Now we know the two conference final matchups. In the West a very good match up between the Nuggets and the Lakers. Then back in the East the Magic play the Cavs.
Nuggets vs Lakers- This is going to be a good high scoring series. I think the Nuggets are playing the best basketball of anyone left right now and can beat the Lakers. Now the Lakers did take 3 of 4 from them in the regular season. The Lakers had to use a lot of energy in the last seres and only get one day to rest. We saw what happens after a tough seven game Series tot he Celtics against the Magic. But i'll still take the hot Denver Nuggets in 6 to win.
Magic vs Cavs- If you like defense this will be your series. These are the top two teams in defense this year. They both have players who can be dominante and the Cavs have had a LOT of rest in the playoffs. The Magic took two out of three from them in the Regular season series including a 29 point victory towards the end of the year. The Magic pose threats for the Celtics even though they play the best D on three point shooters. I know i will sound like the biggest homer ever but even some of the experts think the Magic will win and i say they win this series in 6 also

I really think that the finals will be the Nuggets Magic because of the way they are playing now. The Cav's have played softies and now they are up for a real test and I don't think they can handle it. The Lakers are to inconsistant and the Nuggets aren't so that will be the key to this series is how Lamar Odom plays in this series. If he plays good then the Lakers win, but if he plays like he did last series the Lakers will lose the series.

What a Game last night. I can't believe the Magic won that game. They won it Offense and hitting shots in the Fourth and keeping LeBron some what contained in the fourth

It was a good shot considering what was going on at the time. I actually can't believe he was that close to hitting it. He was drifting to the right and hit the back rim so it was very close.

Yeah. and i mean the Cavs lost that game. The Magic didn't win it. It's the fact that no one else stepped up for the Cavs and left it all to Bron and he can't always do everything. If that happens again they'll keep on losing

Hey all Stan has to do is make sure the role players for the Cav's don't get invovled in the offense and guess what he has this series won for the Magic.

The Nuggets are for real, no matter how much ESPN and others would like to see a Kobe-LeBron finals, including the officials as Kobe was just getting every possible call last night.
Denver is not going down without a fight, and is great shape to potentially take this series.
I could easily picture them taking both games at home.
Now the East.
I'm not sure what happened with Cleveland in game one. Maybe they were banking on Orlando just phoning it in for game one giving how battered they were coming off the seven game series with Boston. Orlando is a team though that may have learned how to fight after that series with Boston. They seemed like a much more experienced team after game 5, and maybe they are.
I didn't think Orlando had much of a chance in this series, but after last night, and with the way Orlando looks right now, maybe they have a better chance then I gave them.
I still like Cleveland, but I'm giving Orlando some more respect then I had originally after seeing what they did last night.
Hey pmoehrin the Magic have beaten the cavs two out of every three times they played eacho ther this year. So the Magic know how to contend with the Cavaliers. Kobe is the golen boy so he will always get all the calls. But heres where the advantage for the Nuggets comes into play. Chauncey Billups has been dminant and impossible to guard for the Lakers. Derek Fischeror Jordan Farmar can not stop this guy. Chauncey is stronger and faster and the Lakers also are having inconsistancy in there frnt line. Lamar Odom is just dismal once again he is the most inconsistant player in the NBA. Carmelo has gone off after his 34 point performance thats his seventh thos postseason and Chris Anderson and J.R. Smith enough said right there. Denver goes up three one by the end of memorial day weekend. The Magic go up two one but the Cavs will get game 4.

I mean the cavs are pretty much Lebron and maybe Mo Williams if he decides to shoot well. Thats not going to beat Orlando. Orlando has the mis matches every where on the cavs and the Cavs have no bench what so ever. The Magic will win this series. The cavs just got lucky Lebron hit that shot to win game two and should be dwon 2-0 coming down to whats a Hostile enviornment in Orlando. If the cavs pplay like **** down the stretch and only have lebron producing they won't win it
