Today is the day folksThe '09 Finals will be remembered as the clash of the two titans: the two most exceptional and dominant players in the game, head-and-shoulders above their peers, awesome and unstoppable talents. A pair of close rivals and future HOFers, leading their teams in an epic battle for the biggest prize in basketball. red*ck_Morrison_rookies.jpgLET'S GET IT

Orlando will come back
Indeed.Sunday next game?
Yup Sunday, I love how many people seem to be watching these play-offs they have actually been so sick this year. And when i say they will come back i just don't think it will be a blow-out, they will lose with dignity (No LeBron)

Lakers left it late to hit their stride as a team (latter half of the Denver series), but that was defo championship form last night. Orlando are playing Kobe the same way they played Lebron (let the star get theirs, and try to lock down everyone else), but with the superior supporting cast/actual sentient coach it's not as effective. Kobe's bottom line of 40 points off 34 shots isn't necessarily unacceptable to Orlando, but the ease in which he was able to get good looks wasStill, LA won the game with defence, not with Kobe's volume scoring. They bawsed the inside - Dwight is superhuman, but even he can't overcome the combined attentions of Gasol, Odom, Bynum. He grabbed his share of boards, but six FGA's shows you how well he was contained offensively. When Pao and Lamar play like that, the Lakers are damn near unbeatableAnd when Orlando clang up the place with their shooting they have no hope.. not just Turkoglu and Lewis, but Alston, Lee, Pietrus.. everybody left their jumpers in the locker room. Lakers have the length and lateral quickness to put up strong perimeter D, but the Magic were slow to rotate the ball, were static, had poor shot selection and didn't find Dwight enough. Shard and Hedo won't shoot 23% all series long though, especially in Orlando, so like Q said, Lakers fans shouldn't count on blowouts every night.Time for both sides to make their adjustmentsBring on Game 22nav7yg.gif

Magic's FG% last night was 29%, that is just horrible. Not even possible that they will shoot like that for the rest of the series. If the Lakers carry on D'ing up Howard in the paint and keep him from scoring and keep getting those offensive fouls they will do extremely well.Bynum is such a goof btw, guy needs to stay out of foul trouble.
