Will it be Lakers vs. Cavs, or Lakers vs. Magic?

Although the refs made bad calls in favor of the nuggets during the first few games of the series, the Lakers took down the Nuggets in game 6. All Laker guys worked together to win. I am very happy about this. The Lakers are great--they can play. The best thing, however, is they aren't overly egotistical. The fans are, but the players aren't. That is why they are able to achieve what they have achieved. That is my piece on that. Now, for the question: Lakers vs. Cavs or Lakers vs. Magic? I am going to say, Lakers vs. Magic. The Magic have guys that can play and show up every game to play. They are also very humble. The Cavs have a guy that can play and shows up every game to play. However, they also have guys that play and show up every so often to play.I think L. James has a right to feel as though he deserves to be in the final; however, every other player doesn't deserve to be there this year. I think the other players need to be and will be beat in this series, so that next year they realize they have to show up mentally and physically for every game. Let's face it, the cavs wouldn't be this far without Lebron. What do you think? Lakers vs. Cavs or Lakers vs. Magic?

Since everyone else on the Cleveland team is playing no where close to they are in the regular season, im going to have to go with Lakers vs Magic. LBJ is playing god-like, but his supporting cast isn't even out of the sewer yet. Mikael Pietrus is singe handedly outscoring the Cavs bench, thats pretty bad.

I want to see my Cavs Win!!!! Cleveland badly deserves a good win. I really hope that they go all the way this time. It has been so long since a Cleveland team has won anything. Lebron is our only hope! LOL

Thanks for the Comment. Yes,LBJ is the only hope for the Cavs. and that is why I don't think they'll win. LBJ def. deserves to be in the finals, but the cavs--not so much. No disrespect. Trust me, I understand the fan. Thanks again for the comment, Vanessa Rochea

I am seriously wishing that it's Lakers vs. Cavs. LBJ deserves to be in the Finals, but we can't discount the fact that Orlando has really good teamwork & you can expect that every person in this team can deliver.

I think LBJ deserves to be in the finals, but I think he needs to pick another team. Personally, I think the Magic deserve to be there because as you said, "Every person in this [on] this team can deliver." Not to mention, we know they will show up every game. With the cavs, we know LBJ will show up every game, but other players like Gibson show up every now and then. Thanks so much for the comment.

Magic and Lakers will be going to the finals, despite James being by far, the best player in the league. I believe that the Lakers will take care of the Magic however. Cavs lack height, rebounding and blocking, so they were unable to handle Howard. The Lakers have Bynum, Odom, and Gasol, although they are obviously not as good defensively as Howard, they are far better than the Cavs in that department. I think the Magic deserve to be in the finals as much as anyone, especially after losing Jameer Nelson to injuries (props to Orlando for picking up Alston). I myself was cheering for Denver, lead by Billips, but I guess the Lakers are just too good, that is another reason why I think they're going all the way.

Thanks for the comment. I agree w/you minus the Denever comment. I think the Lakers will beat the Magic. This will be one of the best finals because everyone on both teams can play and they usually show up every game.
