That is if Cleveland can get past Orlando after they beat the Celts
The Celts/Magic series will go seven but no way Orlando beats the Celtics in a game seven back in Boston. Heart of a Champion!!!
Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
If Boston gets by Orlando, does Garnett pull a Willis Reed and come back for the Conference finals?

Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
i dont think so because they still couldnt beat the cavs this year imo. the celtics wont risk his future for a series that they probably couldnt win anyway. would he be anywhere near game shape?

Being a realist, I pretty much agree with this post but the Cavs WILL lose their first postseason game this year in this series. NO SWEEP!

i agree d&c that this series if played wouldnt be a sweep. probably 4/1 or 4/2 possibly.

Well, things didn't work out like I wanted but it was a good run. Danny Ainge has some work to do in the off season; a lot of personnel decisions to make. In the meantime, we still have those 17 banners hanging in the Garden.

Cavs sweep Magic
Nuggets over LAL in 6
Cavs 4, Nuggets 1
King James ... it's official!
Offseason Bombshell: Lebron, Kobe, D-Wade, Dwight Howard all go to Italy for the big bucks!

cavs could be in for a long or short series if they play like they did in the second half of wed's game 1. wow, that was almost unbearable to watch. exactly why they need a true point guard.

Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
in the west it is denvers to lose. in the east, it is now up for grabs. i thought cleveland would cruise easily but with the bench deciding to take this series off and lebron doing all the ball handling, im starting to think it will be a nuggets vs magic finals. stern would love that.
no lebron, no kobe. it would be a great series though. look for the officiating to lean slightly to the lakers and cavs way from here on out to try and get the matchup the nba wants.

Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
cavs are done. magic vs nuggets? wow. now, go out and get a free agent true point guard to let lebron roam free. we've seen what chauncey billups has done for denver. the same could be the case in cleveland. no has-beens either, they already have mo williams and wally world. is deron williams a free agent?

Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
Yeah, it looks like the Cavs are toast.
Mike Brown is just guessing right now, partly because his personnel is now playing down to its level. What would this team's record be without Lebron? Would they even make the playoffs?
The Magic looks like they want it more than the Cavs.
Flip a coin in the Lakers-Nuggets series.
The Lakers have no balls. But I don't know if Denver's players are smart enough to take advantage of that. Too busy pounding their chests.
I don't think Deron Williams is a free agent. This is just his third season. I don't think Utah will let him get away easily, though.

deron williams being a free agent is wishful thinking on my part.

Re: NBA Finals what will be the matchup?
The Magic are playing much better team ball. But they are vulnerable...they go through hot and cold streaks during nearly every game. The Cavs have been exposed..a one-trick team. Man, if Kevin Garnett had not been injured, the Celts would be cruising to a repeat right now!
