PrintOffer your thoughts on Game 1 ... whatever you want to talk about. But above all ... who is going to win tonight?
It's obviously important for Orlando to split these first two games. Game 1 is usually the easiest to steal, so tonight should be almost a "must win" for Orlando in my opinion. We've seen all the, "Phil Jackson is 23,568-0 when he wins game one" stats - so if Orlando wants to take this they'll need an inspired performance from Dwight Howard and Company tonight.
Don't fool yourselves and think Kobe wont have his team fired up. With his place in NBA History at stake (0-2 in the Finals without Shaq if they lose) Kobe will be gunning for this title and it all starts tonight.

I can't wait to see what happens when Pau has to guard Rashard Lewis on the perimeter ...
Should be an interesting floor spread for L.A. there and on the other end … how can Lewis stick with Pau down low?

I’m curious…you rooting for Orlando or LA? All people have been telling me is that they want LA to win so that Denver got beat by the best. As for me, I think that’s bullshit. I will never root for the Lakers and I can’t wait to see Orlando kick their ass.

There is the "moral victory" thing ...
But how important is that? Not important to me.
When I play NBA Live ‘09 … I like to shoot the 3 ball and throw down some power dunks … that’s basically what Orlando does and their style is sort of exciting. I don’t take anything away from the Lakers as they have a great team, but I’m a sucker for the underdog and wouldn’t mind seeing Orlando pull it off.
Plus that’ll make L.A. even hungrier next season and could set up a great playoff series w/ Denver if it worked out that way …

I'd be rooting for the Magic
whether or not LA went through the Nugs. Don’t like Kobe. Don’t like Gasol. Don’t like Vujacic. And overall Howard seems to be a pretty likable superstar.

Anyone else watching...?
What a great story Nelson coming back is, he’s just kicking sasha’s ass up and down the court.
Well that was a fun series.
Should we start the discussions on ESPN about whether or not Kobe is as good as MJ tonight or tomorrow?

my thoughts are...
the Nuggets blew it against the Lakers, they could of won the title this year. The Lakers are gonna waltz to a championship.
