NBA Finals: Orlando vs Los Angeles - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sabretooth · 05-31-2009, 01:39 AM

Who is your pick to win the NBA title?

Honestly do some thinking on this without just picking the favored team.

LA is a strong team that relies on 3 guys to get a majority of the work done, strong and full of talent to the end. They play all 45 min. with all they got, eveytime.

Orlando is an underdog it seams in all this, everytime they go agasint another team, they are favored agaisnt, yet come out on top. Seems to be they pull together from the floor to the bench to get the job done.

I'm still in awe that they've won their deciding games (7 vs celtics and 6 vs cavs) by huge margins.

I would say the magic but I'm thinking lakers in 5
and I don't like either team really, and I don't care if I'm wrong lol

I'm in SoCal, so I have to go with the Lakers. I wish Orlando the best!

GO MAGICS

No brainer. Lakers FTW!!

frownonfun · 05-31-2009, 06:04 PM

well i'm gonna go lakers. i'm a little worried about how LA will defend against howard in the post. i don't think the lakers have anyone that can hang with him on their own and if they double team then they are leaving themselves open to orlando's three point shooters. which seems to be everyone else on the team.

still i think on the offensive end the lakers are a better club. i personally think the nuggets defense was way better than orlando's but the lakers were still able to score.

and then again the magic did beat them both times they played in the regular season so idk... i'm looking forward to a good series anyway.

JumpmanYaris · 05-31-2009, 10:12 PM

All Orlando has to do is kick Kobe in the balls while he jumps for a dunk and get em out of the game with out him they are shit they dont even know what to do GODDD I HATE HIM

SilverBack · 05-31-2009, 11:35 PM

Actually Kobe grew up and finally learned to be a team player. He's no longer like a "one-man team", and that's why the Lakers are gonna take it all this year

johnnypaseo · 06-01-2009, 01:42 AM

Lakers!!!

frownonfun · 06-01-2009, 07:26 PM

yeah kobe is not nearly the ball hog he was at one time. he has matured quite a bit. you can tell he puts more trust in the players around him to do their job. and rightly so as the team around him is pretty solid. no '95-'96 bulls or anything but good. i'm sure phil jackson has had much to do with his improvement as a team player.

Deltasix · 06-01-2009, 11:31 PM

Not sure, but I think Magic will win it. I don't see LA having a player that can post up to Howard, and it'll be interesting if the Magic can get Jameer Neslon back on the floor. If they do, the match up clearly favor Orlando.

Malaya1221 · 06-01-2009, 11:36 PM

although i do not like kobe bryant, i must say that he is the best player in the league right now...if he does not hog the ball...it will be lakers all the way...

YRX · 06-02-2009, 02:48 AM

i was cheering for the magics all the way but to be honest, i think they did so well against the cavs coz they made lebron play like 99% of the game and you could see the pain in his eyes.
i think the lakers have a stronger team and will come out on top unless their players get tired, magic seem to sub players at good times etc and didnt seem to fizzle out at the end of the game like the cavs.
secretly im hoping howard doesnt get fouled out lol i have a feeling he will.

SilverBack · 06-04-2009, 09:00 PM

Game's about to start. It's on now, bitches!

Shroomster · 06-04-2009, 11:33 PM

.....nearly a 30 point lead for almost the entire second half....

SilverBack · 06-05-2009, 12:53 AM

Wow that first game was so close LOL

One more win is all we need
