The NBA Finals are here and it turned out to be a Disneyland vs. Disney World matchup. Time for Angry Trey to give his thoughts and prediction…



L.A. has the home court advantage in this one, which I always believe is a key in any series, especially in the NBA. It seems to me that it’s a factor more in basketball than any other sport. Orlando on the other hand, is playing their best basketball of the season and is hitting on all cylinders. They also took the season series 2-0.



I have been very impressed with the Magic this postseason. Dwight Howard has been dominating the paint, Mickael Pietrus is ballin out of his mind right now, and did anyone think Hedo Turkoglu was that clutch?? Hedo has made big shot after big shot. The thing I don’t like about Orlando is how they live and die by the three point shot. If their shooters are struggling can Dwight carry the team for multiple games?



As I have said before L.A. is the most talented and deep team in the league but they hadn’t been playing with any consistency. I think they are getting past that, but keep an eye open for it. The most important factor though, is always Kobe Bryant. Kobe has that killer instinct that very few players have and I think that is what makes him great.

Here is a great description/comparison of Kobe and Lebron and it is spot on…

From True Hoop:

Royce Young, Daily Thunder: The thing I see in Kobe is a straight assassin. He's the Travis Bickle of basketball. He's there to finish you, even if your kid is in the other room watching. I don't get that from LeBron. LeBron is a slow cooker -- a guy that needs 48 minutes to beat you. He's absolutely unguardable one-on-one, he can rebound, he can create for teammates and he can man up. But does he have that sense of the moment like Kobe does?



It will be interesting to see how Orlando guards Kobe. I know it will be done by committee, but I wonder if anyone will be able to have success? Look for Courtney Lee and Pietrus to get a lot of the duty.

Angry Trey’s Prediction: Lakers in 7



L.A. having Kobe and the home court gives them the slight advantage. I have it going 7 because I believe Orlando has a really good team and will be able to compete with the Lakers. I just don’t see them pulling it out though.





Here is the tale of the tape for the Disney’s from the Orlando Sentinel:

2 Disneys: Which one is more magical?

Andrea Adelson

It's a question that has perplexed families everywhere: Should they visit Disneyland or Disney World for their family vacation? Let's break down the battle of the Disneys:

History: Disneyland was built first and opened in 1955, so it is the original. Almost everything you see at Disney World is based on Disneyland. Advantage: Disneyland.

What does it offer: Disneyland is smaller and has fewer parks and hotels. Disney World covers over 30,000 acres and includes four theme parks and two water parks, plus more hotel and dining options for families. Advantage: Disney World.

Location: Disneyland is in Anaheim, Calif., so you can take a short drive up I-5 and hang out in super-cool L.A. Disney World was built on swamp lands near Orlando. Advantage: Disneyland.



Intangibles: Because there is more to do and see at Disney World, you can plan an entire family vacation around it. Disneyland might have come first, but isn't bigger better? Advantage: Disney World.
