2010 NBA Championship

Lakers vs. Cavaliers
The Black Mamba vs. King James. Two future Hall of Famers and currently the best players in the league will finally meet in the NBA finals. Though the Cavaliers have the best player on the planet, the Lakers still have the best closer of the game in Kobe Bryant, and have the experience to win what will be their 16th NBA Crown in Franchise history(leaving them only one championship away from tying the Celtics for most of any franchise). Key Match-ups: Antawn Jamison and Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. I predict that the Lakers will win over the Cavaliers in 7 games. GO LAKERS!

Advancing to The Finals Are?

Cavaliers vs. Magic
I predict that this will be the best series of the 2010 Playoffs and the Cavaliers will beat the Magic in 7 games. The Cavaliers have brought Shaq to slow down Dwight Howard and have added Antawn Jamison giving them just enough to possibly edge out the Orlando Magic. Key Match-ups: Lebron James and Vince Carter, Dwight Howard and the Cav's big men

Lakers vs. Suns
I predict that the Lakers will win the series in 6 games. The Suns will try to control the tempo, but the Lakers bigs and Kobe are going to have their way in this series and dominate the paint. The Lakers will be headed to their third straight NBA finals, by far the most finals appearances for any franchise. Key match-ups are Pau Gasol against Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash against Derek Fisher.

So Which Teams Will Advance To The Conference Finals?

Hawks vs. Orlando
Orlando will win the series in 4 games. With Orlando's "Superman" Dwight Howard and dominant defense, Atlanta will have a hard time putting up big numbers to get a win. Last year's NBA finalists are looking strong and prime for a championship run, meanwhile the Hawks were the only team taken to 7 games in the first round. Key Match-ups: Joe Johnson and Vince Carter, Dwight Howard and Al Horford

Celtics vs. Cavs
The Cavs will take the series in 7 games. Lebron "The King" James will have to play like an MVP the whole series to beat KG's Celtics. The 2008 NBA champion Celtics may be a shadow of their former self, but the heart of a champion never quits. LeBron will be looking to make his second trip to the final where he has never won a NBA Finals game. Key Match-ups: Lebron James and Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnet and Antawn Jamison, Mo Williams and Rajon Rondo

Spurs vs. Suns

I predict that the Phoenix Suns will beat the San Antonio Spurs in 4 games. Even though the Spurs have beaten the Suns in 4 straight series, the Suns will simply run and out gun the Spurs this year. Key Match-ups: Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Tony Parker. Interesting Note: The Lakers or Spurs have represented the Western Conference in the NBA Finals in 10 of the past 11 seasons.

Lakers vs. Jazz

I predict that the Lakers will beat the Jazz in Game 6. The Lakers has too much size and the Jazz has injured starters that will make them limitless. The Lakers have eliminated the Jazz the past two seasons, both times the Lakers made it to the NBA Finals. Key Match-ups: Deron Williams and Derek Fisher, Carlos Boozer and Pau Gasol.

2010 NBA Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs have officially started. With the First Round over, eight teams remain and they are: The Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, and Orlando Magic. So, which team will you pick to advance and claim the 2010 Championship. Oddly enough 6 of these 8 teams made key acquisitions or changes to their line-ups since last season ended.
