Do you believe in MAGIC???

Lakers are winning the 'ship 3-1 but don't hand them the ring yet; the series isn't over. From what I remember it's the first to win 4 games not 3. By default I am technically a Clippers fan because I use to work for them so naturally I tend to go against the Lakers. Most people say I should cheer for the Lakers because I live on the West Coast but I can't seem to get into it. The Lakers have turned into a fad like skinny jeans and hoop earrings and well let's face it, I'm a sucker for the underdog anyway (not to mention Dwight Howard is pretty handsome, I know typical girl answer :) ) .

This is why I love sports....I'm not a Laker Hater, I'm a Hope Chaser. I love to see the underdog come through and change the game. It was Davidson during March Madness 2008 that took the world by storm by beating Georgetown and I think everyone felt a little sad they lost to Kansas in the Elite 8 because everyone secretly likes the underdog. Or when my alma mater Fresno State won the College World Series after being one of the lowest ranked teams in the playoffs last year.

Rooting for the Orlando Magic at this point in the game is rooting for HOPE, rooting for the DREAM, the CHANCE, the OPPORTUNITY. Game 5 in Orlando on Sunday will be a battle no doubt, if Magic wins this one they have to remain victorious in LA; which is hard to do, but I believe in Magic....DO YOU?
