hmmmm i disagree on a couple there.

Washington to absoloutely TORCH the cavs in 5.
Jamison and caron butler have been too solid this year with a lil of underrated guys stepping up eg roger mason and blatche. Plus Arenas coming off the bench the cavs we will really struggle.

Ohh! and i cant wait for the stevenson vs Lebron match up. Seems like Stevenson thinks he can contain him....it will be a great series.

Utah over houston in 6. Alston will miss the first to games and without Yao i still think they will struggle despite how good they have been.

Magic over Detroit defiantly will not happen...detroit 2 play boston in eastern conference finals detroit in 5.....i understand boston have allen, pierce and garnett but they will have to play 35-40+ mins a game as the rest of the team is inexperienced

Suns > west

Would be great to see a suns-lakers western conf final, the way it should be... 'kobe V shaq'

I think they should just start the Boston v Detroit series right now, no one else is gonna make it in the east.

not so sure Ingles. Lebron will shake things up. 3 way race.

I also think Suns will beat Spurs, but won't get past Utah or NO. Who knows against LA. Utahs my tip on winning the West

No-one mentioned Dallas??
I'm a jazz fan and i think we have a real good shot this year. Especially if the Suns do the right thing and get rid of the Spurs (Shaq is the anti-Duncan)
That being said, Dallas got playoff rookies NO Hornets first up.. They have an mean streak in Dirk..
And the desire of Kidd...

Also- look for Washington to ruin Cavs first up.

Detroit and Boston series will be ...wonderful.

It will be a LA and boston final. lakers have more reliable team than the spurs if it gets to the conference final the spurs will only depend on Duncan and Parker and possibly Finlay but he isnt very consistant . the nba has changed from only having two star players eg. (shaq and kobe) winning 3 titles to the new age of the the league of have 3 to 4 star player like LA with (Kobe,Lamar,Gasol,Bynum) and boston having (Allen,Garrnet,Pierce).Lakers will win in 7 in a couple of games under 10 pts we are lookin forward to a awsome finals series.
