Lakers vs Magic NBA FINALS!!!

Magic don't want a title obviously. Can't even remember the last time they won a NBA final.

Might as well pass up that 25 bucks.

Yup, its pretty much over now. Even if the Magic do win the next game, they're just gonna go back to L.A. and lose by 55.

I still want them to win at home, it's not really fun without the Staples Center crowd.

Probably because they haven't

.

Their only franchise NBA finals series game win was Game 3.

Too bad they got swept by the 72-10 record.

I want them to earn their second finals win so that the Lakers will win with a blowout at the Staples Center.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals; elimination game for Orlando, statement game for L.A. Final score: Lakers 99, Magic 86.

Significance: Kobe finally gets elusive ring no° 4. You know, the one he failed to get last year, and the one he definitely should have won in '04. He also hoists the Larry O'Brien trophy without O'Neal, and wins his first Finals MVP award (this last one's been a long-time coming).

Phil Jackson records milestone, surpassing Red Auerbach's 9 NBA Championships. Making him the only Head Coach with 10 (Red still holds the all-time record for Championships with one team; 9).

At the beginning of next season, the city of Los Angeles and the Laker franchise get to hang up Banner 15, three from tying the Celtics' 18.

What are your thoughts on all of this? And looking back, what are some realizations you made throughout the season? What are some predictions that you foresee for next season? And is Kobe better than LeBron (you didn't think I'd leave this one out did you

)?

Let the debate begin...
