The Lakers won't even make the NBA Finals. I can pretty much guarantee that. They're way too inconsistent. Hot and Cold teams never last through the postseason.
Denver's been on the declining side, lately. George Karl has been receiving cancer treatment the past month or 2 and Kenyon Martin has been out for weeks. It's amazing they're still among the top with the caliber of teams there are in the Western Conference. With Karl coming back soon and Kenyon Martin just about ready, I can see the Nuggets slingshot their way to the Western Conference Finals, but that may be wishful thinking.
My prediciton for the NBA Finals is either the Cavaliers and Nuggets or the Cavaliers and Mavericks. Either way, I see Cleveland dominating their way to a title.

I'm afraid you're right about the Cavs. But hey, the Spurs beat Dallas last night so at least they didn't get swept. And I was actually hoping the Thunder would beat LA, but that was longshot that is long gone. Durant is still pretty awesome though.

If Karl is back for the Western Conference Semi-Finals and Denver gets past Utah, I can see Denver taking out the Lakers in 5. Could be wishful thinking, but I think after all that time away, he's got some great tricks up his sleeve. I guarantee Denver would be #2 at the very least if Karl and wasn't out. They've gone 10-9 since he's gone, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not going to brag and cause the Spurs to choke. I'm watching game 4 right now. If we can take this one it will be pretty tough for the Mavs.
The Bobcats are almost gone, but at least they made it. And going down 3 to 0 allowed me to afford tickets to the last home game. Maybe Jordan will give away shirts and towels like he did in game 3.

I'm watching the Spurs, as well. I didn't think they would catch up after trailing 11 at halftime, but they ended up with a 7 point lead at the end of the 3rd! Hopefully they can hold on for the win!!!

Denver is down 2-1. But this image always cheers me up.

I love how everyone continues playing and Kobe is sitting there jumping up and down like a 2 year old.

Pop has Spurs playing in stride at the perfect time. They were nasty and aggressive in game 4.
Nothing against AD but this just goes to show how important a coach like Karl is to the Nuggets. That's a different series if he is healthy. And then AD has kidney stones... and I can tell you that sucks. Maybe Utah wins anyways but I'd liked to have seen the Nuggets have a chance with their coach.
Lol at Kobe Roethlisberger ;D

Yeah, it's a bummer. Karl was expected to be back after this series. With Denver down 3-1, it looks like a long shot. Dantley doesn't seem like he has the energy or drive to want to be there. He looks like he's just.... there. Maybe he's hoping Utah will win?

Oh, God. I love it. Especially considering the Nuggets are the opposing team.

The funniest thing on that is that it looks like he has no face on that video

Hahaha!! I never even noticed that. You get a brief flash for a second when he's jumping up and down and you see the anger. Just for a brief second.
