Who will win the NBA title?

As some of you may know, I am a Magic fan, but I am asking this question on every teams board (except the teams still in the playoffs) just to get a view of how everyone else feels about the playoffs. Sort of for like personal research type of deal. Provide an explanation if possible.

Thx,
Raw

I placed a bet on LA winning the title. I think it's Cleveland vs Lakers in the Finals and I just see Lakers as being the better team.

Do you guys truly think PHX has a chance to beat us? Unless your poll is a joke you do. If so why? THX.

I think you'll find that was Phx fans doing that. They hung around like a bad smell during our series, posted here more than we do.

FWIW, I don't think the WCF goes more than 6 games, in favor of you guys. They beat a 6 and 7 seed, that's it. They're about to find out the difference between 1 and 3 is pretty big.

It is quite funny to see how overjoyed they were when they beat us....

Well all it does is show how much our success (at their expense) effected them. They're treating it like their championship, which is a risky thing to do. Dallas did that in '06 and look what happened there...

They finally beat the bully big brother, but if they don't go on to win the chip, it was all for nothing.

I mean seriously?

Whatever... if they want to blow their load when they beat us finally as a 7th seed... good for them.

Honestly thou, I can't really blame them.

I think if they're realistic enough, they know that they're not good enough to win the championship, much less gets past the Lakers. Lets face it, getting to the WCF is the best they can hope for and they got it. I mean, I'll be honest myself that if we got past Phoenix, i expect we die at the hands of the Lakers. That's where my bet will be. For the rest of us in the Western Conference, meeting the Lakers in WCF is like our championship because I think no one realistically feel they're gonna beat the Lakers. LA is just a level above everyone else. For Phoenix, getting to the WCF (The Championship for every West teams) and beating the Spurs on their way to it is just as sweet as the real championship. Well, since they have never tasted the Championship before, then I'm guessing it's really as sweet as anything they ever got before.

Can't really blame them for being overly excited.

I think it will be a rematch of last years finals with Orlando winning in 6.
