    I'm voting for the T'wolves. Their in a tough battle right now up by 2 against the Lakers. I feel if they can pull this one off and take it back to Minnesota then they will be in the finals.

    I really like the pistons too although i think with the spurs out that the lakers probably have the best chance to win it all.

    Funny, we both have the same predictions.

    Well, hopefully the Lake Show can pull out a win here in Game # 6 and get at least a days more rest than the East winner.

    Yeah this is the first year since the Chicago Bulls dynasty that the East will stand a chance in the finals whether its the Pistons or Pacers. Pacers are looking pretty shakey though.

    Yes you have to hand it to the defense for making the Pacers look shakey.

    A little bit of both. Detroit is definetly the best team in the East since they acquired Rasheed Wallace, and without a doubt would most likely be the # 1 seed in the East if they could have had him seaon-long.

    As for Indiana, they are starting to get banged up a little bit, Tinsley, and O'Neal...not looking too good for them right now, I honestly say look for Detroit to close it out in game # 6 back in Detroit.

    Well I voted for my Wolves, but as you know how the NBA works, they will do what they can so that their precious Lakers can win a championship.

    GO PISTONS...

    and yes i honestly think they actually have a chance to beat the lakers, sorry jack but you've had way too much fun.

    and with some big guys that hardly get any minutes...time for hack-a-shaq :D ... defense will be key and stopping bryant will be tough...sheed and malone will be fun to watch too....

    but i better not get ahead of myself, we still have a 6th game to play tonight.

    GO PISTONS

    It's over ladies.

    Lakers get their 4th. Payton and Malone get their rings. I am pulling for the Pistons though. I hate Reggie Miller :evil:

    Pistons can beat the lakers in 6 games. Better better Defense and a great half court game.

    New Champions this year.

    Pistons.

    Gotta go with the Pistons, eventhough it will be tough as hell to beat the Lakers. That defense is stellar so you never know.

    I don't want to see it happen, but I think the Lakers are taking it home.

    im also afraid of this. but if the lakers win, i think, Payton, Malone will be happy and will go to retirement, this is the only thing lacking w/ these 2 players, THE CHAMPIONSHIP RING, that were denied for them to have it, by the greatest basketball player ever. MJ :D

    I don't want them to, but I think the Lakers SHOULD win. With the line-up they have, I don't see how they lost any games. But I would like to see any east teams (Detriot or Indiana) take it. I have always liked Reggie Miller, and I think he is deserving of it. And the Pistons have come a long way, but they are young, they can do it again next year.

    Either way, I really don't care, b-ball is boring now.
