    In all honesty, Orlando was never really a contender.

    DD, I'll be the baron of the 7%. :p

    I would say Lakers are very lucky to win the championship.
    Magic's stupidness.
    Dever's low basketball IQ.
    Rockets's health.
    Celtic's KG absence.

    That was anything but an epic series. Very ho hum feel to it...

    I'm not even trying to say the Lakers walked all over them, because they didn't. The Magic arguably outplayed them for 3 out of those 5 games.

    It was just a boring and anti-climatic series for some reason.

    Did I hear them say that Orlando was the first team to face three 60-win teams in the playoffs?

    I am def going with the "Rockets extended the Lakers farther than anyone so therefore are 2nd best team in the league"

    Screw anyone who disagrees with me.

    On another note - Kobe getting this ring is about as sickening as KG getting his last year.

    Hopefully next year a star who would be humble and proud of the team more than himself will emerge with a title and a ring next year.

    Nudge nudge Yao Ming wink wink.

    Yeah, man! I agree. They are so lucky that they have players like Bryant, Gasol, Odom, and Bynum too! I wish they weren't always so lucky!

    The Magic need to resign Rafer and trade Jameer. If Jameer didn't try to make a comeback, Rafer would have led the Magic to a sweep.

    no. Phoenix and Orlando did not reach 60.

    The key. I think it's safe to say that Bynum is not the differnce maker that everyone was claiming him to be.

    Celtics with a healthy KG would have taken the Lakers out second year in a row.

    Man, talk about an unimpressive run. Injured Jazz, injured Rockets, dumb Nuggets, injured Magic.

    Not that it matters in the end to Laker Fan though. A ring is still a ring. Congrats to the Laker fans out there.
