Anyone else inclined to think an Orlando vs. Denver NBA Finals is looming?

[The General]

I have that feeling right now. I want to think that the League wants Kobe Bryant vs. Lebron James, but maybe that is the wrong thought process.

[Crash]

would love to see it if that happens Orlando in 6!!!!

[BouncedCheck]

It's fixed. Everything is fixed. Just try to predict it and win some money. Don't invest yourself in it emotionally because you'll only be disappointed eventually.

lakers and cavs. close games are for entertaining purpose only

[jjgold]

I think it is going to be Orlando vs Denver and NBA then in big trouble.

[Casperwaits]

NBA will not allow it. I truly mean that. No lie. Either Cavs or Lakers are DEFINATELY going. Stern is Vince McMahon in a cheaper suit.

[LT Profits]

I am beginning to feel same way General.

I actually think Denver is already in because Nuggets will not lose another home game this year.

As for Magic, Cavs were in a "statement game" situation last night, and yet they again coughed up a big lead and needed a minor miracle to tie the series.

One thing I will say is that Cleveland has a better chance of regaining HCA by stealing a game in Orlanso than the Lakers do of winning a game in Denver.

i will not count out cavs yet. they havent been playing as a team yet. a substandard ahowing from cavs, orl defense is a laugh. denver reserves, except kleiza are scared. lakers are being kobes team which means it wont take them far if it sticks with same gameplan. have you seen guys, how kobe wants to behead his teammates countless times

Kobe is no better than Melo right now, so there's not much he can do for the Lakers if he wanted to. The rest of the Lakers are just garbage.

[paco]

I see Orlando and Lakers

[onlooker]

Nike is already saying Cavs vs Lakers in the Finals. With those puppet commercials of Lebron and Kobe. So lets keep a eye out for odd things in these two series. Seeing if they try and help out the Cavs and Lakers, if they need it.

[smitch124]

I have finally quit predicting what the **** the Lakers are gonna do, Orlando, tho, seems like a bad match up for the Cavs.

[The General]

Getting closer to reality. Since I have this inclination, I doubt my ability to bet on the Cavs down 3-1.

[Irish Jet]

I think it will be Orlando-LA

Orlando are all but there right now, but I think the Lakers will win their games at home. At home they don't have to rely on Kobe to the extent they do on the road. Kobe stepped up and helped get back home court in game 3, look for the Lakers bench and role players to step up and close the two home games out.

[frostno98]

I remember everybody wanting a Raiders vs Vikings Superbowl, instead we got a Ravens vs Giants. So, it has happened before where the premiere matchup didn't come through.

What? Now your just being silly. 'Melo the thug did exactly what in Game 4?

I can't wait for the Lakers to send this team back to their parole officers.

Horrible post.

Did you watch game 3 at all? Where Kobe took over and lead the Lakers to the win?

[Tsoprano]

I would love to see it

Lebron and Kobe can go fish together

[frostno98]

Horrible post.

Yeah, and I also watched game 4 where Kobe couldn't take over and the rest of his supporting look like crap. Maybe the Lakers return the favor in 5, whothafuk knows with this team.

They accomplished what they needed to do - Regain homecourt. The Lakers are viable to not giving 100% in games, that was shown in the Rockets series, IMO that's what happened in game 4. I'm genuinely convinced that they were satisified to come away from Denver 1-1.

I think they turn it on in game 5 and beat the Nuggets well.

The Lakers bench has ALWAYS been better at home.

[juuso]

Lakers are still about 2/3 faves to take this series IMHO, but Denvers got a shot, no doubt. They are tough at home but they still need to steal at least one in LA.

[Tsoprano]

I think it is going to be Orlando vs Denver and NBA then in big trouble.

LOL, David Stern would be sick.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

I am pretty sure it will be LA/ORL for the championship. With LAL winning in 5. I think the two best teams left are playing in the Western Conference Finals.

Kind of reminds me of a few years back when the Western Conference Championship was almost considered the real NBA Finals.

[RICHIE801]

Shi! I would love to see Nugs V Orl. If Cle does comeback down 3-1 which they won't the league is as real as WWE. Idk if Nugs get another road game, hopin'

Melo cleaned up is act when Chauncey arrived. Cut his hair started dressin different, he seems to be a much better role player, Stephen Jackson is a thug, not Carmelo.
