Either the Lakers or Spurs
will win the NBA Championship. They're the only teams taking the playoffs seriously, with the possible inclusion of the Hornets. The Celtics, Pistons, Jazz, Suns, Mavs and the rest are just pretenders.
The Celtics should be ashamed of themselves for losing two in a row to the Hawks. |

But you're right, the Lakers or Spurs will win it I believe.

A month ago I was considering going to Wendover to put money on the Lakers winning it all. I would still wager on the Lakers, although the odds are probably not in my favor as much.
It's hard to bet against the Spurs, but Kobe is very hungry, he has Gasol semi-healthy to help him, I just don't see them losing. |

The real NBA Championship will be the Western Conference Finals.

While Atlanta aren't world beaters, I watched that team the last two games and tried to figure out how they are 8 games under 0.500
Has Bibby made that much of a difference? |

Everyone on CB is slagging the Lakers sweep....maybe because it makes them feel better? The bottom line is that the Lakers are playing pretty well right now and I think have a nice chance against the Jazz next week (not making any promises on that one, though).
Personally, I have observed Kobe to be focused and has his teammates believing. You can see it in their faces. They loves passing as much as making a basket. They support each other. I think many will recognize over the next few weeks. That being said, I am still not ready to write off the Celtics. There is a big difference between being beatable and being beaten.

Kobe is playing great right now. They would be very good with Bynum. As is, they are beatable, particularly since they are so beat up right now (though the extra day of rest will help them). |

I am always amazed when I meet a Lakers fan. It's like meeting a devil-worshiper. I just can't conceive how anyone could root for that team.
