The NBA is down to the Conference Finals, as the winners will advance to play for the ultimate prize...an NBA championship.
2nd Season
The Los Angeles Lakers will matchup against the Denver Nuggets, while the Cavs play host to the Magic. I find it interesting that a lot of "experts" and media outlets alike are already pitting the Lake Show against Cleveland for the title bout, but I wouldn't pencil anything in just yet, as the Nuggets are more than deserving to vie for the Western Conference crown with the likes of Carmelo Anthony, and Chauncey Billups.
A Kobe/LeBron series would be the best thing since people started slicing bread, but as Herman Edwards once said, "you play to win the game"...and in this case...the teams have yet to take the floor. However, I promise you that these series will be just as entertaining as the games in the first round. Remember the Chicago/Boston cliffhangers...well prepare to turn off your cell phone, and put the children to sleep, because you do not want to miss Kobe and Carmelo, or LeBron against the Magic.
I'd like to go out on a limb and make a prediction, but that's not my style. A few keys to each upcoming game...Trevor Ariza's defense on Carmelo for the Lakers, and the point guard battle...Mo Williams, and Rafer Alston will determine more than Game 1.
I love this game!

You and me both Primo. I have a lot of family that are rooting for the Nuggs(as usual going against me) so I have a lot of "enemies" this round. But it will definitely be entertaining. I see it already...wow. How much do we love this game? LOL
Godd one Ant.
oh how Detroit must be shooting themselves in the foot (obviously my fav team lol)...as a fan, Im going to blame them ridding Billups as the reason they were eliminated so soon, but who knows...Dallas and Boston upset me as well; especially Boston. The first round they were acting as if they didn't want to win - just sad....I'm in limbo now and just going to enjoy the games; all of my fav teams are out - Det, Dallas, Houston & Boston..*sigh*...GO CHAUNCEY!
These next series are going to be so official. I mean its winner move on to the Finals, and loser go home. I'm so happy for Carmelo Anthony...he never gets the national attention. I hope he plays really well. I'm also interested in seeing which Orlando team shows up in Cleveland?
