    Hand the trophy to the Cavs already.

    The Lakers aren't serious about winning a championship. They are too damn soft and unfocused.

    The Celts and Magic looks more like 4 and 5 seeds playing each other.

    Superman has been exposed by Kendrick Perkins as solely a dunk artist. He is basically an amped up version of Tyson Chandler at the very best.

    Lol you should calm down before you post, when your team is shooting threes 60% of the time with the best big man in the league, then there a coaching problem. They guy only got 10 shots off. Thats pretty awful.

    Never underestimate the marketing machine of the NBA, Denver wouldnt be ideal for the finals. Nevermind how good they are.

    come on, you arent saying the nba is rigged are you? I totally forgot about that, Kobe vs. Lebron, not to mention the whole west coast market, would be ideal. We will start to see more phantom fouls, and Kobe going to the line 50 plus times, like when the newly crowned prince of the NBA Dwayne Wade was fouled with no one around him in the finals vs. Dallas a few years back.

    Oh dont get me started on that, Dwayne Wade shot 59 free throws over the span of 2 games during the those finals. Completely ridiculous.

    We were 1-3 against them in the regular season. As we know the playoffs are another season and anything can happen. I would agree that David Stern and the television execs are probably hoping for a LA - Cleveland final.

    The Lakers just need to be focused in any 4 out of the 7 games, because their A-game will be anyone else's by 15.

    What is Cleveland's record against the Lakers this year?

    goose-egg and 2.

    P.S. This is my 10,000th post. It's been a pleasure being here in the last half decade or so. :)

    ahhh, but was Billups playing in all 4 of those games? He is the most under rated player in the NBA, and he is gelling with that team right now. Their presence in the paint with Nene and K Mart, Birdman coming off the bench and bringing the energy he brings, J.R. Smith who is a loud mouth, but a great shooter. That being said i dont believe it isnt within the realm of possibility that David Stern the pimp will have his refs giving Kobe all the calls.
