NBA Conference Finals Preview

The NBA Conference Finals are usually a good time. Two heavyweights expected, and two surprises in the NBA Finals Four should continue this trend. Even better, without LeBronaliers Cleveland, there will be four full teams, discussed not run around and look "offense of that type. Ok, maybe 3 ½ depending on how Kobe is feeling. Let's take a look ...

Eastern Conference (4) Boston Celtics vs. (2) Orlando Magic

Favourite player: JameerNelson. He is a Philly guy and I have not yet found how amazing it was to St. Joseph in 2004. More importantly, it's nice to see, to redeem for his performance disastrous NBA Finals last year. Nelson was injured and did not play anyway, but if he did it difficult to observe. It will not be the best point guard in the series, but unlike his counterpart, Nelson can hit open jump shot.

Paths: Honestly I have not decided. The article in the EasternI was rooting for Dwayne Wade Conference Playoffs as long as some (only five games) and then I expect my loyalty to the Swing Magic. Changed, however, the second game of the Boston / Cleveland series my plan. In the second half of the game I tweeted: "On board the Celtics jump on the train" for this series. Cavs are whiners, Ray Allen and Rondo are evil, and KG faces are priceless. "At this point I'm 50/50 and could easily root for both teams. He'llon a team or a player I do not like something and put my support in the opposite direction. Until then, I'm rooting for Tiger Woods to appear in a game in Orlando and Glen "Big Baby" Davis showed that trample him as a boy in the conference last year's seeds.

Who / what is the difference: Orlando is much lower in Boston, Boston, and can not really match with Dwight Howard (who?). Although, if you put Howard in foul trouble to do (something simpler) thatcertain limit the advantage that it represents. Moreover, the Celtics need another monster number of Rajon Rondo and will need much, much more from Paul Pierce as they lost in the semifinals against Cleveland. Another important note is that the magic has not lost in the 2010 playoffs. I think this has more to do with their opponents, but in both cases, it will be interesting to see how they react when they are actually tested for the first time in the playoffs. Whatever Orlandolosing series. I'm just grateful, do not miss the runners that Anderson no longer varejo and Mo Williams to MIA, in the second half more.

Notables: The team of Mark Jackson, ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen are fantastic. It could be argued that are annoying, but I love them. As a group, are very fun, exciting and brutally honest. * The point guard Matchup will be amusing. As I said, I love Jameer Nelson, but Rajon Rondo is a treat forto see. His speed is virtually un-guardable IQ and his game translates to success. However, I have to laugh when the defense Rondo open 15 footer, it will not because it is a shooter paragraph. If Rondo ever gets a consistent jump shot, look out. * The battle of the Centre will also close one ... except in basketball sense. Both Dwight Howard Kendrick Perkins of the Celtics and Magic are two of the biggest whiners in the NBA is. Fortunately, it was aCourtside box of tissues in case one of the players losing control. * And finally, is Kevin Garnett. Many people hate them and think it's disgusting. Garnett is disgusting, but I love her "I'm clinically insane," faces and the intensity he brings to the game. Trash Talk, taste, leadership Garnett leads them all. What's not to like?

Prediction: Magic in 6 Why? I do not know.

Western Conference (3) vs. Phoenix Suns (1) Los Angeles Lakers

FavoritePlayer: Adam Morrison. Morrison is the most underrated player in the league. He is the purest shooter gritties defender and has the heart of a champion. If I have a pla ... Just kidding. It 'was fun, although not? I do not have a favorite player in this series. If I had to choose, I would go with Nash because of its hardness. He also has a phenomenal (and underrated) shooter, great leader and an amazing point guard. I would probably like more, if he did not send the Spurshome. By the way, if Nash has offered me shake his hand as he left the field after a game, I would respectfully decline. How many times he has his hands on the ball, another player on the floor, or hair before she licks her fingers elegantly before a free throw? There is no way I touched her hands. No way.

