For the Lakers: Kobe ( love his talent and desire) For Orlando: DH12 (best NBA center) and Lewis (Native Son) I guess 2 to one wins.
Rafer was far from one of my favorites (at least production wise) but stuck up for teammates and I never questioned his effort. My respect grew for him when he subtley called out T-Mac without making a game out of it or disrespecting his teammate by not revealing names. He's a class act, by not condoning the trade, but accepting it and being positive and a good sport. Glad he's in the Finals. Personally, I loved the head slap... Eddie House just needs to shut it and I probably would have done the same thing. Amazing Rafer got suspended while Kobe didn't get crap.
im a huge magic hater but the more and more i think about it... the more and more i think the magic have a solid chance to win it. it'll be magic 3pointers vs lakers team ball or kobe ball. if kobe's supporting cast shows up, it's no contest, lakers take it. if it's just the kobe show, magic will make this series short. with the way the lakers have been playing in these playoffs, i dont know which teamw ill show up.
the question was not "Who do you THINK will win", it was "Who do you WANT to win" with that said, Im hoping for a Magic win...for reasons that DoD and tcabb already said.
I'm just hoping there will be more of this........ <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IuwSJUkYqwQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IuwSJUkYqwQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Rashard is still our homeboy. The biggest bonehead of the Rockets all time: His hometown's team, the Houston Rockets, declined to select Lewis with any of their three first-round picks and instead chose Michael Dickerson, Mirsad Türkcan and Bryce Drew, much to the disappointment of Lewis and a large majority of Rockets fans. wikki
People rooting for Kobe and/or the Lakers are sickening. I've always hated the Yankees and the Lakers. That will never change.
