I think that's pretty accurate. Except I have Lakers taking it in the end.

I don't care who wins, as long as it isn't LA. Go KD! Please mercilessly steamroll this team.

Unfortunately my Rockets weren't able to make it this year. As long as the Lakers lose, I'll be happy.

as a Rockets fan, i wouldn't worry to much. They will probably be back next year (with a healthy Yao Ming)

The 4 games yesterday were pretty much what everyone predicted. I was really impressed by Shaq

WE WANT TACOS!

Although the Lakers have really been stinkin' it up lately. They need to watch it lest they get an early vacation!

And I'll be extremely happy if they lose early. But I'm not holding my breath.

Not a big Hawks fan, but as a Kings fan I do cheer for Bibby. However, with the Bucks picking up Salmons now I feel a bit torn, but I won't be sad if Atlanta wins the whole enchilada. It would be sweet for Mike to get a ring, to make up for 2002 when the refs cheated him out of one.

my lakers played OK, yesterday, but will have to step it up to win it all. other than that i think it would be dallas or denver. i'll agree with the east predictions, i think the cavs come out on top. should be an epic finals.

IMO, Lakers are just a short step above the rest of the teams in the West. The other 7 teams are quite even and any of them could win their series (I go with the Spurs, of course )

In the East, Cleveland and Orlando have a clear advantage. I predict LA vs Cavs in the finals.

(and hope to be wrong)

EDIT: Actually, yes, I agree with this statement. I think the Nuggets could pose a problem for the Lakers. So if Utah takes them out, then they have a better chance of taking it.
