What would be the most equal finals match in '08-09'

[dockingsched]

It's got to be the Sixers/Lakers. Everyone remember the buzz in 2001? While Philly doesn't have Allen Iverson. It does have one of the most complete starting lineups in Philly recent history. And the Sixers D would be a great matchup for the Lakers O. Sammy doesn't matchup well to Bynum, but Brand can handle that. And Sam can try his hand at Gasol. Offensively the Sixers potentially have 3 15 PPG guys.

It'd be a historic series and alot more tight then the Boston/Lakers. It may have been "4-2". But it could've easily been 4-1.

first you think brand is a great post scorer when he's heavily reliant on his midrange jumper and now you think he can guard legitimate centers? expectations are too high in phily for brand.

Hawks vs. Warriors
Detroit vs. Houston
Toronto vs. Dallas

Sixers would get lit up... in fact, nobody's stopping LA if they stay healthy.

Sixers vs. Jazz would be real fun to watch. Okur trying to stop Brand and Sammy trying to stop Booz. Deron isn't overpowering Dre Miller and Iggy would have a hell of a time getting past Kirilenko. Then you have uber athletes Young and Brewer flying around the court.

The marquee matchup becomes Kyle Korver vs. Kareem Rush.... Ashton returns for revenge.

This would be a really good matchup, Miller plays really well against Williams and the matchups down low would be fun to watch.

Denver Nuggets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers.

Both teams have different style of play, but the different matchups would make for an interesting series. The first thing that probably pops up in your mind when you see that matchup is that LeBron will torch the Nuggets. That may happen, but the Cleveland Cavaliers usually have a hard time against fastbreak teams. The high scoring offense of the Denver Nuggets could balance things out with LeBron's dominance on the court.

Jazz and Hornets would destroy Pistons and Magic..
