honestly, i don't think the magic can hit the 3-pt shot as consistently as they have been. something's gotta give...law of averages, right? yes, hedo and rashard will always be the spacers, but i doubt rafer alston is going to tear up the lakers the way jameer did in the regular season. though this talk of jameer returning is definitely intriguing...
with all that said, you can't count out the magic. their rather unique build is matchup hell for the rest of the nba, and knowing the lakers ineptitude at guarding the 3-pt line and containing other point guards, it could be tough for the purple and gold. but depthwise, i think the lakers have the edge, hence they take it in 7.
