| I won't be able to watch this game, but let's bring in the Game 6 attitude vs. Denver and that's it. Closeout people!! |

Lewis will come out super agressive - same way he did in game 3.
I expect Rafer to be agressive in pushing the ball and breaking our d to get in the paint. Fisher can't guard him when he plays like that and he knows it. Plus he will be super motivated after sitting on the bench for the 4th quarter and OT.
Magic will not lie - I actually expect them to have a great shooting night tomorrow and I expect those two guys to be a huge part of that.

| If Orlando hits their free-throws and don't turn the ball over, this will be a dog-fight. |

I expect both teams to come out real hard for this game. I think the lakers will get the break of closer number of foul calls, so we should have our big men in longer Sunday. I think the team is really focused and wants to close out the magic. Look for Howard to be too aggessive and end up getting himself in foul trouble and easily frustrated.

This is the toughest close-out game for this team. Finishing the job in Orlando would be great. Orlando is going to come out with unbelievable energy and drive so this team needs to be ready for that.

Refs will be coming out with an unquenchable thirst to blow their whistles on anything that has purple & gold. Ratings for Game 4 (the one that got away from Stern) were stellar and the league will stop at nothing to giftwrap Game 5 for an undeserving Orlando.
Lakers can play through 8vs5 again, this time with a well-rested Kobe. There will be no stopping the unstoppable, it is unknowable what kind of unstoppableness he will bring. |

Bynum to pick up 4 fouls by the 8 minute mark this time if that happens. That would suck.

Exactly. Especially from a damn message board. Lakers are the 2009 NBA Champions, there, I said it.... |

| They got phone call from Stern with a promise that the Refs already watch tape and learn their mistakes. |

First of all, bookies don't "learn" from anyone. They set their lines based on how the betting is going. That's how they stay in business. They don't make predictions. They take bets and adjust their lines based one how those bets go so they can stay balanced and come out on top.
Secondly, looking at game 4 ( as you point out), the Lakers should expect to get screwed by the refs. And given the fact that the Magic are a damn good team, they have a real good shot at winning eight on five.

Interesting fact about PJ is that when he won a championship, he always won 3 in a row.
Twice with the bulls and 1 with the lakers.
If we'll win this season I believe we can go for 3 championships as well(: |
