Lebron made his teammates better? I gotta double check on that. OK, since now he is watching the Finals at home. I will drop my argument on Lebron vs. Kobe as it is not needed at this time. Lakers will do just fine against the Magic just fine. But I think Phil Jackson will start Lamar in this series in place of Bynum. the inside force of Howard, Hedo and Rashard could post a inside outside threat, Hedo and Rashard are too big to be guarded by small Lakers small forward and too fast for double tower Pau and Bynum. ORL will have advantage of the inside game but the Lakers will have a faster and more efficient outside shooters and faster guards. So the game become will results in mismatch in matchups either inside or outside. Lamar is going to have to bring his A+ games in this series, but Lakers gaurds and small forwards will do the damage to ORL "not so good" guards. The early line has Lakers at -6 is about right it result in split action (49, 51). But misconcept of the ORL beating the CAV make the public thinking they are capable of beating the Lakers makes the early action so evenly split. The lakers will go small in Game 1, it looks to me that they will probable cover the line and if Lamar and Ariza show up and bring their A games as starters I will believe they would cover the first 2 games at home before taking to Central Florida for a pick-them action in game 3. Remeber no one in ORL line up could matchup with Kobe in this series. They will have hard time containing Kobe. I dont expect Pau Gasol will be big in this series, because Howard will keep him in check and leave him in foul trouble most of the games, so Lamar have to be big. Bynum is too slow for Howard.
