Who's Gonna Win The NBA Championship?

Nobody can beat the Lakers in a best of 7? San Antonio sure as hell can, and they are definitely going to repeat. We play Portland tonight, and it's going to be a lot harder than L.A. Plus we are only 1/2 game behind Minnesota for the #2 seed. I think we will catch them.

I can't wait to see LA win their 4th championship in 4 years...the sh!t talking will no doubt be bad enough for me to get banned from this site.

4th championship in 5 years. But anyway, that won't happen, for their efforts will once again be foiled by San Antonio.

Actually, Minnesota is #1 seed and ahead of San Antonio and Lakers by 1 & 1/2 games. Sacramento is behind Minny by 1/2 a game.

Also, don't forget you 2 that both the Lakers and the Spurs have to get through the top 2 seeds as well.

the lakers pass too much now. everybody so f*ckin' "unselfish"... stop pleasing the media and shoot the ball already! overpassing = turnovers.

Spurs beat Portland of course. So Minnesota is 1 1/2 games ahead of San Antonio, yes.

Spurs, Lakers, and Kings are all tied up and 1 1/2 games behind Minny. Luckily for me, the Nuggets lost to Rockets so its a 3 way tie again at 8.

Well I was pissed yesterday because Nuggets beat Portland in overtime so Portland probably won't make it now that they are a full game behind both Utah and Denver.

On a plus side, Kings flat out manhandled the Lakers. Shaq had 10 points and Kobe had 8 off 3 for 13. Shaq screwed himself with 2 quick offensive fouls and it was downhill for the Lakers after that. They are now 1 game behind Kings & Spurs, and 2 games behind T-Wolves. Looks like the Lakers won't get that #1 seed after all and may only get #4.

Lakers are still gonna win

i hate shaq

Lakers vs. Kings game was just like the game they played a couple of weeks ago. one team showed up and the other didn't. During the 11 game win streak the Lakers manhandled the Kings and now vice versa. Kobe obviously was making a point to his teammates that made comments about him being a ball hog by shooting only 3 shots after 32 minutes of gameplay. You really can't expect anyone in this league to hold those two to a combined 18 points in the playoffs.....ever

He stopped shooting because he was being double teamed. The Kings forced him to pass and the other Lakers just weren't hitting any shots. Thats why he reduced his shot amount.

Damn, well... the Nuggets have clinched their spot in the playoffs. Hopefully the Timberwolves rip them apart.

Spurs beat Portland. And if they can win their last game and Minnesota loses to Memphis, which could happen, it would give San Antonio the top seed in the West.

that's only a 1/2 truth. You can't shut Kobe Bryant down like that for 3 quarters....it just isn't done. He never took the ball to the rack and dished, all he did was walk around the court. I saw him at the end of the 2nd quarter right when he got onto the bench, and he wasn't even sweating. The real Kobe Bryant would force the ball to the rim and either dish it off to Shaq or Karl....or he would get fouled. He shot like 3 freethrows that game....he averages over 8 attempts per night.

Though the defense was good....i think he was sending a message to his teammates basically telling them that they need him more than he needs them.

he did it to prove a point to his team, though he sabotaged hopes of home court with that little pettiness. there were many opportunities that he would have normally taken it to the rack that me instead passed.

another horrendous game that the Lakers luckily escaped. they need Sacramento to lose to Golden State and they need to beat the Blazers in Portland in order to be #2 seed.

MOTHER F*CKER! Kobe hit a 3 to force over time and a 3 to win in 2OT against the Blazers. Damn, that made Lakers go from 4th seed to 2nd. MOTHER F*CKER!

and shots like those....are precisely the reason why i believe the Lakers are going to win the Championship. No one else in the league could have done that.....probably not even Jordan. Especially the 1st 3 pointer to go into OT.

2 words: Reggie Miller

i stand corrected....but reggie can't take it t the hoop.
