I think this is the year for Lebr0n James! Another series sweep. He said after last years defeat in the playoffs to the Celtics that he was going to stay focused on next season and he sure has. I dont see anyone stopping Lebron from winning his first NBA Finals!
The Rockets minus key players, Ming, McGrady and Mutombo that are out have still managed to show the Lakers up. Everyone I know said the Lakers were going to win the series hands down easily. Well at 2-2 I dont see the Lakers winning anything easy. So Kobe fans you might want to get your hankies out and be ready to cry because a series win is NOT going to come easy. With little to no key players on the team, Brooks, Artest and Battier are now able to show what they can do besides the star players. So this series will be interesting and its not a far cry from saying the Rockets just might pull off the upset of the season if they show the “Los Angeles Kobes” up. Seriously, Kobe is their only guy. He isn’t all that. Nor is their coach.
The Dallas Mavericks managed to save themselves with a win over Denver. Wow! Im actually surprised. I thought it was going to be an easy series win for Denver but nope. Dallas is still in the ballgame…barely…..From what I have seen their effort may be a little too late. I think Denver has the advantage and the overall “win” mentality over the Mavs. Sorry Dallas but im picking the Nuggets in this one.
Boston and New Orleans are tied up in this one as well just as the Rockets/Lakers. Interesting series as well. I think the Celtics can pull it off though but I dont see them defending their championship win last year. I havent really kept up with this series. So I really dont have much to say on this one.
All in all, my picks for the Playoffs as they stand are:
Rockets/Lakers: Rockets winning in Game 7 to win series
Mavs/Nuggets: Nuggets winning the series
Rockets/Nuggets in Final Round
Celtics/Hornets: Celtics winning series
Cavs/Hawks: I predicted the Cavs to sweep….they did
Cavs/Celtics for Final Round
NBA Finals: Clevland Cavs vs. Denver Nuggets
Although I would like to see the Rockets goto another Finals I dont know if that will happen. With my picks made it is still likely the Lakers would win and end up playing the Nuggets. I do feel strongly that the Cavs will win the series up to the Finals and win the Finals.
Who knows…Im just enjoying watching the match-ups!
