Who is the X-factor in the Los Angeles-Denver series? Trevor Ariza. When Ariza is making threes it opens up the Los Angeles defense and allows Kobe Bryant to drive the ball much easier. Derek Fisher has struggled offensively, meaning its up to Ariza to pick up the slack. In game seven [...]

    Jamestime1,Man you ain't even lying on that Denver is for real and I wouldn't be surprised if they Beat Kobe and the Lakers after watching that Houston series...LeBron and the Cavaliers are finally gonna be tested and it should be interesting..I'll go out on a limb and say the Cavs beat the Magic in 6,while the Nuggets shock the World and beat the Lakers in 6...Phil Jackson and his Lakers are to cocky at times and against Chauncey Billups and the Denver Nuggets it might be what keeps the Lakers from the title..

    I expect Kenyon Martin and JR Smith to blow their stack and foul out or get ejected in multiple games. Chauncey will be a better match up for DFish, but will get plenty of good looks as Fish will continue to be the weak point in the Laker defense. If Big Drew and Pau stay health and active in the paint, this will negate Denver's marginal post game and make Denver take all their shots from mid and long range. Carmelo, a 30 something percent shooter during the season will get his numbers on 10-28 shooting, which we can live with. The big key will be bench play. Birdman plays like Rodman. Shannon Brown is a pogo stick with a good shooting touch. This will be a good series.
  • I don't get why everyone thinks the Cavs are going to roll over the Magic. They just won a game 7 IN BOSTON. Cleveland beat a horrible Piston team and an overrated Hawks team. Not saying Orlando will beat them, but its not going to be a sweep.

    As far as the West, the X factor is Bynum. If he plays well, Denver does not stand a chance.
  • Both conference finals are up for grabs. Stars have to shine without taking away from the team. Lets crown the king. Lebron is the man no matter what happens. If Lebron had half the team any of these other guys had it would be lights out. Lebron is as dominate as shaq and Kobe together. He physically can do what no other player could. He is a combination of many great players and he will be a champion with multiple rings.