Paths: I continue to root more for doubt that these two teams. I despise the Lakers to three reasons. Before Phil Jackson can-stand. According to PauGasol-he can stand. Third Phil Jackson, I can not stand. I think with that said, I'll be rooting for the Phoenix Suns. While rooting for Phoenix will not be pleasant, it would be nice for Grant Hill and Nash to reach the final. While seeing Amare Stoudemire and Jared Dudley (I had to fight since his time at Boston College) for the trip is hard to swallow. I'm going to spend some 'energy rooting for Kobe. It 's a class to make a hole, but so was Jordan, and it is difficult notadmire his desire to win. If LeBron had half the will of Kobe, the Cavs would still be around.

Who / what is the difference Gasol and Andrew Bynum life is very difficult for the Suns. Their size and power was far below the speed limit control of the game and the opportunity to break the Suns' fast. If Bynum and Gasol are effective, Phoenix will have a high shooting percentage and limit their turnovers to hang back. While the Spurs lacked a top defender, the LakersRon Artest has and if necessary, Kobe. Moreover, not many second chances Phoenix is to get more in their previous series, because LA has the size, again, it is important that they are shooting over 50%. Similar to the Eastern finals, the Lakers lose this series. To advance Phoenix must find a way of taking too many shots, and Kobe in LA to ignore obvious advantage of the goat down.

Notables: TNT Pregame, halftime and post game coverage is infinitely better than ESPNbecause Charles, Kenny and CWebb you feel like you're out with your friends. Listen to Doug Collins during the game is fun. It 's like your father speaks to dinner all the stops to listen. I love Doug Collins. I secretly wished that my grandfather would have been second. * To protect my TV, as well as yours and I have already written request to limit the transmission time NBA since Adam Morrison mustache. I'm not sure what he would try, but "creepy pedophile guy" is theone that comes to mind. Sydney Crosby or forward, whichever you prefer. * Channing Frye shooting undoubtedly less than 30% from beyond the arc of this series for two reasons. He shot 54% before to knock out the Spurs. And secondly I am for our playoff contest. * Last but not least, good old Jack Nicholson. I do not understand why the referees take the pain from him. There must be an agreement with the league or something. If he had another fan, he would throw tens of times today. I am adedicated fans Sixers with an eye Spurs, but I will follow blindly laying every coach to play deep in front of Jack, where he inbounded the ball and then immediately thrown back into, only ducks input and the ball went into Jack's face. It 'too much to ask, right?

Prediction: Lakers in 7 While the Suns have an aura about him, I do not think it will be sufficient to meet the 7 seems to me, I know what I'm talkingabout.

LeBron James

As we all know, LeBron once made a quick exit from the postseason in Alexander Ovechkin. Most writers I've read all the important points of the recent failure LeBron is covered. I agree with almost everyone, especially the casual attitude of those described LeBron, as his season and length of employment in Cleveland went up in flames. Since I have no original thoughts on one thing, I thought it would triumph, and to share this little pieceI wrote in March for a gentleman, that my opinion on the possibility LeBron James' was a title in 2010. I'm part of the Celtics, but I think I was right in the Cavaliers on ...

Even if we ignore the truth, is the seventh year to experience LeBron James' in a manner similar to its predecessor. It 'hard to argue otherwise. Yes, LeBron James is the most talented player in the NBA. Unfortunately, it is also the only player to its roster preview. We have seen thisWritten by: superstar surrounded by incredibly talented participants in the media. Even if they can contribute to a better regular season, the ending is disappointing, predictable and very lame.

Although a repeat order is imminent, will no doubt spend the mainstream media to convince the next few weeks, you and me, James and the Cleveland Cavaliers enough to have the right title. Can be heard. As good as him, James does not have the fire power to overcome the depth of its competitors.Shaquille O'Neal was not significant in four years. Antawn Jamison came to town a year too late. Even Mo Williams and Delonte West to fight. Just to get from the East, the Cavs have the Orlando Magic, and maybe even get the Boston Celtics.

process decrepit James the Celtics, but the depth of Orlando league Cleveland can derail the train. Moreover, the past in the final Conference of beaters before a match against James by the Western difficultConference. Checkmate. There are simply too many obstacles to overcome. LeBron's teammates are not up to the challenge.

Great players lead their teams to championships, but rarely wear it. Kobe Bryant has Pau Gasol. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Even the great Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen. LeBron alone. This is not change, at least not in time for the 2010 playoffs. "
