My playoff bracket:
Lakers are not going into the post-season with a lot of momentum or steam. Hopefully the injuries won't affect them too much and the lack of experience with the Thunder will help them pull through the first round. For the second-round hopefully the Nuggets/Jazz will have beaten themselves up and the Lakers will finish the Thunder a little earlier and maybe get some more rest.
Not a LBJ/Cavs fan at all, but everything seems to have finally lined up for LeBron and I personally think they are the favorites this year. Last year, I didn't think they were ready or what they were made out to be. But with Jamison and Shaq (Allegedly in shape after all this time off :shock
, I think it is enough to potentially put them over the edge.
The West is really anybody's ball-game.
The East will probably come down to Magic-Cavs, but with Shaq and Jamison, that series won't be the same as last year. Shaq will frustrate Dwight. I'm hoping the Heat can make a run and fi the Lakers don't win, I'd like to seem them get to the Finals by some miracle and win. Big Wade fan.
