Lakers in Five..you heard it here!

Predictions on the NBA finals starting tonight are all over the charts.
Some Laker hopefuls say a 4 game sweep. Most experienced prognosticators say it will be a six game series with Los Angeles prevailing over Orlando.
What a lot of folks don’t consider is the changed format for this final match. Two games in Los Angeles; then three games in Orlando and then back to Los Angeles for two..if necessary.
Let me tell you folks it is almost impossible to win three NBA games in a row when you’re on the other guys home court.
But I believe they can win two in Orlando. Big ‘Ol Superman Howard is going to have to go through Bigger ‘Ol Bynum. (Not taller..bigger!) Andrew is going to be the difference in this series. “Superman” is going to pay the price when he goes to the rim. Bynum knows he is the key to changing Orlando’s method of leaving four guys outside the three point line for Dwight Howard to pass to when he is double or tripled teamed.
By keeping Bynum on the bench when he was less than dominating in the playoffs, Phil Jackson has let his young center know – without words – what he’s got to do to become the next Kareem Abdul Jabbar…only a little stronger.
That’s why Ol’ Wilm is telling you to take the Lakers in five.
Impossible….nah.
