Orlando or Cleveland? I'd rather face Magic in the finals. We were capable of beating them in the regular season, I don't see why we shouldn't beat them again. But maybe it's just that I'd be devastated to see LeBron win the title and actually wouldn't feel bad for Dwight/Vince to win a ring.
Cleveland. Nothing would be more satisfying than seeing LeBron leave the arena like he did last year like a little bitch, witnessing Kobe get his fifth ring.
With the way Orlando has steam rolled and destroyed all competition in sight, not so sure I'd be wishing for them... If I remember correctly, we don't have homecourt against either teams. I say let's take care of business first and see what happens. Cleveland and Orlando will both be tough opponents, but like Mamba said, I'm having a hard time envisioning the Cavs beating the Magic, assuming they make it so far. Orlando has just been dominant.
It doesn't really matter to me, but I think we'll be facing Orlando. They've been dominant in the playoffs and have rattled off 13 straight going back to the regular season. They're probably going to finish the sweep of Atlanta on Monday and have a good week off before they face against either Cleveland or Boston, and both of those teams are probably going to be tired.
I want to see the NBA get super popular again. I am rooting for a LeBron vs Kobe matchup. LA vs Cleveland would be epic and extremely entertaining. The league deserves a beast matchup like that and I am rooting for it.
I'm hoping for an LA-CLE finals, coz even though we beat ORL in the season but lost to the Cavs, the Magic are playing out of their minds right now. I don't wanna face them at all. And like most of you guys here, I doubt the Cavs could get by Orlando.
Orlando. We'll have a tough time against cleveland and i can't stand shaq helping lebron win his 1st ring. All in front of kobe.
I really want to play the Celtics again. This would be the most entertaining matchup for me. Plus we get homecourt advantage. Kobe vs. Rondo Gasol vs. KG Artest vs Pierce I'm not sure how great a Laker vs. Cavs series would be. There'd be an overkill of the Kobe's Finger vs. LeBron's Elbow and the whole Shaq-Kobe rehash. I'd prefer Lakers vs. Magic again if the Celtics can't make it out of the East.
That's the boat I'm in. I HAAATTTEEEE LeBron sooo much (like I'm sure many of you have noticed) and would enjoy nothing more than for him to fail miserably this round.
I thought they could last year, but this year Orlando has been a BEASTTT in the playoffs, winning atlanta by an average of 29, but Cavaliers are head-to-head with Celtics and it's going to 7 games most likely
Well, King played in 3 games against Orlando this year. Went 2-1 and won in Orlando, so it is definitely not a lock for the Magic.
Magic was not the team in the regular season that they are today imo. During the season they didn't look like contenders at all at some points, but as the season ended, they got stronger and now have been the most confident team of all in playoffs. I'd say they have the upper hand as they face Cavs. So I think regular season doesen't show much but yeah, it's far from being a lock for Magic
Even if the Magic beat the Cavs it'll be a close series imo. I get shades of 2009 Cavs with the Magic, so we'll just have to see. I think the Cavs have a better roster this year and Jamison solves some problems.
