   I’m a homer. I admit it. After a large move by Danny Ferry to unload the 30 mill in expiring contracts, the Cavs win the East and meet the Spurs in the Finals. This time, the Cavs not only win a game, they win 4.

   King James thus stays in Cleveland forever.

   I know this is a late response, but I’m bored…
   West:
   1 Lakers def. 8 Mavs
   2 Rockets def. 7 Blazers
   3 Hornets def 6 Suns
   5 Spurs def. 4 Utah

   1 Lakers def 5 Spurs
   2 Rockets def 3 Hornets

   1 Lakers def 2 Rockets

   East:
   1 Pistons def 8 Heat
   2 Celtics def 7 Wizards
   3 Cavs def 6 Magic
   5 RAPTORS def 4 76ers

   1 Pistons def 5 RAPTORS
   3 Cavs def 2 Celtics

   3 Cavs def 1 Pistons

   Lakers defeat Cavs in one of the most entertaining battles we’ll have seen in our lives. Both Kobe and Lebron will pull their team out of the gutter to win one game with amazing 20-30-point fourth quarters.

    Lakers go versus Cleaveland in the finals with (4-1)
    the Cavs have noting against the lakers James doesn’t
    Want to guard Kobe And lebron is the team but the lakers
    If Kobe gets hurt they still can beat the cavs but if lebron gets hurt
    The Cavs are finished. Without lebron they are nothing a good
    Player can’t win the finals.
