    Wouldn't that be an amazing story if they won tonight, gutted it out against Cleveland, and found a way to punk the Lakers or Rockets in the Finals? Like Rudy T said: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

    I hope not. I'd rather have any of those teams win rather than the Celtics.

    I'd say no because the Cavs don't choke away leads like the Magic do.

    Also FWIW, I'm hoping the Nuggets or Cavaliers win it this year.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think there's much chance. I think Orlando without Jameer Nelson and Boston without Kevin Garnett are both tier 2 teams and thus it's a good series. I think Cleveland will easily defeat whichever team wins that series.

    I'm hoping the Nuggets give the Lakers a fight in the Western Conference Finals. I don't think they can beat LA in LA, but they're such a tough team to beat at home that if they can steal one in LA, they have a real shot.

    As we closed in on the playoffs, I offered a $20 bet to several of my basketball friends where I'd win with a LA-Cavs finals that goes at least 6 games and they'd win if anything else happens... no one took the bet. Tough economic times loom for the league next year and I suspect Stern will milk this postseason for every last dollar.

    Orlando just won, tying the series. It goes to game 7.

    Ugh...There is nobody I want to see win it this year. I absolutely despise every team remaining.

    No chance at all. They will be lucky to beat the Magic. They wouldn't win more than 1 game against the Cavs.

    The fact Boston is still alive at all is a testament to the power of rigged officiating, so it appears you'd have to ask David Stern.
