WEST (1)PHOENIX vs. (8)Memphis Phoenix wins, 6-3
[Memphis and Phoenix split their season series this year, I don't think it will be a sweep.]
(4)DALLAS vs. (5)Sacramento Dallas wins, 4-2
(2)SAN ANTONIO vs. (7)Denver San Antonio wins, 7-6
[Denver won like 23 of their last 25 games, beating teams like San Antonio, Boston, Indiana, and Seattle.]
(3)SEATTLE vs. (6)Houston Houston wins, 4-2
[Lots of injuries for Seattle. Not sure everyone will be back 100%. Seattle will be easy for Houston I think.]

He's a selfish "I am the NBA" player who doesn't understand the concept of team. You won't find a player who isn't on his current team who has a single nice thing to say about him.
We wished for the Lakers to be All Kobe, and now they are All Kobe, No playoffs.
Please remember, in the Lakers storied history, even dating back to the Minnesota Age, they have only missed the playoffs 4 TIMES, woot.
Now it is 5.
Congrats Kobe. Congrats.
Shaq is a total team player.
To me a Great player is one who makes everyone around him better, Like Shaq or Jordan, or Tim Duncan.
Guys who realize that they must play their best, and get the best out of their teammmates.
Sure Jordan took 35 shots a game sometimes, but rarely was it in the same fashion of Kobe, where he drives down the court and throws up shots.
Jordan had no problems breaking down the defense and then passing to the open man for the easy shot, like pippen or Kerr.
Kobe is different, he drives down and then heaves it up there.
KLANG!
I predict a Spurs Vs. Heat finals with the Heat taking it.

I haven't watched Dallas lately but I read somewhere that their defense is much improved under their new coach.

Avery Johnson is a defense, defense, defense kind of guy. But he was only put in place 2 weeks before the playoffs, the team is still tailored to Don Nelson's insane and bizarre offense, offense, offense strategy.
Maybe they'll win in the first round, but they will go no farther baring major injuries to other teams.
I would love to see a Mavericks Vs. Pheonix matchup.

Um. I do seem to remember being at a game where Shaq and a significant other smack Tim Duncan around, I don't see why that can't happen again.
I LOVE Tim Duncan, but this year I root for Shaq and Co. to take home to gold, and Kobe and Lakers' Owner and GM have to eat a big "we choose the cold arrogant rapist over the Big Aristotle" shit sandwich.
although if Duncan wins.
Woot!
Timmy rules!
Skill for Skill Tim is the Best Player in the League.
Lbs. for Lbs. Shaq is more dominant.
