Very nice. Ariza stepped up big time and the other players performed well.

However, let's speculate on some what if's...
Courtney Lee made that layup in Game 2
Howard hits a free throw in Game 4

That would've made the series 3-2 Magic.

Good show, Lakers... but YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH CLEVELAND NEXT YEAR! Mark my words!

Seriously, though. Good job by the Lakers, and Kobe was awesome as usual.

Don't think it'll be a problem if this goes through.

People will forever remember this night as the night when Adam Morrison's Lakers vanquished JJ Redick's Magic 4-1 in dominating fashion. That question on the timeless Sports Illustrated cover has now been answered.

oh wow, why didn't they just trade Wally Szczerbiak? that guy is worthless, they would have shaq this season instead of next.

GG. What a boring NBA Final. Glad I didn't watch it.

The western quarter and semi-finals are a lot more interesting.

So all it take for the magic to win by four points is shoot 63% from the field and have Kobe play like Nick Anderson.

Lakers in five.

Let's not forget about Boston. They did a good amount of damage this year without KG and Powe, no backup center, and playing Scalabrine significant minutes at times. If their frontcourt can stay healthy and they make some moves to get some more depth on the roster, the Celtics will remain a strong contender.

Will Bosh go to Cleveland? I heard he wants out from Toronto. Cavs have significant amount of cash if they get rid of Wally and Big Ben.

I think they will make a move for a major player otherwise it would be hard to keep Lebron in Cavs.

Unfortunately, it's always easier in theory than in practice. Great contenders fall back to mediocrity more often than they bounce back. Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, Mavericks could have won it all and now they range from bottom feeders to 2nd round beat downs. Chris Paul's hornets, AI's post-finals sixers, garnett's timberwolves, the heat, if you don't have year in year out stacked teams, injuries and player movement regress you back to the norm so fast.

massive talent influxes in championship teams
shaq's lakers: you get shaq and kobe in quick succession.
spurs: injured robinson->duncan. (last two rings are hard to explain though)
pistons: exception, maybe
heat: shaq got traded
celtics: kg, ray allen
lakers: pau gasol for kwame brown
Talent does not necessarily come in the year of
the big 3 have fallen a bit from all star level

Very Good Job !

I'm so happy for Pau Gasol, the first Spanish player to win the ring !
Taking the time to have simple fun everyday is a must for a happy life.
