These playoffs are going to be a mere formality for the Cavs and the Lakers as they make their way to the finals. The Cavs cruised to a 4 game sweep of the Pistons and the Lakers pounded the Jazz to a 4-1 series win there. I just can’t see other teams really stepping up and challenging either of them.

However, if I was going to pick a team to give one of these guys fits it would be the Nuggets causing the Lakers all sorts of problems. The Nuggets have size, depth and athletes and they have a great point guard as their leader. Chauncey Billups has literally changed this team into a contender and it showed last night more than ever. The Nuggets beat the Hornets by 58 points and it was that bad. The Nuggets will be able to run with LA and have the athletes to really cause problems. LA won’t sweep them but they’ll gut out the series win.

In the East, the Cavs are the class right now. With KG sitting for the Celtics they are missing that one piece of the puzzle that would get them past the Cavs. Instead KG is hurt and the east just isn’t going to put up much of a fight against Cleveland. The Cavs hold the best home and away record in the league and Lebron is hungry for his title. If the Cavs can win a title with this team it would be amazing because the Lakers have more overall talent and pieces. Even the Nuggets have more overall talent but the one thing they don’t have is Lebron and he might be enough.

I think the Lakers win it all in 6 games believe it or not.
