The teams with the complete lineup won and I am just glad. Lakers, with all their erratic ways, managed to get over the pesky Rockets. No Yao, no way for Houston. In a long series like this one, every manpower counts. But having gone to Game 7 without Yao is already a feat in itself ( shame on you Laguna Lakers! ).
LA vs Denver would be an interesting one. For LA to win, they've got to play consistently. And Bynum must be dominant!
LA in 6 games ( prediction )
The Garnett-less Boston, on the other hand, was running on all heart from day 1 of the playoffs. 7 games versus Chicago. 7 games versus Orlando. It was just too much. But give it to them. As they say, never underestimate the heart of champions. But looking ahead, I don't think Boston can match up with the Cavs anyway. Not without Garnett. So for me, the Magic is the better team to give the Cavs some adversity. Hirap ang Cavs pag may magaling na malaki sa kalaban.
Cavs in 7 games ( although I'd like the Magic to win...)
