Ok, so I'm a little disappointed Lebron didn't make it the finals. I was really looking forward to seeing him win a title. That being said, let's look at the matchup we do have.
I think LA is going to have the same matchup problem with Dwight Howard that the Cavs had. LA doesn't have a big strong guy down low to bang on Howard. The Gasol/Bynum combo might work better the Big Z/Wallace, but it's still not enough to handle Howard.
That being said, I think LA has two advantages that Cleveland didn't. One, they have better size to guard Turkoglu and Lewis. Expect them to have a much harder time getting shots off this series. Two, the Lakers have a much deeper bench than Cleveland or Orlando. How Odom plays could be one of the bigger issues in the series.
As much as I don't want the Lakers to win, I think it's theirs to lose. Of course, I didn't think Orlando would win either of their last two series either. It should be a good matchup that relies more on how role players fill their roles than on how Howard and Kobe play.
This blog will be about a variety of things in my life. Parenting, Photography, gardening, life, sports, art, crafts, and being awesome. I became a parent in December 2015, and I'm sure that will be evident in my posts. I hope you all enjoy.
