NBA Playoffs - right around the corner
#22
This year's playoffs should be interesting to say the least. Boston didn't exactly have an easy run to the finals last year, which I think battle tested and hardened them for meeting the Lakers in the finals. They may have been a bit beat up, but they were used to being in close, tough games. I think an easy run to the finals for Cleveland would spell doom for them against the Lakers. Cleveland is not exactly full of playoff veterans, especially at the key leadership positions. They need some real "tests" in their playoff run, and with Orlando not looking so great, and Boston minus KG and Powe, no one in the East looks like they are really going to test Cleveland.
The Lakers are going to have a tough run to the Finals. Utah is going to be 5 or 6 games. We will likely get Denver in the next round, which under Billup's leadership is going to be a real tough test. Then it is looking like Portland in the conference finals, which will be a test, but the Blazers are not quite ready from prime-time just yet.

My bad. Shame on me for researching that more thoroughly....
Either one of those are going to be tough. I'd rather see Houston than Portland.
