Honest question: why are the Mavs lackluster this season?
- no more chandler or barea and dirk was out of shape. and odom is underachieveing.fiver

Playoff predictions:
OKC murders Dallas in the first round, Lakers eek out over the Nuggets in a pathetic display of lack of get-it-done by the Nuggets, Clippers hamstring the Grizzlies as they show their weaknesses on the big stage again, Spurs walk over the Jazz. Clippers beat Spurs in a hot showdown, OKC walks over the Lakers, and eventually take the Western title. In the East, Knicks show up for battle vs the Heat but lose control late in the series, no one cares about the Magic or Pacers, Celtics and Hawks will be a battle, and Bulls laugh off the Sixers. Heat and Bulls end up in the Eastern final, with the Heat getting stood up by the Bulls.
Personally, I think a Bulls vs. OKC finals series would be epic. Two very "young" teams with plenty of talent at the 1 through 5 spots, starters and bench. If I had to guess, OKC and Bulls go to six or seven games, with OKC taking the trophy.
- dude this is not accurate at all. OKC walks over Lakers? Pfft. and you know Rose is out right?HijoDMaite
- yeah Bulls would have been nice... but not realistic anymore.Al_dizzle
- I posted before catching up from a week-long lull. Didn't know Rose and Noah were out. Fuck my predictions now.dMullins

CHI vs OKC would be amazing. The 2 teams I'm rooting for.

You know Rose... MVP...

OKC vs MIA in the finals.
I could go either way on who would win it, though.

The Bulls were actually better without Rose when he missed all those games, so I don't know if they even need to worry that much that he's gone. They definitely shouldn't give in and feel like they don't have a chance.

If it's OKC and Mia in the Finals, I would definitely be pulling for OKC. First of all I like to see new teams win, Durant is a nice humble guy, and LeBron is an egotistical maniac.
I never had a problem with him when he was in Cleveland, he seemed pretty normal then, but 2 things turned me off to him big time. During that decision special, when he said, "I'm going to take MY TALENTS to south beach", that just screamed douchebag. And then when they had that big introduction party of their big 3, and he said something like we're not going to win 2 championships, not 3, not 4, not 5... ever since then he's just a villain in the league now and everyone hates him. He deserves it.
Not only that but even if he won in Miami, it would never be the same as Jordan who was a 1 man show in Chicago. He had good players around him, but noone as good as he was. Well LeBron has Wade who is even more clutch than LeBron so he can never get to Jordan's level there.

Miami vs. Lakers

I was about a week behind on news when I made my predictions. With Rose and Noah being out for the Bulls, it's good night Bulls. I see it more likely being a Heat v. OKC finals now. I am equally happy if that happens. Watching the Thunder demolish the Mavs was riveting. If there were an award for stupidest trade decision in a season, Mavs would get the trophy. Cuban got his ring, and that's probably the last we'll hear of the Mavs til they get rid of Ason Kidd and Carter, and do some serious ground-up rebuilding.
OKC over Miami in 6 or 7 games I think. This one will assuredly go deep.
