NBA Playoffs - Conference Finals

1. Los Angeles Lakers vs 2. Denver Nuggets
This by far should be the easiest series that the Lakers would have until the Finals, but then again this is the WCF and the Nuggets are playing some good ball while the Lakers have yet to turn it on for a whole series. Theres no doubt that the stars will shine for both teams when the play against each other but for the Lakers much will be needed from Fisher to keep the team level-headed, Ariza to frustrate Melo and hit the open shot, Farmar/Brown to outplay Jones/Carter, Sasha to be patient and be a pest and Bynum to be a force on the boards and on defense. For Denver they have to keep K-Mart involved somehow because he brings them a tremendous amount of energy, Nene to be physical with the Laker bigs, J.R. to go crazy and their so called "bench-mob" to beat the Real Bench-Mob.
Lakers in 5 or 6

1. Cleveland Cavaliers vs 3. Orlando Magic
The Magic won the season series 2-1 and theres a reason for that. Look for the Magic to finally get somewhat tested in the ECF. Cleveland is playing great and when Lebron gets his real game-face on he will be even harder to stop. The key in this series is whether or not the guards of the Cavs will be able to contain the 3-point gunners on the Magic, if they can force tough shots for the Magic theyll win easily. On the other hand, the Magic play a different style of basketball. Instead of playing inside-out they play outside-in and as long as this team hits 3's throughout the game, theyll make Dwight even better because he'll have time to crash the offensive boards for dunks and alot of and-1's. Its going to be a sight to see Lebron blocking shots of Dwight and Dwight finally putting up a challenge for Lebron when he tries to throw it down.
Cavs in 6 (hopefully theres a Game 7 though)
