Well despite everyones sarcastic comments I'm gonna go with the old fashioned Boston-LA Finals. It'll be a good one.

This may just be the worse playoffs I have ever seen.

There have been 31 out of 55 games decided by 11 or more points. And a bunch more by ten points. That is more than half the games.

The West WAS tight this year, which was nice, but at the end you will have LA just walking into the finals probably.

OK, fair enough. There is less parity in the playoffs this year than in most other recent years. But I think at least the Finals can be competitive. Last year's was a romp, but the '08 Finals went six games with the same teams we're likely to see this year.

Yea the Finals itself aren't bad. I should of made myself more clear, just the playoffs are kind of blah. The finals are usually pretty good.

Definitely the Celtics. The Suns still have a chance, but they are going to have to win a game in LA. Lakers still have the edge going in to game 4, but the Suns have the momentum.

Celtics/Lakers is the most likely - but, Celtics/Suns could happen too. I don't see any combination of the Magic/WC champion being the finals matchup.

People have always thought Phoenix is just another easy sweep... hope Suns can come away with a couple more..

No problem. I always allow people to explain their points even if I might disagree with wording or any initial points made. I don't go around starting controversies just to incite or pick battles, I like reasoned discussions even if different opinions are present. That's why I have an awesome relationship with my fiance despite us having entirely different religious beliefs.

Anyway, I do hope the Finals are competitive this year. The only time blow-outs are really fun is if the team you're most partial to wins, but the Thunder are already out of it, so I'm hoping for something competitive. :)
