Barring injury I got lakers against the heat/Boston in the finals.. Early prediction.

Go Underdogs.  any of them.  about 28 to choose from.

+1

[olafberserker]

and let me just get it out there now .... the refs cheat, NBA wants LA to win, (insert Magic player here ) never gets any calls, games are fixed  ......

[bucsquad]

Irving continues to impress, I'm hoping the Cavs can make the playoffs.

[Bucs_Rule]

I really do not think the lakers stand a chance this year of winning a ring since they have 0 depth on the bench. Oh and btw, Nash just hurt himself today.

Harden got off last night! Gonna try to pick him up in my fantasy draft tonight.

I see big things coming from Kyrie Irving and and immediate impact by Anthony Davis... But Lebron and my Heat are getting another title. That team is built to perfection by adding the 2 perimeter shooters in Lewis and Allen

[tripblood]

Hopefully the Clippers, Jazz, or Thunder will be competitive with the Lakers. Lakers bench is pretty weak, so if injury strikes the Lakers could be scrambling.
