The one team that has the personnel to match up with Orlando is the Lakers (and a Garnett lead Celtics). The match ups that gave Cleveland fits with can be handled with the Lakers bigs. They have possible answers at every position. Any combination of Kobe, Walton, Ariza and Odom can guard Leiws, Lee, Pietrus and Turkoglu. Howard can and mostly likely will dominate Gusol and or Buynum, but that ok, it is the Magic's 3pt shooting that is the killer.
And the Lakers will not be out coached, at Mike Brown was.
