Are there any basketball fans here? The NBA playoffs have just started and already there have been some crazy moments (San Antonio vs. Phoenix Game 1 anyone??).
Who are you rooting for?
Anyway, hopefully I'm not alone here.

No, you 're not alone Fighting 4Justice. I have been following the playoffs, and I think we are headed toward seeing the Lakers and the Celtics meeting yet again in the NBA Final, something we haven't seen since 1987.
This is the match-up most people want to see, especially the NBA big wigs because it would absolutely be a ratings bonanza. Remember, last year's NBA Final between San Antonio and Cleveland was the lowest rated ever ( 4-0 sweep by Spurs).
The Suns-Spurs series is developing into a classic! I totally expect that series to go the full seven games, but I still have a gut feeling that Phoenix will get by in the end. We'll see.

Man, I'm so pulling for Phoenix. I love Steve Nash and Amare. I have French connections with Parker and the Spurs but they got theirs.
A Lakers/Celtics Final would be ridiculous. Gasol vs. Garnett, Odom vs. Pierce, Allen vs. Bryant. That would certainly kick ass.
I kind of like the Magic too (I'm a huge Dwight Howard fan) though they are playing the Raptors (and as former Torontonian, my loyalties are being challenged lol).
Others I wouldn't mind see do some damage: New Orleans and Denver.

As much as I want to see LeBron James and the Cavs back in the NBA finals, I think it will be a Lakers-Celtics finals.

I'm definitely a Basketball fan! Anyone NOT a Lakers fan here?! lol I mean I like the Lakers, but, I'm just not a huge fan of theirs. I was so upset to see the Warriors lose to the Denver Nuggets, but I know that Nuggets are a superior team. Oh well.
That being said, I do see the Lakers making the finals. I don't know why, I just do.

I can't stand Kobe Bryant, and I think Shaq is great because he does seem to be such a great role model but more importantly he seems to know that there's no i in team unlike Bryant and to be fair to Bryant, other basketball players too.
As for the Championship, I don't think they have any chance on making it back, but I want Cleveland there again.

raises hand
Detroit Basketball fan here despite them being the only better team of their matchup not up 2-0. lol jk
I think Detroit Nuggets are a SOLID team. Too bad they are losing the series. Yeah....I dig Lakers, but not a huge fan of theirs. Since I live in California, I guess, by default, I am sort of a fan. lol
