KEY MATCHUP

LeBron vs Kobe


This is the matchup we've been waiting to see for years... Quite possibly Kobe's final Season and LeBron, fresh off his 6th league MVP Award, his "eliteness" has never been higher... Athletically LeBron is light years ahead of Kobe at this stage in their Careers, but Kobe's 6 NBA Championship Rings speak volumes about the type of winner this guy is... His burning desire to "BE" Michael Jordan, and now, be "BETTER" than Michael Jordan and win his 7th NBA Title is what will drive him in this series... Will it matter vs a younger, more talented Cavaliers team?

KEY MATCHUP

Dwight Howard vs Andy Varejao and Cavs Centers


Dwight will have the edge athletically with whoever the Cavaliers put against him, however, the Depth of the Cavs frontline will be a challenge, even for Dwight Howard... Anderson Varejeo, Tyson Chander, Tristan Thompson and Rambo Hightower will all get their shot at stopping Dwight in the series... The Cavs strategy will to throw bodies at Dwight in waves, they will have 24 fouls per game to use against Dwight if need be...

All in all I think this series is going to be more competitive than it may look on Paper... The Cavaliers are young, but they have a few guys that have been there before in LeBron James, Tony Allen and Tyson Chandler... The Lakers on the other hand have Kobe Bryant, who's got 6 rings and Dwight Howard who's got 1... I think this series is going to be very good, but I think the Cavaliers, from top to bottom are just more talented and should win in 6 games.
