NBA Finals 2009: Lakers vs Magic

[MikeMan™]

That's a misconception because the media hasn't yet given enough hype to the Magic players to be noticed in comparison to the Cavs league leading win season.

Yes , I kinda' noticed that, the Media Overhyped LeBron and The Cavs that's why we're underestimating what those Orlando dudes can do .

i would like the commentators to be Andy Jao and Quinito Henson (he's always there,i think he's never gonna be replaced since he's the most popular commentator here in the philippines ) as for my vote i predict magic in 7 but if they do get jameer back i vote for Magic in 5 or 6 cause i really think the magic is the best team right now and i don't see anyone stopping them with or without jameer they'r still a complete team!

Good thing if Chino Trinidad won't cover the Philippine broadcast of the Finals, he is one biased fellow.

[C-77]

aw hell naw please can somebody kill Chino Trinidad does this guy know anything good? no he's an asshole please somebody kill him when he's gonna be broadcasting I'll try listening only to his partner whoever it is

[BigGameJames]

Lakers better win cause I will have a seizure and die if they make it to the finals and blow it AGAIN which will no doubt lead to another shitty Shaq rap in the offseason!!! On the bright side if the Magic lose, Stan "porno stache" Van Gundy can go back to making adult movies in the valley. Lakers in six is the prediction fellas F the rest!

He's also a very enthusiastic announcer with a flair for the very, very, very obvious. If blind people were listening to him, they would probably tell him to shut up already.

[diddy]

i hope Magic win the title, Dwight can do a lot of damage for Lakers, but Orlando would have no answer for Kobe tho. and lakers have a deeper bench, but steel, i'm cheering fot the underdogs

Who knows. He covered the Finals last year, right?

[C-77]

yeah he did covered last year and acted like an asshole,man i wish it would'nt be him

[gyezra]

For CS9 here in the Philippines viewers, I believe it would be Mico Halili and Quinito Henson that will do the play by play

Please gawd no. Mico is boring, even in the radio, and Quinito is a know-it-all who doesn't really know it all.
I would rather have the "old" guys like Andy Jao or Ed Picson.

Quinito Henson always cover the Finals for Solar Sports. So expect him to cover again. Andy Jao would be a good choice.

I heard it would be Katrina Halili and Jayden Koh

[Oakrhum]

No, it won't be Jayden Koh.

I think it depends upon who's listening, last year I felt that he's biased but I believe he's rooting for Boston (Chino Trinidad mentioned in an interview before that he's a Ray Allen fan). But I'm a fan of Chino Trinidad. I envy him when he interviewed Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny.

So for the haters, beware because Mico Halili is a big Lakers fan, too good Cleveland didn't made it because Quinito is a self proclaimd LeBron James fan. (and a silent Kobe hater).

Lia Cruz and Mica Abesamis . . .

this is only a problem if you only watch the nba through the media and highlights, if you actually pay attention to the games and watch more than what tnt or espn shows then you know who can do what and how players outside of the light have been performing

[puttincomputers]

i think lee may be able to shut down kobe

Are you Serious?

well at least he will agravate kobe more than jones did! i smell a kobe t fest.

Agreed, that's how it is here.

[BIG GREEN]

MAgic in 6 is my prediction. If it goes to 7 games then its lakers.

Somewhat I have to agree with you guys altho...

I also have to admit I didn't know Magic would be this good, to be able to reach the finals this year. To be honest, Magic wasn't really impressive during the season if it meant any. Also in the playoffs, they weren't that impressive untill ECF. Even KG-less Celtics proved to be better than Nelson-less Magic during the regular season and taking Magic to game 7 in the playoffs. So I still have doubts in Magic, actually quite a bit, especially since they are going against the Lakers.

Next year regular season should be really interesting in east with Boston, Cleveland, and Magic. I still think Boston is the top then Cleveland then 3rd in Magic, It's just that Magic was able to create match up problem against CLE while they played against KG less Celtics.

[Dan's Brain]

I'm hoping that it's the Lakers in 7, given that I'll be in Los Angeles the day after the decisive 7th game, and would love to arrive in L.A. amidst the hoopla of another Lakers championship. But I think they'll end the series a couple of days earlier in Orlando for game 6.

So my heart says Lakers in 7.
Head says Lakers in 6.

I think with a healthy, match-ready Jameer Nelson, then the Magic would win this same matchup next year. But this year, it's the Lakers' turn.

That depends on Cleveland's chances to get some FA this year, and will Orlando be able to keep Turkoglu. In my opinion, Chicago might be up there with these teams next year, if they make the right moves. But it's going to be fun anyway.

But Derrick Rose's Future ain't sure .

[dopeboy]

What do you mean with that?
If Chicago keeps Gordon or Tyrus Thomas and Deng is healthy, they will be very good next year.

[Jugs]

my money is on lakers
but i want the magic to win.

But the Magic swept the Lakers during the season, as much as I want the Lakers to win, the reality is that the Lakers has no one who can guard Dwight full time. And the Lakers are not that consistent when guarding perimeter players.

I think Ariza will play a key role in this match-up, he will have to limit Turkuglo's passing, and hopefully help choke the Magic's offense.

[PiksS]

I'm so glad that Magic finally got till the finals....now they just have to beat the Lakers....fuck them!
