Who's Gonna Win The NBA Championship?

I'm calling Spurs in 6.

I think Lakers in 6 or 7...probably 7 if they can manage to make it that far. (gotta stick with my team)

i like pacers n twolves...but im not sure bout twolves....?

no way the t wolves will win; they're having problems with the Nuggets (yes, i know the series is 3-1, but they have looked downright BAD the last two games); how will they respond to a team like the Spurs or Lakers in a 7 game series? or even the Kings?

The T-Wolves have had little success in years past so they'll have to earn everybody's respect even though they are the #1 seeded team. However, as the #1 seeded team, they have proved that it is possible. I'm rootin for them all the way. Spurs vs Lakers on Sunday though so GO SPURS!

Even though it seemed like they started in January, the playoffs really started two weeks ago; and we're still in the first round.

Western Conference:
Spurs 4-0 Memphis
TWolves 3-1 Nuggets
Lakers 4-1 Rockets
Kings 4-1 Mavericks

Eastern Conference:
Pistons 4-1 Bucks
Nets 4-0 Knicks
Pacers 4-0 Celtics
Heat 2-2 Hornets

Spurs looked dominant, easily beating Memphis.

The T Wolves looked dominant the first two games, but the last two have looked VERY vulnerable. Tonight's game will be pivotal; if Minnesota can't close out at home, the whispers will begin again

The Lakers won the series 4-1, but showed some vulnerability in it; San Antonio can take advantage of poor play by 3 of the big 4 where Houston couldn't

The Kings dispatched the Mavericks in the battle of softest teams in the playoffs.

Pistons woke up and decided to guard Michael Redd, and easily beat the Bucks after a game 2 scare.

Nets and Pacers coasted through the first round, with the Pacers beating the Celtics by double digits in every game.

The most boring playoff series (Heats-Hornets) is probably the only one that will go the six games...

I wouldn't say the Heat vs Hornets was boring by any means. It was far more exciting to watch than the Nets and Pacers series. The East in general is boring as hell to watch.

NJ V. NY was great to watch, I thought.

L.A. needs to learn how to defend the pick & roll if they want any chance at all of beating the Spurs.

I guess I (along with some others too) was right about Heat/Hornets being most exciting. Its the only close series. This has been a very lopsided 1st round but 2nd round will be an execellent 2nd round.

Lakers vs Spurs
T-Wolves vs Kings (most likely)

Pacers vs Heat/Hornets
Nets vs Pistons

I'm now starting to wonder if round 1 should have stayed 5 games. It seemed like a good idea and more fair to the good teams to have best of 7, but its not as exciting because there will be much less disappointments in best of 7.

i think the Pistons will make it 2 the 3rd round

The Lakers will beat the Spurs, and will have to face Scramento again.

I like how Pistons making it to 3rd round is opinion while Lakers beating Spurs then Sac beating Wolves is a fact. 😄

i'm always down for the occassional Laker's to he 3rd round theory. If the Lakers make it to the Western Conference Finals, then the NBA Championship is in ht e bag....

I don't think L.A. can beat Detroit. I think they will fall apart.

You don't think that LA can beat Detroit? I wouldn't put money down on that bet.

I definitely would. But it doesn't matter because L.A. wont have the chance.

Keep the talk up...you show less intelligence with every comment. The Lakers have the best record in the league against the East. It' not a matter of if the Lakers could be Detroit. It's a matter of whether or not they would sweep them...

I hate LA but I still agree with you Link.

YES HA HA HA HA! LA just got beat by the Spurs in game 1.

...and the answer to "can Eastern Conference basketball get any more boring?" is "yes"
