Yeah, we can put to rest the two games that Boston dominated against Kobe and a Pau Gasol less Lakers. Of course during that time the Lakers aren't playing in their highest performance yet and so the Boston just cruised their way so easy. Am I a Laker fan? No! So this finals is probably one of the most grueling one since the San Antonio- Detroit battle couple of years ago. Both are great defensive teams who can also play the up tempo game and setup in half court. The Celtics are star-studded and aging, while the LA has the MVP and depth in bench. Really a grueling one, here are the matchups between each players Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:17:19 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/274092 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/274092 Stephon Marbury right now is thinking that maybe he can also become an MVP with D'Antoni coaching him... but in reality how far is it from going to marbury to nash? 620 degree turnaround?

But you know aside from them, who's talent intrigues you the most? Me I like Bayless' game as well as Chase Budlinger.. I think they maybe the sleepers of the draft.. How bout you guys?

Anthony Carter – Anthony is a great backup guard for any team but as a starting guard? I don't know. Maybe he is in Denver team Dan Dickau/Brevin Knight – They are guards who do not seem to strike fear on their opponents. Sebastian Telfair – Well many people say that this can be great if he has talent around him. Why? Does he have no talent in Minny? Earl Watson – Earl Watson is a backup guard that happens to start. Well he's averaging 9.9 points a game, not bad, but not good for a starting guard. Who's your pick?

Maybe except if they have not waived Darrick Martin. LOL!!! Well, I know there are tons of Raptor fan/hate blogs in the world so Im just gonna put my take why Raptors do not really deserve the second round of the playoffs and they cannot.

Yeah, I guess I even believe at the possibility of a sweep!

What do you think about Wizards upsetting the Cavs? or even Mavs taking advantage of Hornets' lack of experience? What do you think?

This is how a VInce Carter, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James used to struggle at first...

I know many would say that everything they have done this season is a wrong move. Well, I can't argue with that but still I have chosen to be more specific by making the list of failed experiment by the Knicks management in the previous off season and in this season.
