Resilience.

One word has been used to describe the Orlando Magic. Resilience. Resilience is defined as "the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress." In other words, regardless of what happened in Game 1, the Magic have the ability to bounce back after their horrible loss to the Lakers. The Lakers should have the same outlook. Kobe had the right idea when asked about the game, he simply said to "forget about it."

Orlando has been down in most of the Playoffs but always found a way to come back. In the first round, Philly up 2-1 in the series, Orlando came back and even closed out the series Howard-less. They faced elimination twice in the 2nd round against the Celtics but won two straight to advance to the Conference Finals. And then ultimately got past the No. 1 seeded Cavs in six games. Which could have easily been a sweep.

Now they look to bounce back after being dominated by the Lakers. I'm pretty sure they won't be held under 30% shooting, and I doubt we'll be able to hold Dwight to just only one basket this time around. I feel that Orlando will come out with great energy and put out a lot of effort.

The Lakers only need to do what they did in Game 1. We can't afford to lose a game. Kobe will not allow it. They need to come out with the same energy and effort they did in the first game. Keep Howard as far from the paint as possible. Close out on the shooters and rotate. But most important they need to control the boards. If we do all that then it doesn't matter how much the Magic have improve the past couple days. If the Lakers play to their potential, they're unbeatable.
