I see the same finals as last year but wouldnt be surprised to see the Lakers take us this year... I think the Rockets are overrated though (as much as i do really like Yao and T Mac)

celtics..even during the 19 game win streak they didn't play their best basketball which is scary because they will get better!!

why is that the fault of other teams? they've played the most. give the cavs a few more days and they'll catch up.

the loss column is what matters

they're playing better than last year, why isn't it their best basketball?

[pBLU-RAYs3]

the christmas game between the Boston Celtics against Los Angeles Lakers. What happened to Paul Pierce & Kevin Garnett! Did they become lazy or what.

I only saw a tiny brief moments here & they but I did catch the end. I predict for the East, cavs, pistons or celtics & the West: lakers, suns or spurs.

Boring! How about clippers vs. bucks for a change. It's starting to get predictable.

[Bizdady]

Its all bout The Lake show! Lets go Lakers, just need our top players to keep playing with intensity

[rob 14]

**** the celtics they aint ****. There beatable.they didn't have bynum last year and look what happen and gasol showed some toughness oh yea. 'LETS GO LAKERS'

Celtics and Cavaliers vs. the 1995-96 Bulls

It's absolutely preposterous, right? There's no way we should compare this year's Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers to Michael Jordan's fourth title team (the best of the six MJ teams to win it all), which many think was the greatest NBA machine ever assembled.

Except for one thing: The Celtics and Cavs are on a similar pace as those 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, which became the only team to win 70 games and finished with a record 72 wins.

We don't know if the C's and Team LeBron can keep it rolling, but you can bookmark this page and come back to see just how well they're doing, game by game, compared to MJ's Bulls.


neither team are gonna come close, but hey..its fun to look at

playoff odds there....

RECORD ALERT Current odds of winning 72 or more games: Boston, 2.1%; Cleveland, 7.4%; L.A. Lakers, 0.3%

cavs have a 39.9% chance of winning the finals..compared to the c's who have a 21.2% chance. lakers have a 12.2% chance

the cavs are also number 1 in offensive efficiency and 2nd in defensive. only those 72 win bulls have finished first in both categories.

[ixlegitballinxl]

predictions?

i'd like to see Boston and Lakers in the finals again!

[cajmoyper]

God, I hate the Lakers! I hate Vujacic more than anything in the world. And Kobe's stupid smirk...I want to strangle that guy. I have a lot of animosity today. I understand that I'm saying this from the confines of SA, but how long are people going to not talk about the Spurs? Don't look now but they're in 2nd place in the West. And everybody knows that they don't play their best basketball until after the All-Star break. Watch out Stern, your worst nightmare might come true...the Spurs in the Finals.

[Jellybeans]

Boston Vs Phoenix

or

Boston Vs San Antonio

[Uxi]

Definitely another Lakers and Celtics showdown. This time a repeat of '85 with a closeout game 6 win over the Celtics in Boston.

[Bizdady]

Lakers can play the fast court or the slowcourt so all you haters out there keep on Hating. Well see come June the Lake Show

[melocubs]

Cavs vs Spurs

Not me. I don't know about everyone else here, but I kept saying (especially on another forum) do not under-estimate the Spurs. Pretty soon people will realize there are actually two teams each from each conferences are going to contend for the title for real.

By the way, quite a few people say the Rockets are going to be something this year, I really do not see it at all. Not even IF T-Mac is finally healthy for a change.

well the great thing is that its so early in the season, we can trash talk all we want. theres a lot of basketball left and a lot of time for any number of things to happen

I don't know, I was for some reason violent that day. Actually, I still want to strangle Kobe. But it's nice to see at least one other person show a little respect to the Spurs.

It's cool to be angry sometimes, but I sincerely think Kobe has changed for the better since last year. He might still have been a stuck up SOB until 2006, but I think the last two seasons plus last year's Finals; as well as the Olympics made him a much more humble player on the court. Throw the guy a bone, dude.
