NBA Playoffs

Who do you think will win this year? As a Cavaliers supporter I hope Lebron can lead the cavs to a consecutive Eastern Conference win. But that doesn't look very likely with their current form. We have too many injuries to consistently play well. Thoughts?

To be honest I have been far more interested in the NCAA tournament and the quality of basketball in the 'elite eight' has been of a high standard. For a change, no lowly ranked team progressed through to the final four.

San Antonio, Houston, Boston and Golden State I will watch more than the Cavs and Lakers.

I watch any nba game on fox sports or espn which is how i came to following the Cavs (because they were on the most when I started watching it). To be honest I haven't watched a lot of he NCAA.

Going back a couple of months I'd have said Boston v Phoenix in the Finals. But trade to get Shaq I think has ruined Phoenix's offence. The West is so hard to call. New Orleans are a bit too green, San Antonio can't be ruled out, Houston is playing great ball......but I think the Lakers will get to teh finals and be runner up to Boston.

The whole league is so wide open, that it should create one of the most interesting playoff races for a long time

Clearly in the West - the Lakers, Spurs, Suns, Mavericks are all teams with the pieces capable of winning it. New Orleans And the Rockets have emerged and Chris Paul from the Hornets is submitting one of the greatest ever seasons by a small guard, reminiscent of Isaiah Thomas's best years. And the Warriors and Nuggets are also pretty dangerous teams.

In the East its hard to see past the Celtics or Pistons emerging, I cant see the Cavaliers challenging.
