Lakers. You'd win either one but I think the Clippers would be more of a challenge. And Maggette will be back won't he? I hope one of those teams pulls off an upset though.
I would actually say the Clippers. They are poor defensively and don't have any superstar though Brand is pretty good at times. If Kobe Bryant is on fire the mavs are in trouble and Odom does a good job on Dirk.
Clippers have more of a soild line up, not just based around 1 specific player. Clippers would be harder to win agianst and a biger challange. Kobe and his b1tches cant win 4 games agianst Mavs
Disagree Mavsfan, strictly because one guy can't beat the Mavs in a 7 game series. Clips are more of a team, and will get better with Maggs returning. Also, their adding vets to the team for the playoff push. Their more ready then the Lakers, and more of a threat for that.Also, can't we say Hornets as a possibilty too?
Hornets, Rockets, and Kings can but the thread is "If the Playoffs Started Today and the Clippers and Lakers are 5 and 8 for now. I forgot about Maggette so I guess Clippers would be harder but the Lakers aren't going to be easy either.
