I have to wonder (strictly by the numbers mind you with each teams home game performance) why we should even bother with the playoffs. Just skip to the finals says I. It's going to be a Lakers/Cavs series most likely (barring injury anyway)

As someone who studied Cleveland sports history for my entire life though, I wouldn't bother hoping too hard for the Cavs to win said finals though. They are after all a Cleveland team

EDIT: Of course, if I am wrong, I will double celebrate. 1) because the Cleveland Sports Curse will finally be broken and 2) Shaq will drop another one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtbilFAG7ac

More good news for y'all celtics-haters, leon powe is out for the postseason with a torn ACL. I would be very, very surprised if the celts make it to the finals. I don't care who wins the finals as long as its not the lakers for several reasons, one of them being phil jackson inching closer to red auerbach's most title wins for a coach.

Forget I said it, especially since the Lakers aren't taking this seriously and the Rockets clearly are.
