If the Los Angeles Lakers play basketball like they did in the 4th quarter of game five and the entire forty-eight minutes of game six then it's all over but the shouting. The Eastern Conference All-Stars, let alone the Orlando Magic or Cleveland Cavaliers, wouldn't beat the Lakers more than once in a seven game series if Kobe & Co. shoot like they did last night (57% from the floor and 100% from the line).      

I was almost certain that the series would go seven games.  However, only J.R. Smith decided to show up for the Nuggets last night.  Congrats to the Lakers.  Now it's just a matter of whether King James can continue to single-handedly defeat the Magic.  It should be a very entertaining game six later today...
