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.

No.
Offensively and defensively the Lakers have outplayed Orlando throughout the season. The stats don't lie.
While Orlando is a good team, the Lakers finally have that synergy that will be tough to beat.
I'm not saying that Howard and crew can't do it, but right now, based on stats, I think the series will end on Sunday.
