I disagree. The thing about the Magic dispatching the Cavs so easily is they are custom built to be the antithesis to Cleveland, that is, larger three point shooting dynamos which Clevelands quick but still smaller team is unable to get in the faces of to block effectively. Why do you think Orlando shot so freaking many threes that series? Because it was working. LA will not have the defensive trouble that the Caves had against the Magic however because they have size in the arc that Cleveland lacks.
Lakers in 6, though I wish it otherwise.
