With the Lakers being knocked out in a crushing defeat against the Dallas Mavericks, who do you think is going to win the Finals?
I know there are a few basketball fans here
Personally, I wanna see Chicago back in the finals, though, the Memphis is playing some interesting ball.

I think Heat, Boston, Mavs, Memphis have good chances of getting to finals. I think Mavs is probably the most experienced and skilled enough to make it to the Finals for the remaining West teams, and in East I think Heat will simply just overpower the Celtics and make it to finals, but if Celts manage to survive, they got good chance of going finals. Bulls and Atlanta just doesn't get my vote although Derrick Rose is one of my fav players.
I'm not jumping on the bandwagon here by any means (I'm actually impartial to basketball in general, I just watch it for the sake of watching it), but I'd like to see the Heat win it all in dominating fashion just to shut all the people up that whined and complained about them all joining the same team.

I'm the exact opposite
I want them to lose so all the people who jumped on the bandwagon will shut up.
Also, it would make me sad to think that a few great players with a pretty sh*tty bench can win the championship. I like teams like Boston or San Antonio, where the talent level isn't so unbalanced.

I guess I never thought of it that way. I don't know, I'm just glad the Lakers got destroyed. I hate watching their games, because they always seem to get the calls, especially Kobe. I guess the Thunder wouldn't be a bad team to win though, would definitely be a pleasant change from the likes of Boston, LA, and San Antonio.

Being a Boston fan I couldn't dislike the Lakers anymore than I already do. Watching them get destroyed a few days ago was awesome for me.
I agree with you about OKC. They (along with Chicago) are the new generation of the NBA and I think we'll be seeing a lot of them for the next few years.
Edit: Anyone else watching the Memphis-OKC game? Damn that was a nice 3.

I really hope so. Whenever Durant and Rose are on the court, you know you're in for some good games.
