Are the magic good enough?
Can the Magic beat the Lakers? The Magic have a few advantages on their sides. Like the small and power forward and center spot. Bynum will have trouble by himself covering Dwight Howard. And I don't even know how Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol can cover Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu. Derek Fisher will have problems with Rafer Alston speed. As we look back to the second round of the NBA playoffs. Derek Fisher could not contain Aaron Brooks due to the lack of speed comparison of Brooks and Fisher. Brooks was too quick for Fisher and that is why Brooks averaged around 18 points a game. Rafer Alston and that much different. Rafer loves to run around the screens and shoot that 3 pointer. Fisher has had many problems getting around those screens. The matchup that is really going to hurt the Magic is the Bryant and Lee matchup. Lee is just a rookie and were talking about a rook guarding one of the best players in the NBA besides LeBron James. To me the Orlando Magic have the matchup edge. They are most likely going to double team Kobe Bryant and that should leave a wide open man on the floor for the Lakers. Lets just hope that the Lakers team can support Bryant unlike the Cavaliers who had trouble shooting as a team without James.
