This will be great series, Washington might benefit from being the underdogs and Arenas will explode in a few games to keep them close, but the Cavs are a better team.

Arenas will explode in a few games?? Dude, have you not heard?? Gilbert is out with a knee injury along with Caron Butler. The earliest he can be back is the Finals. The Wizards have no chance and will be lucky to win 1 game without him and Butler.

I like the Rockets chances against the Mavs more than against the warriors.

On Rockets-Jazz. I think many fans here are giving Utah way too much respect. Personally, I think them or the Lakers will be the closest things to easy outs in the WC. Even our friedly Nugget fan doesn't see the Jazz having much of a chance. The Jazz are really struggling, have no superstar to give them leadership, and are playing on the road. If the Rockets need more than 6 games to despose of them this is a bad sign for the Rockets.

On Phx-Lakers. Phx won the last 3 games of that series last year to advanced 4-3. This year Phx is MUCH stronger (Amare and Thomas back, Barbosa has just further developed) and the Lakers are slightly worse and much more tired. No contest.

On Heat-Chi. Chicago has to be going in on a real sour note, lots of pressure on that team. The Heat actually have a deeper roster than last year, with Kapono more productive and adding Eddie Jones. The Bulls actually played the Heat real well last year (shot 40% from 3) while they were loosey goosey and with no pressure, and that was before Wade and the Heat got rolling, and the Bulls still lost in 6. I don't expect the Bulls to play as well, I think Wade/Shaq will play with a lot of pride until Detroit probably wears them out, and I think Wade/Shaq win in 6.
