Uh-oh. That’s all I’ve got to say to the Orlando after their loss last night. I have mentioned team’s under current Lakers coach Phil Jackson are undefeated, haven’t I?

Well our next game (Sunday, 8 p.m. ET ABC), I predict will go the Magic’s way. I think Magic center Dwight Howard will overcome the double and triple teams and score at will. As we saw on a play in the second quarter of Game 1 with 3:47 remaining, Dwight Howard spun away from a double team, and drew a foul from Lakers forward Pau Gasol. And hit his free throws.

That’s what I love to see.

And I’ve got kind of an easy way the Magic can drop points on the Lakers with the triple on Howard. Have a guy cut down the lane for a pass. Or kick it to Magic guard Courtney Lee (favorite player, because of his toughness) for the 3.

Kobe……..Kobe……… how do you stop him? His name’s Rashard Lewis. The Magic forward has long arms ( And if you watced the game last night on ABC, the announcers showed how well defended the shots were, so long arms are helpful, and how close the Magic defenders hands were to the ball and Kobe woud get it off and nail it.) and quickness.

If the Magic do this they should win.

“We’ve just got to keep our foot on the gas and keep our head down and just keep on working,” Bryant said.

That’s all the Lakers have to do. Keep their foot on the gas. This Kobe’s race.

Good, they win. Bad, they lose.
