The most important person for the Magic this series is Rafer Alston. If he can continue the post season tradition of opposing pg’s torching Derek Fisher, he’ll put pressure on the Lakers defense to adjust.

Pietrus was a player before this year. I’m sure no one remembers, but when the Warriors fell out of the playoffs last year it was because Pietrus was hurt for the final 15 to 20 games

Mickael P. has got the game of a young, French Stephen Jackson, which is a good thing.

Defending doesn’t mean shutting down or stopping. It means making the other team work or detering them form completing there overall objective. Cavs lose, so they didn’t reach their objective.

Mickael Pietrus made LeBron work and he didn’t just foul out. He made LeBron work and Orlando sucked Cavs into thinking that LeBron on 5 was the way to go. If Kobe plays 1-5 like LeBron did against Orlando LA will lose. Lakers are too talented to not share the ball.

Pietrus is the prototypical game changer build and skill. Not the focus or confidence, but he has talent. He should start, because LA doesn’t have a notable back up 2 that is going to out play Lee or even JJ. Shannon’s play becomes major in that regard.

Mickael will have an opportunity to reclaim his starting position moving for next season. If he makes Kobe pay for drifting around the court it only helps Orlando.

I want to see how Kobe attacks him and of course how he and the Magic react/adjust.

Can’t wait…

@20 Oh I cant wait bro’

But the Lakers did cruise through alot of tough opponents ( see experts Utah predictions, and also they pwned the ” best team in the West ” in Denver…lol ) and were lackadaisical vs. a dismantled Houston squad. That means nothing come NBA Final time ( ITS FINALS TIME )! Orlando wasnt a lock to lose to the Cavs on many experts radar. Their far from an inferior team in comparison to the Cavs.

Sleep on the Magic some more, fools.

The Lakers were SUPPOSED to run through a Rockets team without Yao Ming.

The Magic were SUPPOSED to bow down to a much superior Cavs team.

Yall know what happened.

Magic in 6. Enjoy dk.
