is taking it all.They will be well rested and by the time the western finals are over expect some more big name players to fall.Jason Kidd is the real MVP(no disrespect to Duncan,though.Great player).

New Jersey is looking very tough right now. But I think that their opponent is gonna be the Spurs. And that may prove the toughest challenge of all for the Nets. Whatever the case may be, im just glad the Lakers are not in it. As a life long Celtics fan, it is my foresworn duty to be a Laker hater. Doesnt mean i dont respect them, i just hate them.

I pick New Jersey to lose the finals, and lose big. The east is no competition for the west at this time, plain and simple. I think LA, SA, or Dallas would dominate NJ with little effort. They'd stretch it out to 6 just to make it look good and make some extra $$$.
