Matchups:

PG- Fisher vs Alston: Fish has experience, Alston will be quicker. This position really comes down to the play of Nelson(if he can play or not)
EDGE: PUSH

SG- Kobe vs Lee: I dont need to put anything here
EDGE: LAKERS

SF- Ariza vs Turk: Ariza will have to D him up on the perimeter. Turk is having his best season ever
EDGE: MAGIC

PF- Gasol vs Lewis: This one is very interesting. Gasol will be forced to play defense on the perimeter. But Gasol will dominate Lewis down low and will definitely outrebound him. Both could be offensive explosions waiting to happen
EDGE: LAKERS

C- Bynum vs Dwight: Bynum is as long as any center in the NBA, he could give Howard some problems but ultimately Dwight is playing like one of the great centers of all time.
EDGE: MAGIC

Coach- Zen Master vs Master of Panic: Nuff said
EDGE: LAKERS (9 shiny rings)

Bench- Odom, Farmar, Brown, Walton, Powell vs. Pietrus, Johnson, Gortat
EDGE: LAKERS


PREDICTION: LAKERS in 6

Fisher has looked pretty bad almost every time i've seen him play this year. I'm sure even the Lakers would rather have Alston on their team

Magic definitely get the edge in the PG department.

Should be an interesting series. I could see the Magic taking it in 6...or the Lakers completely running away with it. Hmmm...
