My predictions (can you guess) are that the Lakers and Celtics meet in the finals. And the Lakers win it all.
It seems like every team in the West has stumbled toward the finish line except the Lakers. They've hit a stride winning 7 our of 8, have more rest than any other team to begin the playoffs, and believe it or not, but their "Big 3" have better numbers than Boston's "Big 3" AND they have a deeper bench. Andrew Bynum may not return this year, but Trevor Ariza will be back by the 2nd round. This is Kobe's time!

In the east:
Raptors with the surprise upset. Celtics over Cavs in conference finals.
In the west, Mavs will stun Hornets and take Spurs to seven in a Texas showdown. Rockets will give them a run for their money, though (remember the Ewing theory).
Spurs will win it in six.
