NBA Finals Picks Game #2 Sun. June 7
Great performance by the Magic in Game 1. Phenomenal shooting. Good defense against Kobe. Just one of the better all around performances in the postseason. Now can someone please tell me how the Magic are going to win this series?
I am choosing to stay away from Game 2, though, because the Magic were too good from the field in the first game.
Opinion:
L.A. LAKERS -6.5
Playoff Record: 23-24
3* (Punchouts) 1-4
2* 14-9
1* 8-11
ML Plays: 24-6 (+18.23 units)
Series Plays: 6-2 (+2.65 units)
Opinions: 14-19-1

Nice call on the Lakers in Game 1 JD. Looked like the Lakers will run away with this one, but I don't think so. Orlando shot 29.9% from the field!!! There's no way that will continue -- I have to give the Lakers some credit for defending the perimeter but Alston and Lewis missed plenty of wide open 3s in that 2nd half.
That said, I still can't lay the wood for the Magic given that pathetic performance. I am going to play the Total -- Easy cover in game 1 wit the under as we had 31 pts to spare. The line has dropped down to 202 and I like the over this time. I also think Orlando comes out firing so I think the 1H is a safe pla as well:
1H Over 101
Over 202 for the game

JD.why are you hating man? Get over it, Cleveland is a one man show. Tito hit it on the head, Orlando couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. Orlando deserves to be here and you'll see a better effort in Game 2. . Good luck fellas, the city of Cleveland needs counseling and therapy. So does Vitamin Water and witness!
If your banging on me, keep gloating! I'm doing fine in the post season. But for real, you sound like Mike Freeman. Tito is absolutely right. I looked it up and the Magic haven't shot that bad ALL FUCKING SEASON. Kobe was unstoppable and if the Magic don't react better tonight it could be a short series. I think you will see a much better effort out of the Magic tonight from the perimeter and defending Kobe. Maybe I'm biased because I'm pullin for the dog in this one, LA looked phenomenal in Game 1 but Orlando has had success with the Lakers and has bounced back time and time again in this series. I see a much better effort tonight.
Oh yeah, is Dwight going to be that bad two games in a row? I don't see it. Jameer will get more time and that should help open up Pietrus and the bombers. Let's see how it goes down! One win does not make a series my friend.
2** on Orlando +6 1/2
