Re: How come nobody talks about how easy the 2009 Lakers playoff run was?
Not understanding why people call that Magic team weak.
They beat Boston and Cleveland back to back.
Prime Dwight surrounded by elite shooters, plus Hedo with some of the best playmaking seen in the 21st century.

And they didn't have Jameer Nelson either during those wins, who was playing his best basketball before the injury.
IIRC, some thought the Magic would win the chip because of what happened in the head to head regular season matchup. I think it would have been a lot closer in the Finals if Nelson played at full strength

Man, they must've gotten super lucky!
Like the best team in the league losing their best player and STILL only losing to the Magic in 7? Something like that?
