This is a really good matchup .... The Lakers have experience and a superstar in Kobe needing a victory.
The Magic have the "Nobody believes in us" factor and have a superstar in the making in Dwight Howard.
That being said the series comes down to one player and its not Howard or Bryant. That man is Lamar Odom. If Odom can give the Lakers double doubles and show up every game they have this in the bag because he can handle Rashard Lewis low post game and guard Hedo Turkoglu on the perimeter (something the Cavs could NOT do).
That being said I have seen Odom play a lot (first as a Clipper and now as a Laker). he has a habit of being very erratic. He tends to dissapear in big games (except in the Denver series) and always can count on him to choke in a big spot.
That being said. You never ignore the "nobody doesnt believe in us" factor. Magic in 6
