The Western Conference Playoffs

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Never fail to deliver

3 of 4 series at 1-1. Those 3 series could easily go 6-7 games. The Lakers on the other hand will be well rested and waiting for Nuggets/Jazz winner

[RedsLakers24]

No, i believe Thunder could win 2 games at home, Lamar is playing like

[ChrisRichards]

OKC-LAL series is over in 5. I can see OKC winning game 3 but that's going to be the last one for the season, especially the wat Artest has been allowed to play Durant.

[NewJerSpur]

Thunder playing hard, but don't have enough offense to hang with the Lakers. They are great defensively and hustle like , but they have guys out there that are absolute space-eaters on offense.

[Giuseppe]

I don't want Denver. That little Lawson is healthy again. That won't work for us. Utah works for us. We know where everyone is at with them. Plus, Okur is gone, and Boozer is short.

We take OKC out. Utah takes Denver out. We take Utah out. The Spurs put the Mavs out of their misery, then I'll need them to end the Suns. Then the two of us will get down to brass tacks and find our where the bear s in the buckwheat.

Ever since Jordan retired there's always been a huge disparity between the Eastern and Western Conference. There's just been no excitement in the East lately

If cavs and orlando would play in the west there would be no fun too. Which of these jazz/portland/spurs/thunda can make an interesting series against them? None.

Not to mention that if the bucks had bogut nobody would want to play them in the first round.

Ofc in the western conf there are two type of teams: 50 win teams and constant tankers: mem, clipps, sac, wolves. Now look at the eastern conf: bottom feeders this season: new jersey(next season playoff team), washington (epic fail), philly and detroit. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out that those teams(sans was) could go for 40 games next season and nobody would say nothing about it.

As crazy as it sounds the Spurs match up better against the Cavs than the Lakers. They wouldn't stand a chance against the Magic though.

[The TroutBum]

The Fuggets aren't going to win another game. Book that .

[tlongII]

I think OKC will take the Lakers to 7 games. Neither team will get a road win in that series.

5 games tops ...

Well, Manu kills the Cavaliers. Obviously the edge in coaching match-ups goes to San Antonio. And L.A. just doesn't match up well with Cleveland at all.

I think Denver also matches up better against Cleveland than the Lakers do.

[DesignatedT]

lakers win in 5
nuggets win in 7
phoenix wins in 6
spurs win in 7

With a gimpy K-mart and lack of front court depth, the Nuggets don't match up well at all with the Cavs.

I meant to say the Spurs match up better against the Cavs then they (Spurs) do against the Lakers . But I wouldn't for a second count out Lebron at this stage of his career, too dominant and a lot smarter than '07 Lebron.

His teammates are better. Jamison, Shaq and Mo Williams are all better than anyone other than LeBron on the 2007 team.

I have a feeling there's going to be a monkey wrench thrown into your plans.

yup that is very true.
