Lets hear em. Who you got in the finals, whose winning, whose MVP.
^^^ I am actually sick of all the people who hate Kobe, but especially hate Lebron- and hate all the teams that are suppose to be good- so they go with Durant and the up and coming thunder. Just say "I hate Lebron- Durant had a good year and he is better then him" even though Lebron has a much better all around game.
Personally- I cant wait for the easy picks to be the final 4 or so teams in the playoffs. If it were up to me (not being biased here or else I would want Bulls in Eastern conf. finals) I would LOVE a Boston vs. Heat matchup-winner getting the Lakers. Lakers vs. Boston rematch would be epic and ideal, especially with the new additions to each team and a classic Kobe Shaq match up. Thus- bringing me to my predictions
Kobe and the Lakers win the third in as many years by defeating the Celtics. Surprise pick of Dirk winning MVP as I expect them to get the 2 seed and after the first three games I think LEbron will turn into more of an all around player rather then someone who can just put up mass points. Also-Kobe should win it-but wont put up the numbers. The way Kobe improves his team by pushing them and demanding a lot out of them is what makes the Lakers the Lakers which is why I think the should get it. So no Kobe, No Lebron- Surprise team of Mavs doing work and getting a 2 seed lead by Dirk=Dirk MVP
Down with Durant, Down with the Thunder
Does Lebron really have a better all around game?
KD is a much much better shooter.
he may be the best passer in the game
Is Durant and OKC overrated? I just recently started thinking about this, but what has Durant really done in this league? I knwo he was the scoring leader, but it's not all about scoring. He isn't really that special of a player in other categories, and what is the best thing he did for his team? They were an 8 seed last year, not all that special.
He has took a 20 win team and turned it into a 50 win team in 2 years. Not everyone comes into the league with the Celtics or Lakers. Seattle had NOBODY when he got there. Are you serious? He is what 22? He will definately out due LBJ in titles without having to jump on anyones back.
I like Kobe but how many titles would he win without the Lakers? We saw what LBJ could do with the cavs who arent far off OKC. Dwade was nothing without shaq.
For the record I'm really not a big OKC fan or anything, I just like messing with Dontmisshim. All in good fun though man!
And btw I just saw that the Clippers beat OKC last night. lol

OKC has much more talent then the Cavs.
After watching them last night, I'm not so sure. From what I've read and seen Jeff Green's game hasn't translated quite as well to the NBA as some thought. Past Russell Westbrook and Durant, I don't see much talent on that team. Now granted, Westbrook and Durant are two VERY good players... in fact, I really enjoyed watching them last night. it was Westbrook who took that game over in OT... he is a stud.
I can see your point-especially after watching last nights game. Even if thats all he had by him, its still better then anyone James had last year. However,I think Kristic is about as good as anyone the Cavs had down low-and yes that includes the 20 mins Shaq played. Maybe if shaq played more mins I would give him the edge but a 35 min Kristic brings more to the table then a 20 min Shaq. As for Green- I agree not as good as expected, but still has some talent there. The combination of Green, Sefolosha, James Hardin (who I think is very good and has a solid NBA future ahead of him) and Daequan Cook makes the Guard position all around better then what the Cavs brought to the table.
