Denver and Los Angeles will be a great series.

 

[Mexi]

Charles Barkley picking Orlando vs. Denver Finals <3

Going with Cleveland in 6. I would say 5, but I think Orlando could squeak another one

I really want to say Lakers over Denver in 5. I really would, but I can't right now. I say Lakers in 6

 

[The Young One]

Cle in 7

Lakers in 6

 

[.GR]

I'm gonna say Cleveland in 5.

And Denver in 7.

 

[RipCity32]

Cleveland in 6.
Denver in 6.

If the Lakers bring it to a game 7 though, they got it.

 

[Mexi]

Home court is big in these series

Denver, like Shane Battier says, isn't battle tested. Lets see how they react once they're down 0-2.

And Orlando can't win more than once in Cleveland, and they won't go undefeated at home vs. Cleveland

 

[The Young One]

The main key for denver will be jr smith.

Key for orlando is for shard,hedo and rafer to step up.

 

[HTF]

Let's go Nuggets, this is going to be Melo's Breakout series. The media will finally give him some respect.

 

[RipCity32]

SMH. If the Rockets didn't go down 2-0, the Nuggets won't either. It's going to be 1-1 going back to Denver.

 

[Mexi]

here's what I love and what I think everyone is forgetting
Kobe had a pretty good series vs. Houston. And he was guarded by his two best defenders.

man he's gonna be so happy to see Kleiza, Dhantay Jones, and JR guarding him
I know the Lakers usually, not always but usually, live and die with Kobe. But with those 3 guarding him, we'll be fine. even is Kenyon has to try, that'll leave them noone to guard Pau/Odom/Bynum down low

 

[elcheato]

Lakers winning in 5 just like you said they would sweep the Jazz and win in 5 against the Rockets.

 

[Mexi]

this really could be 5.
i really really believe that Houston matched up better with L.A.

I feel extremely good about this series. Denver got better at D, but they're still not Houston good(defense)

 

[elcheato]

But you said Houston wouldn't be a problem, they were. Maybe you should have listened to me when I told you the Rockets great defense would take this series long, also because the Lakers D is pathetic.

 

[sheed]

Both series are going to be very interesting. It will be exciting to see who comes out in each series. I have Lakers in 6 and Cleveland in 7.

 

[DJT]

Man, Houston almost had it.

Could be 2 good series...but I think the Cavs can sweep the magic...but most likely the magic will win 1, maybe 2.

Let's go Nuggets, this is going to be Melo's Breakout series. The media will finally give him some respect.

Its hard to get respect when you sucker punch someone and back away like a <Censored>.


Cleveland in 7
Nuggets in 7

 

[kdogg]

I know I'm going to get some grief for this but...

Orlando in 7

[MapleLeaf]

Cavs in 5 (Just that good)
Lakers in 6

 

[DC4]

Its hard to get respect when you sucker punch someone and back away like a <Censored>.
