try to remember a few key things Farcusfarko. If that is your real name. You put Bynum on Howard, and Gasol is going to have some serious problems guarding either Hedo, or Rashard. So you start Odom at the 4 and bump Gasol up to 5. He'll have some major problems with Howard. Normally counting on the 3 to win games is a bad idea. But they have slashers, scorers, many many three point shooters. And the best big man and best rebounder down low to clean up. They're playing pretty good defense. You keep counting out the Magic like you did with Cleveland and Boston. I'll bet you feel stupid now. The Magic have something that the Lakers dont, they have passion. The Lakers are the best team in the league. And they know it. Which could end up bad for them. And you Mr. Laker...I mean farcusfarko.

so Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Phil Jackson won 4 rings together because they have "no passion". FAIL!
