LAKERS UPSET OVER SUNS.. will be tough but i rekon we can do it in 7 games!

i reckon your wrong... raja will dominate kobe.

Bulls to beat the heat, dwayne cant carry them this playoffs

Raptors over nets

Cavs over wizards

Mavericks sweep

Suns easily

Nuggets to upset spurs

Rockets over jazz

Kobe-for-MVP, you are on one hell of a dreamride my friend.. What is the lakers record over the last 30 games of the season?

yer wats there last 2 games running into the playoffs.. 11 point win over seattle and currently a 14 point lead over sacramento. The lakers have proven to everyone they can beat the big name teams and well the playoffs are a different ball game all together. Im not saying there going to go out and dominate the suns or anything because that is never going to happen what im saying is i rekon it will be a repeat of last year but this time we come out on top.

Lakers have 3rd worst record behind Memphis and Boston after the all star break

Bulls
Raptors (revenge against VC)
Pistons
Cavs

Mavs (will be pushed though)
Suns
Spurs (could be pushed)
Rockets

The west is looking fun - I say Mavs v Suns and Pistons v Cavs

Suns v Pistons Final

Suns

Nash MVP

Detroit in 6 ova the magic.
Bulls ova heat,
raptors ova nets,
cavs ova wizards

I dont understand why people are even suggesting that the Lakers will progress against the Suns. All u kobe lovers start chanting M! V! P! coz Nash is gonna tear the lakers a new a@# h$!% along with his buddies raja, amare, and sean.

anon i like the way you put it. Phil and Kobe have proved in the past to step up and they will. records mean nothing when it comes to the playoffs. Did anyone think the lakers would push phoenix like they did last year? huh.

and i disagree Dirk for the MVP in my mind. look wat he has done with dallas, awesome!
Nash plays no D. he is a great player but two is enough for my mind.

will be good to see Vince get up over his old team this play off series

Bulls
Cavs
Jersey
Pistons
Mavs (in 6)
Suns (in 6)
Spurs
Rockets

Dirk-MVP
Barbosa-6th Man
Deng-Most Improved (do they still do this?)
Camby-Defensive

EAST:
MIA vs CHI - Bulls in 6
TOR vs NJN - Raps in 7 (This may be THE series of the first round)
DET vs ORL - Pistons in 4
CLE vs WAS - Cavs in 5

WEST:
DAL vs GSW - Mavs in 7
PHX vs LAL - Suns in 5
SAS vs DEN - Spurs in 6
UTA vs HOU - Rockets in 6

Dirk can only help the team by scoring - - he cant make his teammates better the way nash can. nash is irreplaceable where as dirk's spot on the team could be filled by tonnes of other players in the league and the mavs record would not suffer as a result. also - kobe does get up for the playoffs (as proven) but the suns should still have no trouble. im pumped for raps-nets, vc should get whats coming to him, and i think the warriors are a very dangerous team and could cause upset of the century! great shooting team, great depth, great point guard, great defensive big men, not at all an '8th seed'.

yeah, it's real easy to step up when you have jordan/pippen and kobe/shaq in your lineup.

i wasnt concurring that phil jackson steps up - - i understand he is one of the luckiest coaches in history

and come on. the only reason it took suns 7 games to beat LA last year is because kobe changed his game. now the suns are ready for a kobe explosion or a passing game. he hasn't got any big surprises left

and i was referring to post 130044, not you jules

yeah - i just realised who u were referring to after i posted it - but still...i dont think theres much u can do to slow kobe - hes gonna get his points...the element of surprise is not what kobe does...i cant remember the last time i was actually surprised he scored 50
