<< Toronto???
Portland is a tenth of the team the Spurs are, and the Spurs are half the team Dallas and Sacto are. I'm thinking it could be Boston and LA. The NBA would love that matchup. They'll probably sh!t their pants if its Sacto and Charlotte.
Sacto is the only team that has had any success against the Lakers. The Lakers caught a break getting to play SA in the next round. >>
I think the Mavs are a better matchup than the Kings, but I like the Kings, and hope they take out the Mavs. The Kings don't have an answer for Shaq, Vlade/Pollard/Webber/Funderburke and who ever else they throw at him aren't enough. I think the Mavs with LaFrentz or Wang Zhi Zi at C, can try and get Shaq out of the paint to open things up for Van Exel, who always plays clutch against the Lakers and Nash to go to the basket. That being said, I think the Spurs and the Mavs/Kings winners will get their collective asses handed to them in the next couple weeks. Whoever comes out of the East will have a moral victory if they win 1 game. I would love to see the Celtics and the Lakers again...reliving the 80's with Magic and Kareem vs. Bird, McKale, etc.... I like the Hornets b/c of Davis( former bruin) but they really can't hope to beat the Lakers more than once, even Philly who was damn good last year, was only able to do it once.
