Parehas tayo. I was hoping for a Magic – Lakers rematch para makaganti naman ang Magic. Seems like Lakers ang binigyan ng chance na makaganti sa Boston na nanalo nung 2008.

It will be a good series.. kahit pa Magic ang pumasok hindi makakaganti yun. hindi nla kaya ang lakers kc wala silang leadership. khit pa puro all star at magagaling ang players mo dapat meron prin isa na nagdadala. parang yung Boston mron cla Big 3 pero ang nagdadala c Paul Pierce. I go for Lakers this time the black mamba won’t let the title slip away again. Kobe will do his work for sure.
