NBA Finals: Series Odds

[EaglesLinc]

The Los Angeles Lakers (-260) are favored to win another NBA Championship against the Orlando Magic(+210) in their best of 7 series that starts this Thursday in LA.

Who wins? How Many Games?

My call-LA in 7
(Although I would love to see the Magic pull off the upset)

I think the Lakers get it done. Kobe will lead them to the W

I like the Lakers in six...better inside scoring depth.

Even though I am the biggest Laker Hater, I think if they show up they will win in 6-7. But I am pulling for Orlando all the way.

[EaglesLinc]

Orlando has had an incredible run, but they will finally be over matched in this series. I'm no Laker fan either, but it is what it is.

Given that, I still think the Magic can make it interesting and take this to 7 games,

I am totally pulling for the Magic. I think we will know after game 1 if they have a chance. If Pietrus can shag Kobe and Skippy isnt horrible then it might be OK.

[EaglesLinc]

I agree that game one will be the key to this series. If Orlando can create an early advantage they have a shot.

I just saw a story about how Nelson wants to play in the finals. There hasn't been talk about him in weeks but if he can suit up and contribute that would be huge for the Magic.

Derek Fisher is the definition of washed up.

Just having Nelson back could give the magic a lift. It remains to be seen how effective he can be after the long layoff, but anything he can contribute could help the cause.
