Any NBA fan here?  NBA season is winding down. In eastern conference, Chicago Bulls are the front runners followed by Boston Celtics, Miami Heats and Orlando Magic. In Western conference, it's the SA Spurs, LA Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and OK Thunders. Who do you expect in the NBA finals and which teams are you routing for? I am fine with any team except LAL. Time to crown the new Champions than making the LAL 3peat champs. What do you say? |

I think Miami Heat will win the championship as they seem to gel well towards the season's end whereas Celtics are falling apart, Bulls have to show that they can handle playoff pressure as well as regular season. Spurs without Parker are not big threat right now.
Waiting to see if the Miami Heat trio are championship caliber after the pre season hype.

Regular season and playoffs are like apples and oranges as James has proved with Cavaliers in the past. But I agree that with Wade/Bosch sharing some of the load, James is in better place to achieve his first crown in Miami Heat uniform than with Cleveland.
Who is the dark horse out of 16 playoff teams? Or will the top 4 from each conference make to the SF round?

I think Lakers will repeat, if they get past Mavs. Heat does not have the players to succeed in post season, they will get killed on boards.

Lakers lost the opener to Hornets. They might still prevail but the road to repeat became harder as they might have to go 7 games to finish off the hornets and future rounds aren't easier either.
Bulls seem determined to bring a championship to Chicago after Jordan's era. Have to see whether Bryant can match Jordan's tally of 6 championships or Bulls will stop him.

Bulls /Heat are just one win away from SF round. My prediction : Bulls, Heat, Celtics and Orlando in East SF Lakers, Thunder, Mavs and Spurs in west SF. Go Mavs, Dirk needs one crown for his loyalty before he hangs up |

Heat and Mavs. Heat are 1-0 and with Dirk's injury update after Game 1, it looks like King James will get his first championship ring. Hope Mavs will not fold with Dirk's injury but will keep the series competitive.
Does any one agree with Scotty Pippen's statement that James is better than MJ ? I don't ; till James matches MJ's 6 championships, they are in different league.
For NBA novices, MJ -Michael Jordan

Mavs cannot sustain heat's momentum with Dirk's injury.
Shame that a better bench could have still won against big 3 of Miami.
King James might win but isn't it a team effort than proof of his greatness seeing how without Wade, he had little chance to get win even on the first game ?
I was rooting for Dirk to finish his career with atleast one championship. Looks like Mavs have to assemble 2 more scorers next year like this year's Heat to have any realistic chance before Dirk gives up.

hey, Dirk still has passion left inspite of injury. Series tied at 1-1 and ESPN can stop showing the ticker that Heat didn't lose this post season at home games Exciting times are here again !! |
