Orlando, Lakers, and Suns all up 3-0 in the 2nd round which is supposed to be the compeitive round and we have three teams about to get swept?

I never met any fan unless it's their team who wants to see a sweep. Sweeps shortens the postseason which is a bad thing.

Im happy Orlando is about to sweep through the first two rounds. I remember how well that worked for the Cavs last year. Not very well lol. So Im hoping the Cavs can flip that on the Magic this year. Im really suprised at the Suns though. I hope they beat the Lakers in the WC finals.

I think The Hawks will fire their Coach after the next game and driftwood Joe Johnson will be traded.

Ha Driftwood, Zinger!

David Stern needs to go now! after watching this lakers series I am conviced that he has the fix in for his dream market match ups.

Ever since the draft balls were moved behind closed doors I have no trust in him.

No sweep occurring between Cleveland and Boston which is a real surprise.

In my heart I want Lebron to play in the finals & think Cleveland will defeat Boston. But any matchup between either the Celtics or Cavs against Orlando is going to be tough. Superman 1\ Shaq against Superman 2\ Dwight Howard will be great basketball. My hate for Boston wishes that the Celtics match up against the Lakers in the finals but that is unlikely this year and a good chance that neither team will make the finals this year. If the Suns win the western conference they will get slaughtered against whoever emerges in the east.

What's your opinion?

As a basketball fan 3 out of 5 of the teams that I usually love are in it still in these playoffs. My favorite teams in order are...

Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
L.A. Lakers
Phoenix Suns
Golden State Warriors

So by saying that, I want Orlando to get to the finals and win because I just moved from Orlando and got attached to the team, but if they face L.A. or Phoenix and lose I wouldn't be too disappointed because I always go for those teams too. I think Orlando and L.A. will be back in the finals, but if Phoenix keeps playing the way they do I think they might surprise the Lakers if they play them next round and end up in the finals to get beat by Orlando.

I just don't see Cleveland beating Orlando this year. Orlando is too deep this year and have too many offensive weapons along with Howard's rebounding and shot blocking and the team defense they show. To be honest I don't like Cleveland or Lebron that much. I think Lebron is a great player now, but I hate how they hyped him up even before he left high-school as if he was the next Jordan. Kobe has proven he deserves his place and D-Wade has too by playing hard and gaining respect.

Lebron has shown his skills but since he was so hyped up he will never get my respect until he wins a title because I just don't agree with them promoting people like that.
