What's Scarier Than Thunda & Big Bears?

What's scarier than Thunder and Big Bears? A couple of things.

1. Hearing Mark Cuban say, "Maverick" like Sarah Palin.
2. The Heat that strikes like lightning!

OK my bold, but humble Lakerless, prediction goes as such:

The Grizzlies match up better with the Mavs. I think Randolph mirrors Nowitzki better than Kendrick Perkins or Serge Ibaka. The backcourt match up is a bit better defensively with the Grizzlies too. Offensively the Thunder with Westbrook can put up some big numbers. Now it's just a matter of whether or not the Thunder can take care of that home cooked meal and advance. My prediction is a comfortable margin of victory for the home team (the Thunder).

Overall the Mavs take the West. Often times youth and zeal are no match for age and treachery. Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, and Jason Kidd have all been around and still get up and down pretty good, so they will be tough.

A look at the beasts in the East. Rose is becoming one of my favorite watches, but the Bulls are sadly enough stacked with too many Dookies for my liking. And again I have to refer to age and treachery in this match up, but also add one other small detail... star power! Who gets the call, Joakim Noah or Chris Bosh? I'm going to give Bosh a slight edge over the newby. Now how about D Wade and Derrick Rose? Wade still has star power but Rose is the Kia NBA MVP. Three letters in the last three words and acronyms, hmm... would a three letter, three word answer be impressive? OK here goes: Dee has him! I almost can't lose there, you pick which D it is. Oh wait Wade is D3! It's that whole basketball omen, so Wade it is. Then there's the no brainer. Carlos Loozer or Lebanon James? Nuff said. Enjoy watching the NBA Star Power, sadly enough I believe it's going to decide this years champ.

What Are The Odds Of A Threepeat?

Lakers - Hornets:
OK I picked the Lakers up big over the Hornets last night in Game 5. I like most just have a hard time going against talent, experience, size, and home cooking! So what are the Lakers odds at a 3peat? Better than the odds that the racist, or the extreme right, or the extremely stupid, and yes even better odds than the Don in trying to say that OUR President doesn't have a birth certificate! A picture is worth a thousand words so here ya go...

OK on to the next series.
Heat - Sixers: I missed the call on the blow out, because it didn't happen. I felt that Miami should have won by an average of 20 points and swept the series. Well they say the big boys get geared for the big games, and I guess a W is a W in the first or last round as long as it's in your teams favor.

Spurs - Grizzlies: I felt that the Spurs would rebound in Game 5 of their series with Memphis as well, but it will be tough to take 3 straight from a young unafraid Grizzlies squad. Wow, what a barn burner in SA! Just what a young team doesn't want to give a crafty veteran squad, hope, and confidence! The Grizzlies not only gave the Spurs one shot at OT, but two, and they took full advantage of it and live to see another day! Great overtime game!

Celtics - Anthony/Stoudamire I mean Knicks: The Celtics get the benefit of waiting for their opponent after sweeping the Knicks in the first round. Shocked, not really, but definitely didn't see the broom coming in this series. I am telling you now, that even without Perkins, the Celtics may be a mature team, but they are not a dead team!
Magic - Hawks: I did see a big win coming in this game as well. The drubbing that Orlando put on Atlanta at home, was a confidence builder, but will it lead to over confidence for game 6? Time will tell.

Bulls - Pacers: I really expected the Bulls to sweep the Pacers, but they were one game shy of that. Leagues youngest team in the playoffs, and best record in the NBA regular season, but will drive and youth allow them a title? I say not yet, but again time will tell.

Nuggets - Thunder: George Karl, Ray Felton, Ty Lawson, brotherhood! Other than saying that Durant is a  beast, nuff said!

Mavs - Blazers: That is the other match up right?

OK on to more important issues, here's some playoff look-a-likes for you kiddies:

Ashton K, and Kyle K...

Kurt Thomas now a Bull could be a bigger thug double for Dizzell!

And last but not least... Steve Urkel said that Shane Battier should yell, "Oh did I do that every time he gets an assist to Zach Randolph who looks just like his best bud Eddie Winslow...

So who else has an NBA look-a-like? Marc Gasol does not count, his brother is not a great actor because he flops well in Hollywood, although he and a few others are deserving of Oscars, but he is also a Laker!
