    Suns vs. Raptors would be off the hook but we would get demolished in 4 games.

    I think the dream Finals matchup would be Lakers vs. Miami, and all the subplots that surround it, but I would hate to have Shaq/Kobe beef shoved down my throat for 4 consecutive weeks, on top of that annoying "RIGHT NOW!" playing between commercial breaks.

    Realistically, I see Dallas vs. Detriot/Chicago, but my heart wants the Suns to win it, and the Suns to be in it.

    Chicago Vs. Denver Nuggets

    To tell you the truth I really don't care who makes it out of the west. I just picked a team who has a realistic chance, and the Bulls could realistically beat no questions asked (imo, not trying to start a debate about it...).

    ^yea, I'd consider Orlando or Washington making it out of the first round a long shot, but the Raptors?

    The Raptors aren't an experienced team. I'd be extremely surprised if they can take 3 games from New Jersey.

    If the Wizards were healthy, I think a compelling (well maybe not since nobody follows the Warriors anyway) matchup would be the Wizards vs. the Warriors. First of all, it would just be extremely compelling if they both made the finals the same year since the Wizards were known as the Washington Warriors by some fans of the Golden State Warriors for a little while since they had Larry Hughes, Gilbert Arenas, and Antawn Jamison (all former Warriors). Also it would be a rematch of the 1975 Warriors/Bullets finals, the last time the Warriors won the title.

    I think an interesting finals would be anything with LeBron James in it from the East and I'll just say the Suns from the West because that team is awesome. So Cavs vs. Suns would be pretty interesting to me. LeBron vs. Steve Nash.

    I don't know, all of the matchups that I have wanted to see in the playoffs are all in the first round, so it's tough to say afterward. I agree that a Suns/Mavericks series would be fun. I am just hoping that it doesn't happen since I am rooting for the Warriors to beat the Mavericks in the first round [​IMG].

    I would really like to see a Rockets vs. Wizards matchup in the Finals. I think that would be quite compelling.

    Wizards? I'd be a great achievement if they didn't get swept, let alone go to the finals.

    Nah, for some reason - I think Nets aren't as bad as everyone makes them to be. They'll get past Raptors for sure ... then they would have Cavs, which I think is not a great team which lacks identity ... LBJ hasn't stepped up as a leader. The only team I think Nets couldn't beat would be Bulls.

    Definitely, that would be an awesome matchup.

    No, are YOU? Wizards are without Arenas and Butler. All they really have right now is Jamison, you yourself thinks that the Cavs will win the series, so I don't know what's got you all riled up. They'll be lucky to pull one or two games out.

    And you think the Nets will get the Raptors for sure? Come on. They MIGHT, but not for sure, and if they do, it'll probably be in 7 games. So you're getting all excited when I say the Wizards will get swept, when you think the Nets are a lock to beat the Raptors? I mean, I respect your opinion, but come on. Let's think about what we say.

    BTW, Wizards are down 2-0 to the Cavs. Am I still sh***ing you?
