LA and Cavs in the finals. The rest of the teams suck

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

The Jazz better not turn that series into a flop fest.

Lol are you serious Lakers sweep the Spurs? What are you smoking?

Dead serious...u dont have Manu and this Laker team is better than last years. Also, If SA even makes it that far they will have nothing left. I honestly think Denver will take care of the Spurs, but I picked SA anyways b/c it's hard to imagine another Laker finals run w/o our favorite doormat
