didn't say it was. But you penciling in Miami for the title so assuredly is pretty ridiculous.

At this point, I wouldn't count any team out. Even though I love how Dallas is playing, I think they'll have some matchup problems against Memphis.

Yeah you're right. nobody can beat Miami. I mean lets just ignore that Miami is 0-2 against Dallas and 0-3 against Chicago this season. Obviously Miami is unbeatable.

Sorry for the mini-rant below. I'm venting my frustrations with the horrible end of the year by LA.

I say SCREW Gasol for the stuff he did. Which is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Seriously GO BACK TO SPAIN! We need to begin rebuilding... already. after 3 years, gasol leads the lakers to get swept by the mavs. everyone else did all they needed to. Bryant, Bynum, Artest. Well, maybe no the defense on Dirk, but still. At this point, im being mocked at school (live in NJ, die hard laker fan) and lose hope in the Lakers... excuse me, Pau Gasol. Trade him, get rid of him, I DONT CARE. just make sure he finds a new team to choke on. thank you have a nice day.

If Miami does beat Boston and likely meet up with Chicago in the ECF, its going to be a bloody series that'll probably go to 7.

Miami is playing great but Chicago matches up well against them.

So like 20 hours before the game starts I questioned Kobe's teammate's toughness and will to win and got trashed. Now everyone seems to be on the bandwagon.

Seriously though, i think lakers should trade gasol and look for any young talents, shooters, a goddamn point guard, and hopefully contend next year.

If not, blow it up.

Lakers really need point guard help too. Its pretty painful having Fisher getting owned by 80% of the opposing point guards they face.

I still think Boston will take the series.

As for the Mavs... well I'm glad to see I was right for a change They're ridiculously underrated, and so is Nowitzki. Combine this with Kobe being ridiculously overrated, and you have a sweep and a blow out

But more seriously, I don't understand why Kobe went in chucking mode from the start. It's not like the Mavs won by a lot in the previous games, why didn't they keep the same game plan? Ok Gasol was horrible, but Bynum was the best player for LA. How could they give him so few touches!

Chicago's 3 wins over Miami were by a combined total of 9 points, so it's hard to draw conclusions from that.

How ungrateful. Do you even remember where you guys were before the Gasol trade? We'll trade you Gasol for Richard Jefferson and Matt Bonner if you want.

In all the games this series, the same thing has happened. Kobe makes a few jumpers and thinks he can make them all game.

But Kobe really hasn't played that badly this series. Been pretty efficient in his scoring.

Laker defense has been terrible though. Part of it is Dirk's awesome passing and awareness but still, lakers have been very lazy on closing out on shooters.

Sorry but I think you must have watched a different game as I did. The defense of the Lakers was just horrible. They practically did nothing to stop Dallas from scoring those 3-pointers. And to put all the blame on Gasol is just stupid. You can't blame him for literally every Laker missing the easiest shots and for Bryant trying to do everything on his own and thus passing way to late to the others.
Life is to give and take. You take a vacation and you give to the poor.

Winner of the Mem-Okc will win the finals!! I really didn't see an East team possible winning the title but it is plausible to think about now...but still I am thinking west just has to take it

I really did not see a sweep coming. Hopefully the Celtics and the thunder can bounce back. I still want to see a Bulls Thunder finals!

Haha...Laker fans are spoiled. Seriously. Gasol won them 2 championships and is going through a rut. I'm all for standards, but rather than encouraging him in the off-season, they rather toss him aside and aim for yet another superstar. This is the exact mentality of why Lakers fans are stereotypically disliked by other communities.

Keep in mind Gasol is an All-Star caliber player. He did not play like one since the first half of the season, but it's in there somewhere.

I'm a Nets fan btw so it's not like I'm some Mavs fan heaping it on lol

If Dallas meets OKC, Dallas will probably win.

If Dallas meets Memphis, it could go either way in a hard fought series.

Dallas and Miami are still the 2 most impressive teams in the playoffs. So far it looks like a trip to the finals is theirs to lose. They are the teams to beat right now.
