very understandable, but as a Laker Fan I would welcome playing them with no problem.

so you just listed all possible matchups instead of just saying "all possible matchups"

the best IMO are:
Lakers-Suns (DAntoni vs. Jackson part III)
Suns-Spurs (Suns want revenge)
Spurs-Mavs (Spurs want revenge)
Warriors-Mavs (Mavs want revenge)

Those are the most intense cuz both sides have history.

Some people may not have seen all the possible match ups if I didn't type it out. Some of the match ups could've slipped their mind, right?


But I must say I like the idear of my Lakers facing the Suns in the first round and that could make one hell of a Conference finals too.

Warriors/Jazz matchups would be hella boring. The Jazz would probably outrebound us by 30 boards a game, but only beat us by 2-4 points a game. Just like last year. lol.


I wanna see Warriors/Suns, Warriors/Rockets and Warriors/Mavericks. If the Warriors are on their A game, then i'd like to see a Warriors/Spurs matchup as well.

I wanna see another Suns/Lakers matchup. I would definitely want to see a Hornets/Lakers matchup, the young Chris Paul vs. veteran Kobe Bryant... team player vs. "ballhog".

Mavericks/Spurs. Nuggets/Hornets. Hornets/Blazers. There's all kinds of crazy combinations.

But overall i'd like to see a Warriors/Rockets series. I wanna see Harrington run Yao Ming out of the building again.
