NBA Finals

They've been 19 times only losing 3 times.

It's very much possible for Orlando Magic to make it to the NBA finals. It would be tough though because they will match up against the Boston Celtics who defeated the top seed Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2nd round. It would be experience versus youth.

The Los Angeles Lakers as of 2009, its their 30th NBA playoff appearance as well as nba finals appearance, gunning for their 15th overall title.

1906 - The Chicago White Sox over the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs won 116 games that season and still hold the MLB record for season's winning percentage. The White Sox won 93 games.

1924 - The Washington Nationals over the New York Giants. The Giants were in their fourth consecutive World Series. The perenially losing Nats were in their first ever. Two bad hop singles and a catcher stepping in his face mask and dropping a foul ball allowed the Nats to win Game 7.

1969 - The New York Mets over the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles won 109 games that season.

The 2010 NBA finals hasn't started yet. The teams who will win the conference finals are the one who will advance. It could be between Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic or Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns.
