    Default Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls!! etc

    Oh wow, this will be MustSEE TV!! LaBron and DWade vs Derrick Rose, doesn't get any better for competition. Even casual basketball fans will enjoy this one.

    Odds seem to have the Heat as favs at -190, but I don't know about that. Chicago is much deeper and more talented off the bench than Miami. The "Big Three" have to do everything, while Derrick will only have to win 1 game by himself.

    Chicago has lots of big men who can defend and score, and big guard/small forward combos to use for fouls as well.

    After the Spurs, I like these two teams the most. I've watched DRosesince he played for Memphis, and he is a special player, very special. Watching him alone is worth the time, but Wade and LaBron are special too.

    ----

    I'm pulling for the Memphis Grizzlies to beat OKC Thunder, mostly b/c no one seems to want them to win. I've been to two of their games this year - San Antonio and Lakers, both the Grizzlies won, so they are for real, and very capable of beating OKC. Grizzlies are also 3-1 vs the Dallas Mavericks, winning their last meeting in March.

    So if the Grizzlies get by OKC, they can compete vs Dallas, although I think Dallas is the better team, with a deeper bench at this stage. Dallas' main problem will be the long layoff they have had. They may be a step slow starting out, having lost that edge with recognition on the defensive end. Defense is harder to get back, and needs more reps that offense does. And Dallas is not known as a defensive team, although this year they have been much, much better.

    The best thing about the NBA is that they have players from all over the world. My favs, of course, are Tony Parker (France-Spurs), and Manu Ginobili (Argentina-Spurs).Tim Duncan is American but was born and raised in the Virgin Islands.

    Dirk Nowitski (Germany-Mavericks) will have to step up his game for sure if the Mavs are going to go to the Finals this year!

    The Spurs are so clinical, always have been. Its like their trademark... similar to Detroit and their D.

    Go the Bulls!

    I have a feeling Miami is unstoppable, but I am rooting for the Bulls in this series! Lets hope you are right about the Bulls deeper bench and better defense, i've been kind of a Lebron hater since the start of the season.

    On the other side, i'm rooting for OKC just because Westbrook and Durant are awesome. I think they are great combination, its very fun watching them play! We'll see what happens in Game 7 tonight!!

    Congrats to OKC for their win. Grizzlies counldn't hit a bucket for anything. They went as far as they could w/o Rudy Gay.

    Mavs are a better team than OKC so they should win that matchup.

    The Bulls were very impressive yesterday against the Heat! Deng was all on Lebron, lets hope this continues!

    Talking about LeBron, has anyone seen that documentary that was done about him "More than a Game"? It is really poignant.
