The Lakers look very tough, however, I think it will be the Cavs this year. Lebron is hungry and the Cavs seem to be gelling very well. I think the key difference is the home court advantage.

lizzard said...

THANK YOU MATTHEW...I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!! The Lakers are an awesome, tough, hard working team... BUT I really think it's Cleveland's year to shine, especially Lebron!! & the homecourt advantage for the Cavs doesn't hurt, after all, we are the craziest, loudest, most devoted fans anywhere!!! GO CAVS!!!!

nee-nee said...

its all about da LOS ANGELES LAKERS:]

Lizzard said...

SO MUCH FOR THE LAKERS!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO KOBE LAST NIGHT????

Kusodomo said...

100% the cavs will
cause Lebron is the shyt
and the nba is fIXED

Lizzard said...

BLAH...BLAH...BLAH.... NOTHING BUT EXCUSES FROM Y'ALL CUZ YOU KNOW LEBRON IS THE MAN & Y'ALL JUST MAKING EXCUSES FOR KOBE!!!!!

mark philip said...

Lakers is deeper than Cavs, Lebron is very good as individual but Lakers is better as a team.

ronnio said...

ithink the Lakers are a very strong team inside the paint but all i have to say is Cleveland has the MVP Labron James who is inpossiable to stop and not even the old man Kobe can slow him dowm because Labron is to strong and to fast for anybody in the NBA! GO CAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MRdeAler said...

cavaliers is strong but not a team..
because it's all aboUt lebron "king"james..
and lakers is not only about kobe but a team.. -gasol -odom -ariza -fisher kobe "the mr MVP"

MRdeAler said...

cav's is all about lebron "king" james..
but laker's is all about..
not onli koBe.. but a team..
kobe24 "MVP" is great..
and he is have also -Gasol -Odom -Bynum -ariza...

JMANWILL said...

Lebron James is over rated. Put some real defense on this kid without the fake refereeing and I promise you as always Lebron James will fail.
This year the world will witness the true champions LA. Lakers along with the TRUE MVP 2009 Kobe Bryant !!!!!!!!!!

Joey said...

Lebron and the Cavs have got this. This is the year for the cavs.

Matheo said...

dodgers will win it all

LBJMVP said...

to MRdeAler are u kidding? have you heard of Mo williams. Sure you can say that the cavs are reffered to as lebron's but the lakers are refered to as kobe's team. This year the top scoring duo wasn't paul pierce and kevin garnett not kobe and gasol The top scoring duo in the NBA was Mo and lebron. We also have Z, andy( who is very underated iside the paint) and delonte who can drive and finish. CAVS 2009 champs.

Sure you can say that the cavs are reffered to as lebron's team but the lakers are also refered to as kobe's team.Ask anyone in the U.S. and when the cavs and lakers play it is always be announced Lebron versus Kobe. This year the top scoring duo wasn't paul pierce and kevin garnett not kobe and gasol The top scoring duo in the NBA was Mo and lebron. We also have Z, andy( who is very underated iside the paint) and delonte who can drive and finish. CAVS 2009 champs.

LBJMVP said...

JMANWILL you are correct in saying he can be defended (shane battier and ron artest did it to him in houston) but we wont see those to and no one can defend him in the playoffs. Even if you do stop him his extra abiliities like facilitating will be over the top and mo and the rest of the Cavs will prevail All for one and one for all

Daniel said...

Cavs are the better team and they proved it with their great record. However, NBA is such a game of matchups. Just like inferior teams like the Blazers and the Bobcats gave Lakers problems this year, Lakers is a tough matchup for the Cavs. I predict Lakers in 6.

Brett said...

Lakers swept the cavs in regular season...

Eduardson said...

I Think LBJ w/ the cavs win nba final 2009 championship is a very first time w/ LBJ very consistent in all aspect but i know Lakers w/ kobe Bryant is a very dingerous inside the paint... LBJ wins also mvp award in 2009 races behinds kobe??? cavs not giving up to fall LBJ going strong until last seconds dead ball seem, the heart of a champs is finally coming soon w/ LBJ production.

