Anyone a fan of the NBA? If so, what are you favorite team? Mine is the Charlotte Bobcats because their in my hometown and Oklahoma City Thunder because I like Kevin Durant. Also, anyone watching the All-Star Weekend?

Houston Rockets, of course.

Unfortunately I have to record All Star Weekend and watch it starting at about 9 tomorrow, but I'll still watch it, haha.

I'll figure out who's in the events and whatnot tomorrow morning.

My Lakers are getting it together. I Still don't think that any team in the West can beat us in a four to seven games series. It just seems impossible this year. And the two years before. ;P

I want to see Lakers and Cavaliers in the Playoffs, but I have a feeling the Magic are going to upset the Cavs. Heck, the Celtics might get lucky this year and beat the Cavs. I know one thing, the only team in the East that can defeat the Magic is the Cavaliers. The Celtics just don't match up well against Orlando in my opinion. Then again, I hate Boston!

Well I was wrong earlier. Looks like not even LeBron and the Cavs could stop the beating heart of true champions in the Celtics. So far, neither can Dwight Howard and the Magic. However, I believe my Lakers won't lose to them in the NBA Finals this year. Yes, I am pronouncing this because while I respect the Suns and their talent, I just don't believe any team in the West can beat my L.A. Lakers four times out of seven games or so...

Yes, only one or two games. And one of those two games they are going to have to "steal." However, I could be wrong. I also said the Jazz would win one or two games, but they never won one. I knew the Thunder would get two or three because they were young, energetic, somewhat mature, and persistent bunch. We had trouble with playing in their home-court.

As for LeBron, I think that he will either:
  1. Resign with the Cleveland Cavaliers because it is possible.
  2. Sign a deal with the Chicago Bulls because Michael Jordan played there and it would be an honor. He said that he would change his jersey number out of respect for MJ so why not change it at a place where you have no choice considering Michael Jordan's jersey number is retired there. Plus, having Derrick Rose and LeBron James on the same team is a big deal!
  3. Finally, the New York Knicks. The reason I say this is because they would be willing to pay LeBron big amounts of money. Probably coming close to how much the Lakers are paying Kobe, (who by the way is the highest paid player in the league as of now). Plus, if he doesn't want to change his jersey number and wants more money, being on the same team as Tracy McGrady and David Lee wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I hate that people are starting to say that LeBron will go to the Washington Wizards. I just cannot stand the idea of seeing LeBron in a Wizards Jersey. The franchise is close to horrible. LeBron's fanbase may go down considering the Wizards do not get big titled televised games. Unless of course you live in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia area).

As for Dwayne Wade, I do not have a clue. Hopefully, he'll go to whichever team LeBron doesn't go to. May it be the Bulls if LeBron doesn't go there or Knicks if LeBron doesn't go there. I do not want to see this man in a Wizards jersey either. Who knows though, he might resign with the Miami Heat as well as LeBron resigning with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cannot wait to find out nonetheless!

Exactly! If LeBron can't win it with a team like the Cavs, he won't win it with the Nets. Plus, I doubt the Nets would even make it to a Conference Championship even with a Big Three like: Devin Harris, LeBron James, and Brook Lopez.

I think he's done there. He has spent the last two seasons talking about and getting attention. He'll get even more if he moves, and that's what he wants.

And most teams he goes to will be exactly like Cleveland, no really good talent besides Lebron James, which then he still probably won't be able to win a championship.

I think if he can get to the Heat or pair up with someone who has a lot of talent, he could win, but that, in my opinion, would be the only way.

If he goes to Chicago, he will be paired up with Derrick Rose. I doubt LeBron will be the only person being talked about there. Derrick Rose gave it to the Cavaliers in the Playoffs this year. He put up great numbers for his team. He just needs some, "help." The Heat? Who is with the Heat? Dwayne Wade is either going or staying. If he stays, the Heat will not be able to pay both LeBron and Dwayne Wade a good amount of money. Or at least not more than they are getting now.

Yes, they may have some cap room. They just do not have LeWade cap room, ;P

So, with the Lakers up two games over the Suns and Celtics up two games over the Magic, how do you think the series will end in the Western Conference Championship and Easter Conference Championship.

I still think the Magic can win at least two games against the Celtics. I believe Celtics will win one home game, and then lose the other. Magic will win at their home and once back in Boston, they have to take the L. So, I think it will be 4-2 Celtics way. And for Lakers, I see us winning 4-1 versus the Suns to be one hundred percent honest.

Well, considering that the Magic are down 3-0 to the Celtics and the next game is a Road Game, I think they have a higher chance of being swept than the Suns. The Suns are going to be at home tonight and Tuesday so they may pull a win out of one of those two. However, when I look at how great my Lakers have been playing in the Playoffs, it is definitely a possibility that they will sweep them.

The Jazz were a much more difficult team for us to sweep. Almost all of those games were won by only 5 if not less. While we're averaging 126 ppg against the Suns. It is clear to me that the Suns have no answer for Kobe. Double Teaming didn't work. He still put up 21 points and had 13 dishes (assists). First game having 40 points and 5 dishes and 5 rebounds. So, what else can they do? Single coverage won't work and double teaming won't Triple teaming him won't help out either because then that is two people left open.

The thing that should be crystal clear to every single one of us is that it will be Lakers versus Celtics in the Finals. I would talk about who I think will win that series, but I would rather wait until the two current series in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference are over.

Yeah, even though I know honestly that the Suns played a good game, I think anyone who thinks they won because they were playing better is wrong. They won because we were fouling too much. The Suns weren't shooting a better percentage from the field than we were. Everyone on our teacher except Jordan Farmar and Josh Powell I believe had 3-5 fouls. Amare actually made 14/18 of his own freethrows. While his team probably had about 15-20 attempts altogether. And we fouled THAT much but yet only lost 109-118? That shows how good a team we are to me to lose by only 9 points after all that. Oh yeah, did I mention Lamar Odom got fouled out?

As for Orlando, they just won one in Overtime. Looks like all their wins will be close games. I think the Magic will beat Boston at home and then lose once they go back on the Road. (2-4).

While the Suns will lose their next two games, making their series record against us be (1-4).

The NBA finals so far bore me. I wonder who'll be in the finals next year. >_>
