Orlando's gonna be a powerhouse - i think they're actually better than the Lakers right now but youth and inexperience has let two wins get away from them. A healthy Jameer Nelson might have made a big difference as well.

That's true of just about every series that isn't a sweep. There are always those moments when things can go either way. That said though Lakers are just better and that is big part of why things have gone their way in the close games.
Orlando is very good but this always happens to teams. Usually they have to make it to the finals and lose before breaking through all the way. One big problem for Orlando though is Lewis' contract. Going to make it very hard to resign Hedo.
Series isn't over though. I said 4-2 Lakers from the start. If they can pull themselves back together they should be able to get another win and send it back to LA.