Lizzard said...

Ummmm...1st off, this ain't the regular season guys!!! 2nd, how can you even say the Cavs are not about "the team", are you all even watching the same tv the rest of the country is??? They are the #1 team in the entire NBA who just happen to be led by a guy you may have heard of... his name is Lebron James & I beg to differ with you, the Cavs always have & always will be all about being a team!! This year, the entire team is AMAZING, you just won't admit it cuz you are either scared or jealous, maybe both!!!!

Carolyn said...

King James and the Cavs will take it this year. LeBron as MVP and the team as the NBA Champions.

Everybody talking about when Kobe came into the league, he would be the next Michael Jordan, I haven't seen that yet.

Cleveland has the ability to shoot the three, can dish it inside the paint and the entire team are all MVP's.

Lakers better look out for Houston.

Carolyn in LBNJ

gbs2006ffd said...

Well LeBRON is the one for the MVP because he has the highs score. I remember What the league did to KOBE years ago when their give the MVP to STiVE NASH and BRYANT was the one for the MVP, trust me LA will win the final and he could have the MVP either.

Shayne said...

All ya people that like the cavs are crazzzy! come on seriously!?! the lakers are arguably the best team in the league and they will when it all and the finals will be 4-1 LAKERS!

LAKERS FOREVER!

hahaha. i'm glad someone was paying attention instead of having an "emotional prediction". Lebron has zero idea how to lead his team to a championship. Last time the Cavs were in the Finals, they were swept aside like the Spurs were playing a highschool team. Experience prevails in the finals.

Lakers in 6... maybe 5.

T Thom05 said...

The Cavs + Lebron James (MVP) = Championship, end of story. No one can stop King James, this is finally his year. O yea and not that he needs any help but it sure doesn't hurt to have Big Z and Mo Will on his side to sweetin the deal. GO CAVS!!! 23 Witness

Mike said...

Denver's momentum will carry them through to the Finals, where they'll meet the Cavs. The Cavs will win in 5, suffering their only loss in the entire playoffs.

Curt&Vic said...

No doubt The cavs. They got the beast Lebron James and that is all a team needs to win.

Shayne said...

Kobe is... BY FAR THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA! there is no chance of the cavs winning. 1st off, lebrons "amazing" team is down 2-1. Although i'm a lakers fan i really want the Lakers to play the cavs.... one of my reasons is because IT WOULD BE SOOO MUCH EASIER TO BEAT THEM RATHER THAN THE MAGIC!!!

LAKERS FAN FOR LIFE!
KB24 MVP 2010!

badboyjeff said...

I must now say two things to everyone who was so sure the overrated and overhyped Lebron would lead the Cavs to the title this year:

1. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fail.

2. I told you so.

L.A. all the way baby.

witness #23 said...

lebron and the cavs will beat the magic in 7. still not sure about the lakers series. but all of this stuff about lebron being over rated is non-sence. have you looked at his stats this postseason. in one more 25 plus point playoff game he will be 4 games behing michael jordan, for the most 25 plus point playoff game

witness #23 said...

cavs all the way

witness #23 said...

i think the cavs will beat the magic in 7. still not sure about the lakes series. but i dont like all of this nonsence about lebron being over rated. have you looked at his postseason stats. if the king gets one more 25 plus point playoff game he will be only 4, 25 plus point playoff games behind michael jordan. CAVS ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!

witness #23 said...

go cavs

Shayne said...

1st of all....

-Lebron IS overrated! he got 8 let me repeat 8 turnovers in one quarter! that is pathetic.... he is not so amazing at mid range jumpers either..

2nd of all....

-The lakers are going to have home court because we will be playing the magic because the dang cavs aren't even good enough to beet them!

3rd of all....

-KOBE SHOULD BE MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ben3324 said...

