The LA Lakers and Phil Jackson have significant experience with the Hack-A-Shaq theory and had to find ways to avoid teams taking advantage of it.
Granted Shaq O'neal hit a bit lower percentage of free throws; however, Andrew Bynum is too slowfooted to keep up with Howard and Pau Gasol is going to get into serious foul trouble against him.
Howard has hit about about 59% over the past 3 years and forcing him to shoot alot of free throws down the stretch may be an effective measure.
Additionally, Howard is a bad passer and will be interested in getting off quick passes if he performs poorly at the line. Quick passing from a bad passer will equate to more bad passes and hence for Kobe and Ariza dunks.
Everyone was wrong about the Cavs, but, with Odom having the athleticism to guard either Lewis or Hedo and Ariza to guard the other, the best player on the floor will need to guard offensively weak Courtney Lee and dominate offensively.
Gasol will have a bad series, but, hey, Kobe and Co. could dominate.
On the other hand, if the threes continue to rain, the Magic could win any game they play. With his height, Rashard Lewis may be the most difficult to guard 3 point shooter in the NBA.

cant see Orlando beating the LAL. Orlando had a lucky series against teh cavs but Koby will take charge in the finals
this one all comes down to the refs. if they let howard play, then the magic have a fighting chance. if every time anyone goes near him (or he goes near anyone) they call a foul, then the lakers will dominate, just like they easily handled then nuggets when they were allowed to foul carmelo at ease and nene was relegated to the bench by the refs
