NBA Finals

Ok, so Game 1 was a blowout. I still think the Magic will make the series somewhat interesting.

The Lakers are just the better team, no doubt about it. Kobe dropped 40 points last night, and the Lakers were able to hold Superman Dwight Howard to just 12 points. Howard said "the effort just wasn't there."

The effort is going to have to be there, and be there in a big way if the Magic are going to have a chance. They are going to have to shoot lights out the rest of the series, because that's what they're good at.

Ultimately, I think the Lakers win in 6, and that's consevative. It could be 5, and it wouldn't surprise me if it were a sweep.
