We've already witnessed the DeFacto Finals yet again between LA & SA, the only team that could beat them SU is Detroit..IF Pistons could add one or two of either Artest, Odom, or Jefferson?

Pacers too soft defensively, NJ just a lil' too lil' O & D & lack interior, also Det lacking the consistent O.

Shrink collects!

A Laker -130 ticket right now is awesome.

A Laker -160 ticket is total garbage.

I fear I'm wasting my time trying to explain to all why. People want to believe something is going to happen, or it isn't. The truth is that the Lakers are clearly favored, but they are no more a "lock" to win, than say the Red Sox are to beat the Twins in a randomly played game in Fenway.

Fez, are we talking mathematics or matchups?

I think you're a great capper all the way around..PE/Statiscal & Form/Trends,etc..

Mathematically true you are, however matchup wise, I think the Wolves are a legit 2-1 dog to win four games off LA at this juncture..even with the HC.

Just my two cents..as one is cool as a cucumber with experience, while the other sweats nightly before us.

LA would've swept that Sacto paper mache defense..lost one tops.

i really disagree with you here - but i get the point made. as for you and prices - i gave up on that a long time ago - do the same or else you will pound your head on the wall.

now i just laugh when someone posts a pick on a game where the line might be +5 and they say they bought 3 points to make the line +8 -170 and then want us all to applaud them for this move - when in reality it is DUMB - and everyone here knows it. or better yet - when someone posts a pick on a game with a line of like -5, and instead of posting the pick @ -5 -110 they tell us how they are taking that team on the M/L at like -220 (or whatever).

fezzik - there are some sharp cappers here. then again - there are some who aren't and think taking +8 -170 or -240 on the M/L is smart.

Minnesota doesn't figure to be intimidated off going 7-5 (3-1 this season) over Lakers dating back three seasons, some handy wins included. Of course that was reg-season but still...

Lakers have been gaining momentum game by game. Their confidence level figures right up there off beating the co-best team in the NBA, their main rival to boot. Throw out the Spurs, L.A. only other team to win titles past five seasons. Zen Man is now 26-1 last 27 playoff series, impressive any way you shade it.

They will have to pray the shots fall in from downtown because Shaq will have more dunks and easier shots than he did against the Spurs...

I believe that the Lakers Defense will dominate this team and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Lakers win in 5...

Lakers have NO D . If it wasn't for Tony Parker having such a shitty series other than the first 2 then the Spurs would've won! Well guess what Cassell will have a much better series than Parker did and Garnett will drop his 25 a game and Spree will be good for another 15-20! Watch out for Wally downtown! Shaq has to dunk or else he sucks! He will spend alot of time at the foul line in this series,you'll see! He'll cost him the series at the line!

lol, SHRINK & GENERAL, the Lakers are an old man team, Getting by Minnesota will be very tough, then getting by INDY which will beat either Detroit or NJ, will be even tougher cause INDY has young Talent that can play all night long! Reggie Miller finally gets his ring this year!!
