In the end, consistency wins champoinships. Cavs win.

Calm down there. The Cavs haven't won anything yet. Either Orlando or Boston will drain their energy off the first 2 games. Hawks, and Pistons gave up their series to Cavs. To be honest I think Cavs will lose next series or in the Finals. Period. No more discussion on them.

Defense wins championships.......:nanana:

I guess we'll see about that :rofl::rofl:

Based on season performance and post potential...i expect to see Lebron vs Kobe in the finals. However, Denver has been playing great but i don't expect them getting past LA...their bench isn't as deep as Lakers.

btw...i think the Lebron puppet ads are absolutely brilliant:

Given the way LA sputtered to a game 7 against the Houston "Bottle" Rockets, I have changed my finals pick to the Nuggets and Cavs.

LA went 3-1 vs Denver during the season. I can't defend LA's inconsistent performance against Houston especially considering that their #1 & #2 scoring options were out...Not taking anything away from Denver but i believe LA's bench being deeper will make the difference.

Either way, I expect a compelling series but i'm taking LA in 7... :D ...

If Kevin Garnett played series with Orlando, Celtics was winning the series. I still love the way Celtics played in final last year.

I luv to see Kobe Bryan cries as he used to cry after lost game in final series vs. with Spur in LA years ago.
(I graduated from Temple University, i used to see Kobe entered building (illegal entrance because he's not Temple student) to play with Ed. Jone and Aaron McKey (the Owls and then Sixers)15,16 years ago. You see him in real life as teenager and you see him now you may don't like him. I like the Lakers but not Kobe.

Hate Kobe all you want...but you cannot like the Lakers without acknowledging that they are what they are because of Kobe. That's like people saying they dislike Michael Jackson because of all the accusations but love Pop music. You cannot like pop music with acknowledging that Michael is the epitome of Pop.

I personally prefer to focus on their craft other than the actual person...as talent/celebrities in real life are not the typical characters their "roles" make them out to be...but then there are those times when you meet a celebrity and they're the complete opposite of what you've read or heard. Just my 2 shekels...

Yup, i don't hate the Lakers, when i was younger i enjoyed Magic Johnson ( Larry Bird ) and later Michael Jordan of Chicago Bulls. You may don't like what i feel for Kobe but the facts that you can't compare basketball vs. pop music like Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson is the only one for pop at that time but there are many many great players who play better basketball than Kobe but they don't act like Kobe. Kobe attitude is horrible.

Again, i like Lakers because of Magic Johnson, I like Utah because of Karl Malone, I like Chicago because of Michael Jordan, I like the Cavs because of Jame Lebron, I like Toronto because of Vince Carter, I like Sixers because of "Dr. J" I like Celtics because of Larry Bird, because of Kevin Garnett, Paul and Ray Allen etc.

I like Lakers but I DON'T LIKE KOBE (sorry!!)

He can't make Lakers championship last several years but he acts like the legend while others like Lebron Jame, Michael Jordan, Magic Johson, Dr J and so on never had that cockey attitude before.

And never "because" of Kobe and Lakers champion again. Lakers champion years ago because they got help from my big guy SHAQUILLE O'NEIL!!!! Without Shaq, Lakers don't win any champion anymore. Because of Kobe and Laker strong??? NO
KOBE is not much help for Lakers.

I really like SHAQ :)
