ORLANDO -- Magic point guard Jameer Nelson has heard all the talk about the Lakers/Cavaliers NBA Finals that everyone already is anticipating with eight weeks left in the regular season.

Who wouldn't like to see Kobe Bryant face off against LeBron James -- the last two NBA Most Valuable Players and clearly the two best players in the game today?

How great would it be to see icon Shaquille O'Neal try to land his fifth NBA title with his third different team, doing it at the expense of his former team and despised rival?

It could be the most intriguing NBA series in many years, the dream matchup on the biggest stage, a television bonanza. But it's the one Nelson thinks his team will derail -- again.

"You look at the commercials now, and you'd think Cleveland and the Lakers already were in the championship [series]. I guess that's what the fans want to see,'' Nelson said Sunday after his Magic beat the Cavs, 101-95. "But I think we're here to spoil it for the fans.''
