lol we were worried about them going up against the Nuggets or Warriors even. We couldn't face Houston (the preferred matchup) in all 3 rds now.

I hate the Hornets, I don't wanna see Tyson Chandler, Amare's enemy get a ring before him. And Chris Paul is a good player but he's such a little punk...but if it came up to Lakers vs Hornets i'll take the Hornets lol.

It would be crazy to see Lakers win it all with Kobe's first MVP award. What would that say about our 2 time MVP and Dirk Nowitzki...I have a feeling these Lakers are for real, can't deny what they have accomplished this season - they were looking a mess after reaching the Finals vs Pistons - Scandals galore, Parker, Kwame, but they developed Farmar, Sasha, Walton, Turiaf, they developed a team this year, and are dangerous. Utah doesn't seem like they have what it takes to topple the Lakers.

Well, it wouldn't say anything about Nash or Dirk because they didn't win it all when Kobe was playing those seasons and Kobe was eliminated by Nash twice in the playoffs. Also, we've been through why the Suns didn't win it all, and that's due to key injuries/suspensions every year.

Suns may not have been the luckiest team. But I'd say this team consisting mostly of dumb players cost us a title. Always too many dumb mistakes, dumb plays late in games. Yes, I include the suspensions. Teams find ways to overcome injuries or that special situation. Remember, Suns HAD the Spurs in PHX w/o Amare and Diaw, and they did what they seemingly always do. Make dumb plays at the end of the game, and blow it. It would've been 3-2, all the momentum on the Suns side WITH Amare and Diaw coming back.


Utah's going to win at least 1 game in Utah. Wouldn't surprised to see them win 2. Lakers-Hornets (if NO continues to win, don't want to jinx it) will be a classic series.

It's nice to know that even if we did beat the Spurs, we didn't stand a chance at getting to the Finals.

Sadly, I think the Hornets are going to lose.

I've got Utah in 6.
Spurs in 6.
Boston in 6
Detroit in 5

I dont think the hornets will lose... the way I see they have everything to go all the way...

I don't know.. Spurs seemed to have em figured out. Bowen is guarding Peja last 2-3 games so he hasn't been able to do anything, West has been shut down a bit himself, and they're almost letting Paul beat them by himself. NO needs to do something or they might lose 4 in a row here. I hope they can make an adjustment of sorts.

Utah needs to win next game in LA to have a chance. They can pull this off... man, it will be great. Some LA fans around here need a humbling experience. But I doubting that the Jazz can win in LA.

I know no one can win on the road in the playoffs all of a sudden, but Boston needs to show they can do it once. Hopefully, they win next game and end it in 6.

Pistons got that series wrapped. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Magic push it one more game.

Kekai

My bet is with the 3 series now tied 2-2 they all end up going 7 and the home team winning.

Aylwin

Utah can't win on the road so I think it'll be the Lakers in 7. I won't mind if I'm wrong though.

Popovich said that seedings didn't matter because the playoff race was so close. I think he was wrong. Home court advantage DOES matter BECAUSE the playoff race is so close. Maybe it just doesn't matter for the Spurs. Let's see...

Lebron's dunk from tonight.

Absolutely wicked!
