If you had to bet today who do you put your money on?

Big 4 (Lakers, Celtics, Blazers, Cavs) or the Field?

The only team outside of those I really like (and by those I mean Boston and LA) is San Antonio, if they can get healthy I don't think you can ever count them out. It's also an odd-numbered season this year

You could drop it down to Lakers/Celtics and I'd take those two against the rest of the league. Surprised you listed the Blazers in there.

Lakers over Cavs in 6. Book it.

The Blazers are in the "Big 4?"

No way. That's 2010. I want the Celtics first.

Careful what you ask for.

Not this year homey.

Lot of basketball to be played.

June will be here before we know it. And so will my 2009 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers T-Shirt.

Did you ever get the 2008 one that you preordered?

so I guess we can substitute Portland for Orlando in the OP

as we head into all-star break who's going to miss the playoffs in the West? it shocks me to think Utah could miss...I thought they'd be in the top half for sure but I suppose the Boozer and Deron injuries hurt the team.

I think Dallas is most likely to fall quickly if any of Nowitzki, Terry, Howard or Kidd go down.

I think if Orlando can get home court all the way they have a decent shot

No way Orlando is beating Boston.

^^
Dead to me.

If the Hawks had had home court last year they would have beaten Boston

If my mother didn't meet my father I wouldn't exist. I don't believe in if's.

Last Year isn't this year. And I'd still give the Hawks more of a chance to beat the Celtics this year than the Magic. Teams that live and die by the three don't win championships.
