Los Angeles – Orlando
For many people, Magic done a huge surprise after kicking out the best team in the regular season, leaded by the best player in the regular season too. The reason for that I see mainly in strategic superiority as Orlando has much better coach that Cleveland. Orlando is playing pretty good basketball and they are very tough to defend as they are team copmosed from many great long range shooters and with one very domintaing center in the paint. Stan van Gundy or unrevealed twin of Ron Jeremy
is great coach and I think that this success is mainly because of his great leading of this team.
But, van Gundy will have to beat one of the best coaches that world had ever seen and with his huge experience Phil Jackson will be very high mountine for van Gundy to climb. Lakers are playing the best collective basketball since Kobe and Shaq era started and that is their main power. When we add one of the best players in the history on that team play and biggest coahc of the moddern time + home court advantage, I believe that Lakers will grab the title and will stop Orlando celebrating for the first title in their history. Positive thing for Orlando is that they made huge success with entering into the finals and I think that can be plus for them as they have nothing to lose. Every neutrral basketball fan will be cheering for Orlando as they are very interesting team to watch. Orlando managed to beat Lakers twice this year both at home and away.
Since the beginning of the season, I liked how Lakers are playing and in my previous writeups you can find that they even then were my first favorites for the title and now when they will meet, in my opinion weaker team, team with shorter bench and with lack of experience, I believe that Orlando will burn into the desire to prove themselves and that will fail under the pressure. I have already taken this bet with maximum stakes.
