Thoughts on NBA conference finals

The Denver Nuggets and the Orlando Magic has seriously put a challenge on the Lakers-Cavs showdown in the NBA finals. I do believe that both teams has the capability to move onto the finals if only they can play consistently for two more games. The Nuggets has shown signs that they can bully the Lakers through their strong bench and their extremely high energy but they have also shown signs that they can be burried by Kobe himself. The Magic should have been up three games to none if not for the unbelievable shot made by James but the series suggests that the Cavs still retain its homecourt advantage by winning the next game and evening the series.

Still, despite all odds, I think that we are in for a treat in the next couple of days and expect to see a lot of upsets made. Although, the Lakers have home court advantage which will become crucial because now it is a best of three series. Thus, expect Kobe to torch the Nuggets at home and move on to the NBA finals. But expect King James to bow out of the playoffs prematurely because of the emergence of another stars who aren't superman, Hedo and Rashad.

Lakers will win 4-3 while the Magic will close out the series 4-1.
