Dwight Howard will foul out of this game or will miss 50 percent of his free throws.

good insight 3ballbomber  



Im starting to think the points is the way to go.  No matter who you think will win, I think this game will come down to the wire. 

Lakers are not a great defensive team and Orlando has proved that no deficit is too large to overcome.  I think even if Lakers are up by 10 to 15 points, Orlando will not be fazed. 

I do think Lakers will own the paint though.  I can see a lot of dishing and cutting to the rim by Odom and Gasol.  Orlando dosen't have an inside presence (besides DHow of course).  Lewis and Turkeyglu like to sit behind the arc and let Howard take people one-on-one and dish if the double-team comes.

The 3 point shooting will keep Orlando balanced and in the game (in the 4th quarter, where it counts most)

I think Farmar and Vujacic will be the x-factor.  neither of these guys have got it going in the playoffs.  If they suddenly show up and start draining outside shots off the bench, it might the end of Orlando.

Still so much to think about.  Dont fall victim to this thinking:  "Well the Lakers will probably/most likely win so I'll lay the -6. 

Remember even if Lakers are up by 10 with less than a minute left, thats still only Lakers +4.  A couple of baskets and freethrows could moose your bet instantly. 

Remember this IS the NBA.


Im starting to see a 103-101 Final (similar to previous meetings).  Doesn't matter who has what score, point is I think it's gonna be a close one.

Hey BEE my brotha.

its finally here, you have been kind of hot so it pains me to say I like Orlando here + 8  buying 2

reason, well the Lakers have lost the last 2 game ones in the playoffs and it will take them some time to adjust to Orlandos game

Gasol said it best, they are unconventional and you really dont see teams like them with their crazy style, no way to prepare for it

Orlando is hotter than Denver and they have no pressure.
Key to me is how they call fouls on howard..

Lakers by 7 is a win win for both of us...
Enjoy the game tonight and GL

Looks like reverse line movement is in play with the total.

Public on over and line went down 1/2 point.
