You must have forgot that NENE is coming back

I... what?

Do you seriously think Denver's second-worst-defense in the NBA can stop the Lakers and the best offensive player of a generation?

with two of the leagues top 4 scorers? and the league leader in blocked shots/rebounds? with the deep bench they offer? J.R. Smith, Chucky Atkins, Linas Kleiza, KMART?

Don't get me wrong the Lakers aren't pushovers but neither are the Nuggets

I honestly think the Nuggets will be lucky to win one game against LA. They were just aweful against them in the regular season

Even national media was saying the suns get screwed by the refs
If manu wants to flop I bet Shaq will help him make it look convincing

Who cried like a little girl then sold out his teamates when he got caught poking the maid?
Who never developed emotionally past the high school level?
Kobe has mad offensive skills but he plays like a bitch off the court.
If you are a fan and can overlook his breaking of the man code then good on you. I'm not and I don't.

THEY CAN'T DEFEND.

The only team with a WORSE defense are the Warriors, and they DON'T EVEN TRY.

I'm actually going to agree with you on the Finals pick, Direckshun. I'm buying the Jazz hard this year.

The Hornets are the perfect first-round matchup for the Mavericks. They are a bunch of pussy jump shooters who can't defend the paint and don't have a single "uber-superstar" player who the refs will favor.

The Mavericks, meanwhile, are a tough team that plays defense and have a superstar. They also have mounds of playoff experience, the Hornets have very little.

Unless Dirk just totally chokes I see the Mavs taking it. I'm very pleased they beat the Hornets to avoid the Lakers in round 1.

1 Celtics
8 Hawks
Cs in 5 games. Hawks surpise game one.

4 Cavaliers
5 Wizards
Wizards got it in 6 games. Lebron will be the heroe twice, but will choke it up in the end.

3 Magic
6 Raptors
Magic will win in a sweep.

2 Pistons
7 76ers
Yeah, probably a sweep.
The West:

1 Lakers

Lakers win it in five, because they won't take game 4 seriously and the nuggs will.

Suns win in a sweep. Yeah, I know.

2 Hornets

The Mavs take strong and win on the road, but the Hornets'll come together. Hornets in 7 games.

3 Magic
2 Pistons

Piston's win in 5 games. Rasheed Wallace takes over.

Jazz are tired. Lakers win another in 5 games in a similar fashion.

2 Hornets
Suns pull the upset in and tough seven game series.


1 Celtics
2 Pistons
Detroit blazes boston in 5 games.

1 Lakers
6 Suns
The rested Lakers win in a sweep.

Lakers
Pistons
A fun series that will pump up non-nba fans for next year. Lakers win in 6.

okay? they still won 50 games with that HORRIBLE DEFENSE

and im very pleased we (mavs) avoided the lakers

ROFLROFL I can't believe that loser is still in the NBA.

The same things could be said about Shaq. I don't care much for Kobe's attitude, but I'll take it over Shaq's.

I used to like the Suns in the west but the Shaq for Marion trade still baffles me. Shaq is easily the most washed up player in the league.

Also the winner of the Cavs/Wizards will win the East.
