Without Garnett, even beating Orlando will be tough. But I've been encouraged by how well Rondo and Big Baby are playing. The big problem is going to be when Perk gets in foul trouble we have to bring in Mikey Moore or play small w/Powe & Baby.

Love the New Orleans call, except that I want Denver. That would be my ideal West Con finals.

Portland will crush Houston in 5...
How is a 39-43 Piston team in the playoffs?

I also don't see the Celts in the Finals, so to root for the Cavs seems like a great compromise. The Mid-West could use a pick-me-up.

I think it's Cleveland this year, although I wouldn't be surprised if KG (or, for that matter, Kobe) turned it on at the end.

L: Just read that KG's out for the playoffs. Yikes.

Returning Conference champs go to game 7's, while Cavs and Nuggets rest.
Celts/Nuggets finals?