Lakers...they're the complete team, they hava a young & improving bynum, the best international player in the league, the best player in the league, the best defender in the league and uhh fisher?his old but his ok..lol, and lastly the best bench in the league..

rushabh said...

the boston celtics will win it all...
with K.G back and healthy.ray hittin his money J'S...the truth leadin da team....AND...rondo runnin' da offense and gainin all star status...
to top it all dey have sheed now...dont forget kendrick perkins....dey're bench is also pretty deep
and all u laker fans...dont forget da lakers lost ariza.....
and kobe is just a fake ass bitch

Bryan said...

The lakers will win it all.They have the best player and the best team.When the lakers play good D they are unstoppable to beat.With Ron, Kobe,Andrew,Pau,shannon and Lamar the lakers will be the best this year and maybe next year too.

Ramesh said...

Kobe is the Black Mamba and the only and only MVP of 2009.

Kobe is a living dictionary of Basketball. He learns and practices new styles and technics, Unlike Lebron-Cry Baby who uses brute force which will not always work.

Basketball is an Art only Kobe MJ, Bird, Fall in the role of an Basketball artist.

Go Lakers 2009- 2010 NBA champions

Bobby said...

Lakers are going to win it all. Who can stop Kobe?? Ok stop him, now whos going to stop Pau?? Ok who will stop Pau while Andrew Bynum is in the game with him?? Ok who will stop Ron Ron while you are worried about Kobe, Pau and Drew?? Too many players to worry about...Cavs arent even the best team in the East so stop talking about them winning a championship they have to win the conference first.

badboyjeff said...

Just wanted to laugh again at everyone who said Lebron and the Cavs would win it all last season. Keep witnessing... and keep dreaming.

zeke gerard said...

the cavs beat the lakres in the lakers home court which shows that they are tougher this season, so they can win the CHAMPIONSHIP

badboyjeff said...

I think you mean ON the Lakers home court. However, even with the right preposition, this doesn't make sense. This is basketball, not football and one game does not win even a playoff series, much less a championship. Wake me up when the Cavs even win their conference, and then we can talk.

EZ Zone said...

I dont think either the Lakers on the Cavs will be in the finals this year.

I'm thinking Celtics-Nuggets

BryceTubb said...

Ultimately, i believe, like im sure 99.7% of the NBA fans out here, that the Finals will be either: Lakers/Cavs, Lakers/Celtics, Lakers/Magic or MAYBE even Lakers/Hawks. With that being said (excluding the Lakers/Hawks matchup) i break it down like this:

Lakers/Cavs
Guards: Kobe Bryant, Shannon Brown, Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic

Small F's: Ron Artest, Luke Walton, Adam Morrison

Big men: Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Josh Powell, D.J. Mbenga

VERSUS:

Guards: Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, Delonte West, Daniel Gibson

Small F's: Lebron James, Jamario Moon, Daniel Green

Big Men: Shaq, Zyndrunus Ilgauskus, Anderson Varejao, J.J. Hickson, Darnell Jackson

ADVANTAGES:
Guard play: LAKERS
Small Frwd: CAVS
BigMenPost: LAKERS

Why LA will win:
Lakers Big men are MUCH more athletic and MUCH more skilled. Gasol, Bynum, and Odom can all hit jumpers and Odom can even play the small forward spot and hit 3's - Kobe Bryant is virtually unstoppable in the playoffs, enough said - Ron Artest is one of the greatest defensive players ever and should be able to slow down Lebron and allow Kobe to guard the 2nd best player on the CAVS (which is pretty scary considering Kobe is an all-nba-defensive-first-team-player) and When you combine The skilled big men, KOBE, Ron Artest defense, and the lakers explosive bench, i dont think the Cavs or anyone else can match up for 7 games.

Justin said...

Looking like the Cavs are picking up momentum even without Mo and West for the time being...it's going to be an exciting allstar game for sure

EZ Zone said...

I'm telli you all

Neither the Cavs or the Lakers will be in the 2009-2010 finals

Better luck next year

Michael said...

Nuggets are gonna win it all screw the cave and the Lakers
