NBA 10'/11' Thread.
I think this switch thing is over rated. L.A won't have home court in the conference finals and almost certainly won't have home court in the finals, assuming they get there. L.A and Boston are both putting all their eggs in this switch basket and I'm not sure how well it will work out this year. They aren't in a league of their own anymore. Teams are younger, hungrier and most importantly, better. The rest of the league has caught up. Chicago, OKC, Miami and Denver don't care who you are.
That said, I'm still an arrogant Lakers fan, and we'll see them Bulls in the Finals. Kobe isn't passing the torch yet, Icewater!!!

People like to bash the NBA for being too predictable. These are one of the few years I honestly don't know who's going to win it. It's wide open.
I disagree. The Celtic's window is beginning to close. They are the third best team in the East, the Bulls and Heat are way better.
I don't even think I can say the C's are the third best anymore given their performance at the end this year. I know they are by virtue of record, but on the court, the Magic are just better right now. I don't think people understand how depleted they (Celtics) are down low on offense, and especially defense.
Which team has the biggest chance of causing an upset? i think the Knicks. If the Knicks played a full year with Anthony and Amare, I think they would have been a 3 or 4 seed in the playoffs this year. The Knicks are not a team anyone wants to play because if they figure out how to play defense, they will be hard to beat.
I would say the Knicks only if they were to match up against the Heat. They're going to get the Celtics in the first round and there is no chance that they are going to win that series. They just don't match up well against the Celtics.
I don't know, I think the celtics could be upset in the first round
Yeah, when the Heat play the Knicks they awake a sleeping giant. The media and the fans want to see this match-up. I certainly did not.
:1orglaugh very funny.
yes!
Sooo glad the Wolves' season (and their misery) is finally over. 17 and 65. At this rate we will no longer be one of the 13 Metropolitan areas to claim all four major sports clubs because the Wolves cannot continue to put that product on the court competing some nights with the other side of town and the Wild. 
I feel the same way about the Pistons. So glad the season is over. Time to move forward for next year.

I didn't realize it, but Cleveland actually has more wins than Minnesota. Damn. On the bright side, top 5 picks always help. And Rubio is supposed to head over next year.
I'm afraid the future is a bit darker for you. Here's hoping new ownership turns things around. Hamilton and Tayshaun will probably be shipped this offseason. At least Monroe is a stud in the making.
knicks and celtics will be a good series. melo, amare and big shot needs to work together.
