yeah, i'm thoroughly impressed with these kids...saw the game last night and they def. showed resolve! i wouldnt want to meet portland...and suns sleepwalked thru last night...but then again, we're talking about the Suns...they dont go anywhere..far.

I don't think the Lakers will be in the Finals this year...

That's what they all say last year. I don't see the Cavs winning though. And when they lose, there's gonna be shitload of excuses blaming mo williams or the other people for not contributing.

Either way, I respect everyone else's predictions they're all good.

Actually i serioulsy think the Cavs would take it this year, they are/seem determined, just like the Lakers last year. Lakers lost to Boston, no, they were humiliated by Boston the year before, and Lakers came back with resolve and determination to win it last year, and Kobe made sure all the guys were on the same page. this year, on the other hand, it seems like LA has gotten the monkey off their back (mostly Kobe) and most of the guys got the fat check, so they're just chillin...they have no pressure at all. The Cavs have all the pressure to win it all...lebron stay or go, Shaq's last hurrah...etc...this is why I think the Cavs will take it.

All teams have talent, but it's all about heart and resolve, who wants it most now!

Very nice point. So I guess we can agree that it's going to be Lakers vs. Cavs in finals? lol

Barring any major injuries lakers are coming out of the west. No western team can compete with the Bynum Gasol duo. In the east I think Cavs but the dark horse is Atlanta I think they can beat anybody in the east if they are on point.

[Kensta335]

I think Orlando still has a good chance of coming out of the East. I won't be suprised if they beat the Cavs again.

i think it'll be Mavs vs Cavs. they are hungry, they are healthy, and they have the talent now, and it's Dirk's fast shrinking window of opportunity..it's now or never for him.

Lol. Loved it when Matt Barnes and Kobe went at it. Kobe was a badass, didn't even flinch, when Barnes tried to fake pass to his face.

yep, that Bynum/Gasol duo is a beast and intimidating, but Kobe needs to be there too, and he's not...his shooting % has gone way down since all the injuries..and also LA's bench is horrible this year..completely inconsistent. On top of that Bynum has just recently recovred and played ONE game since last month, he has a lot to catch up...as a die hard Lakers fan, i still think LA wont make it out of the West..

Yeah, I've been saying the same thing after the All-Star break. I don't think the Lakers will make it out too. I thought it was going to be Denver but they are slipping too. I think it will be the Mavs or the Suns.
