Lakers will be fine. Phil is already messing with Durant. No way a young team beats the Kobe and Phil. Spurs would have been a tough draw. I'm actually happy the Lakers won't have to face them until the conference finals.

Does Portland even have a chance without Roy? The Nuggets v Jazz is probably the best matchup in the opening round. Hawks and Bucks would have also been good if Bogut didnt have his wrist explode. I dont think people realize how good of a trade the Mavs made and they should be very good, also hoping personally Kidd gets a ring, gotta root for the local boy. If not then give me LeBron finally winning it. I will not be able to stand the goddamn Lakers winning another championship. Fuck LA.

They likely won't need Bynum until the West finals. Kobe will be fine. Lamar and Ron Ron will step it up big and Gasol is Gasol. Shannon Brown will have a few clutch moments.
Well, I know you're an astute Laker fan, so I hope you're right. But to me they'd be much better off playing San Antonio....an older, slower, less hungry team....a team who's tendencies they're very familiar with.
OKC scares the crap out of me. I'm actually tempted to make a small bet on them....
Again, I hope so, but aside from a handful of games they really haven't shown me any indication they're a dominant force this year. Which surprises me, as along with most people I thought the Artest acquisition was going to make them damn near invincible.
LA wont win it this year they play like they are satisfied with winning last year and they job they did this year .
They didnt play like a number 1 seed down the stretch i wouldnt be suprise to see denver or dallas in the nba finals
I would be shocked shitless if anyone but the cavs or magic goes to the nba finals altho i wouldnt mind seeing the winner of the magic bobcats series win the whole damn thing.
Shaq will go down as one of the greatest but howard will show him why is the best big man in the NBA today

If Charlotte can get past Orlando...somehow...they will beat Cleveland. I wanted to see that matchup soooo bad. I believe they swept the Cavs this year, but went 1-3 against the Magic.
I just don't want to see Shaq ride someone elses coattails to a title again. (Wade)
For anyone interested, I got a pick and roll (bracket) league on NBA.com

How many people actually realize that the Lakers had only the 3rd best record in the league, and that if they play the Magic in the Finals, Orlando has home court. Or that Orlando was only 2 wins shy of the best record in the league. Just saying.
^ ^ ^ ^
Yes I'm aware. Naturally the Lakers have been talking down the importance of home court for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not buyin it.
I haven't watched that many Magic games this year, maybe a dozen, but from what I've seen I think they were a fraction better last year with Turkoglu than this year with Carter.

man the nuggest tore up the jazz . yeah only one western team has played in the west but i cant help but feel that the niggest are the team to beat in the west
Anybody see the Heat/Celtic game? Garnett is going to be suspended for throwing his dirty elbows at Quinten Richardsons face.
If Pierce wasn't such a bitch, this whole thing could have been avoided.
Richardson knows what it's all about. Pierce is a bitch and Garnett is a punk.
Fuck the Celtics. I can't wait to see the Cavs sweep their ass.

I want the Heat to win, but I don't think they have a realistic chance to win. Miami should have one last night. Boston played like shit, but Miami played worse. 15 points over the last 19 minutes? Sad.
Lakers locked down on OKC today.
Pros
Lakers held Durant to 24 points on 7-24 shooting.
Bynumite and Gasol combined for 25 boards.
Odom is back on the bench with the 2nd unit.
Phil Jackson is 45-0 after winning game 1.
Cons
Kobe shot just as bad as Durant with 21 points on 6-19 shooting.
Kobe also fouled out.
Fisher got worked by Westbrook.
Not much production from the bench.
These cons don't really bother me. L.A has the depth to get past a cold shooting day for Kobe. Besides, this series is going to be won from the inside out. Bynum/Gasol/Odom are going to dominate OKC in the paint. They just can't matchup with L.A.
Fisher always gets out played by the opposing point guard. Nothing new there.
Oh well. We're up 1-0. All that matters. :thefinger
Kevin Garnett is suspended 1 game for elbowing Quentin Richardson in the face last game. Richardson was fined $25,000 for headbutting Garnett's elbow. :1orglaugh Dumb.
Fuck Boston.
The Magic showed The Bobcats what playoff basketball is all about. Looks like Stephen Jackson might miss some time. Sorry roronoa. It's been a good year.

what happen to the celtics they went from class to ass since winning the championship i use to have so much respect for garnett . Get him out of boston
i dont think the heat have a chance either but it doesnt matter cus the eatern conference will be cavs and magic
I don't care about either team but I don't feel that the big ticket should have been suspended. Q-Rich instigated the whole thing. the big ticket was trying to get Q-Rich from the truth.
Blazers tried like hell to blow that game. Suns kept jacking threes at the end, but 2's would have done. And Nash rushed that terrible shot at the end.
Magic did their best Magic impression by running to a big lead and proceeding to blow it, only to win in the end. And Vince Carter is so damn inconsistent. Whenever I see him play, he's terrible. He must play well in the games I don't see to bring up those averages. I'm this close to calling for JJ Redick to start, who at least you know what you're getting out of.
