    OKC will get broken down by SA. It'll be a long series and SA's experience will shine thru in games 5-7. Spurs in 6 or 7.

    Whether its SA or OKC, it'll be tough for Boston to win the title. But if they can get there somehow, anything's possible. I would be shocked if the Cs got swept or even lose in 5 against either team. Defense shines through in at least a few of those games.

    Have the Celtics suddenly become the favorites to win the title? Celtics-Spurs?

    OKC is definitely a great basketball team, but I'm going to go with Fenway on this one and say that I think ultimately SA will prevail.

    I'm seeing either a SA/Boston or SA/Indiana finals.

    Spurs all the fucking way. I have nothing but admiration for OKC, but I think this is another SA year.

    If the Celtics can remain on track and stick to their gameplan and not lose focus, they're certainly a title contender. Also, if KG keeps up his great play as of late. I can't believe how he's playing lately, it's like he's had a injection of what he had back in his Minnesota days.

    He's got a smooth looking shot when he gets it out at the top of the key or on the elbow just inside the three-point line, that's his bread and butter lately.

    add to that i think mike brown is suspect in whether he can coach a championship team ... however, this team can beat any team on any given day ... if they win the next 2 at home ... i wouldn't bet against LA in a best of 3 even with 2 of 3 on the road ...

    Gotta agree with this, but I'm not ready to rule them out entirely.

    Coming back from an 0-2 deficit will be tough for them, considering how OKC has been playing. You can see they've got their eye on the prize and are damned if anything gets in their way.

    Having said that, I also wouldn't completely rule out the Lakers. I think they're a much better home team, and luckily for them, the next two games are in the circus often called The Staples Center.

    phil could get this team to the championship (last year not withstanding...he was burned out) but brown is not a good coach...x's and o's maybe but motivation and reading players isn't his thing...everything i envisioned when he was hired has more or less happened
