Okay, it has really been a while….
But I cannot let this season pass by without putting my two cents in on it. After another long season and sans T-Mac, the Houston Rockets are gonna be in the playoffs. Not too surprised. I for one have fallen off of the T-Mac bandwagon. I think that many players were able to step up and contribute in ways that were not expected as a result of T-Mac’s absence. And this is why they are going to be participating in post season hoopla.
Now, if the Rockets can avoid playing Utah or San Antonio in the first round, they have a good chance of getting to the second round. I know that means they will almost definitely face the Lakers if they make it past he first round, but this will further solidify T-Mac’s first round curse (thought I would sneak that in). But, just getting past the first round will be good enough for me because this is definitely the Lakers’ or the Cavaliers’ year. Cleveland is playing ridiculously awesome…..against the EAST. They will definitely represent that conference in the final, but I have to give it to the Lakers. Lebron James has been just plain GREATNESS this year, but I like Kobe’s role players better. He has a Derek Fisher. Cleveland is young, and the Lakers are young and experienced all at the same time. Other noted match ups that should make for some entertainingly awesome basketball: all of the Western Conference matchups and the Eastern Conference championship. So, after all has been said and done this is my pick for the finals: Lakers vs. Cavaliers with the Lakers in 7. GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!
