a Lakers - Miami Heat finals would be so badass. Please God? I'd say the odds on that are about 200 to 1. |

lol. that isn't even coming close to happening. i am going beyond the odds, and say chicago and houston. :wtf:
actually, the way the west is shaped at the moment, it looks very interesting.
*golden state could give dallas some problems, because currently, golden state holds the series lead over dallas 2-0.
*lakers could give phoenix problems, because although the suns won the season series 3-1, the lakers played them tough.
*the nuggets are rolling on a hot streak entering the playoffs, and look in sync at the moment. not a good sign for the aging spurs (sorry kap). yeah the anthony-ai duo is pretty good, and nene and camby are starting to develop a hefty force in the middle.
*jazz-rockets series could go 7 games. i give the edge to the rockets. |

Chicago has no inside game. Contain them on perimeter and the Bulls are toast.

I'm not sold on George Karl as a coach though. IMO he's only slightly better than Isaiah Thomas. |

*as for chicago, anything can happen in the east. detroit and miami really didn't "dominate" the east like everyone predicted, and cleveland looks shady with bron, no company, and bron not being able to finish games (a la garnett). this leaves chicago, who out of the 4 top teams have the deepest bench, and i believe their defense can make up for their lack of interior offense.
*as for the nuggets and george karl, ditto. however, history does prove that sometimes it is good to ride on the hot team. last year, it was the clippers, almost handing the suns an early exit in the 2nd round. could the nuggets be that team this year? if we talk about george karl and medicority, we can bump mike dunleavy into that conversation too. :) |

You forgot Toronto :p
I'm not just plugging my team, but the Raps do play well and while the bench is inconsistent at times, IMO has the most depth in the East, and probably up on the top on the league as whole, even with loss of Bargnani and Garbajosa. 3rd in the East is not too shabby for a team that many predicted to finish near the basement in the East.
I really want to see a Chicago vs Raps match up down the pipeline. It'll be Chicago's D and hot perimeter offence vs Raps fluid offence and Bosh.

Oh I don't doubt the talent on the Nuggets, esp. Camby stays healthy. Most teams would kill to have a starting lineup like that. But The Nuggets bunch kinda sucks and a good coach is a must to go far in NBA IMO. |
