[MVP]

In light of KG now possibly missing the entire playoffs, I'm changing my East pick, Magic over the Celtics and Cavs in 7

I don't even think it would be an upset though. Wade by far is the best player on the floor, and we've seen in the past that he can win anentire series by himself (and some help from the striped shirts

j/k). I think this series will be the most entertaining out of all the 1st rd matchups outof the East.

 

[lakersmets49ers]

i think that heat hawks series is going to be like the celtics hawks series last year how it goes 7 and the home team wins every game.

 

[jbone2308]

Lakers are winning. It's not going to be easy for anyone getting to the Finals but LA will survive.

 

[in the line for viis]

If Stern is rigging it: Cavs over Lakers in 7 with LeBron as MVP

If Stern isn't, I see two possible scenarios:

ECF: Magic over Cavs in 6, Cavs over Magic in 6

NBA Finals: Lakers over Cavs in 6-7, Magic over Lakers in 6

I think if the Lakers face the Magic in the finals, they're going to lose.

 

[iminchucks5]

a strange feeling is telling me its going to be lakers vs magic in the finals.

 

[starbury03]

My Dark Horses for the Playoffs are..

The Blazers.

And The Heat.

Lakers over Jazz (4)

Cavs/Lakers is inevitable, Lakers in 6.

Spurs are good to win 1 round, but w/o Ginobli they won't do anything.

Chicago still won't upset the C's despite KG being out.

I had the Finals right after I found out KG was hurt, just in the wrong amount of games
