    the thing is howard can get the ball to draw the doubles. when they front yao, we can't (and usually they can just front yao with one guy).

    and if dwight can't get the ball, he's still ultra active offensively either with offensive boards or putbacks.

    kobe playing like he's never played basketball before. he's already taken 3 jumpshots way off balance instead of just calmly setting up for them like normal, and he's blown two fairly easy inside shots. practically being outplayed by friggin' rafer alston.

    Kobe isn't playing very good, but the lakers still hold on.

    The last series, James was super, but the cavs lost!

    Nelson is really good.

    Good IQ. Good court vision.

    jameer is making rafer looking like a scrub. that's how a true PG plays. if he wasn't injured, orlando most likely would win the finals. but i don't know if he can sustain this.

    did i say magic in 6? i meant 4. if you need anything else to tell you it's their year, jameer nelson miraculously healing from a season-ending injury just in time for the finals should just about do it.

    Doesn't anyone else think Magic have a similar team to ours?

    Yao = Dwight

    Artest = Rashard Lewis (both can hit threes)

    McGrady = Hedo (even way better at scoring and passing when healthy)

    Role Players = Role Players (Great 3 point shooters)

    What do you guys think?
