Simple question.

I think we make the WCF.

Well, assuming we get out of the 1st round, our second round opponents looks like an easier opponent than Dallas. Phoenix or Portland. So if we beat Dallas, I expect us to beat either Phoenix or Portland. If LA gets to WCF (meaning they're playing well again) and we meet them, I think we don't make it past LA. So WCF is where we stop. Ofcourse if someone upsets LA and we meet either OKC, Utah, or Denver instead, then yeah I'll be expecting Finals.

I just think there's 2 teams that is definitely better than us. That's LA and Cleveland. If we meet them in WCF or the Finals, I don't think we get past them. But if we don't meet them, I'm expecting we advance every single round.

Pretty fair assesment...if we ge past Dallas i think we make the WCF.

I concur.

If we can get past Dallas we should have a pretty good shot at beating the Suns, because lets face it without Roy the Blazers are not going anywhere.

Nothing would surprise me this year, first round or a finals appearance...I'm not so confident about another title.

Cleveland looked really good the other night. Out of all the teams played they looked the most together. Anything can happen in the playoffs but I think we get past Dallas.

Cleveland is definitely the favorite. They got chemistry, size, length, depth, shooting, low post scoring, defense, athleticism, physicality, quickness, and most importantly Lebron James. The only team that can match that is LA.

Unless they meet LA (where they might have some trouble), the Cavs might just steamrolled through the playoffs for a title.

How can LA match them in terms of depth? Cle are 2 deep at each position. LA starts Fossil Fisher and has a bench that includes Luke Walton and Vujacic.

And what does "might just steamrolled" mean? Makes no sense.

Well you add Odom to that bench and it isn't all that bad but CLE is a much better team all the way around. Plus they will have an easier way to the championship game from the East. They'll sweep round 1. Probably 5 in Round 2 and 6 games in the Conference Finals.

thats 15 games vice 19 games LA will play.

The chemistry, length, depth, etc applies to Cleveland. IMO, LA does not have the right chemistry judging by their late season struggles and comments from players and while they're not 10 deep like Cleveland, they don't play 10 guys anyways. They basically play 8 with Farmar splitting minutes with Fisher and Shannon Brown whatever minutes is out there at the guard position. the SF-PF-C rotation is always between Bynum, Gasol, Artest, and Odom. Probably should've said "bench" more than "depth".

I listed like 10 things up there and no team has those things more than LA.

As far as just the Might Just Steamrolled, I meant to say Might steamrolled through the playoffs. I was going to say Will just steamrolled but didn't want to make such bold predictions so changed it to Might steamrolled but forgot to erase the Just.
