Banter: Who will be NBA Champs

You picked what team you thought would win the East and which team would win the West. Which of those two do you think will capture the NBA championship?

They may be Magic, but the Spurs have one slight advantage over Orlando in my finals — a more talented bench. The big three may be a year older, but they are also healthier than they’ve been in a while. The acquisition of Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess provides some much needed depth for them.

My answer is the same as it was on Friday. “Lakers – and it’s not even close.” I would love to be able to go against the grain and say a team that isn’t the Lakers is going to win it all, but I think the Lake Show is just too good. Ron Artest just makes Kobe Bryant and crew more dangerous … really, it would be pretty surprising if something happened and the Lakers didn’t pull it off.

I think LeBron James and the Cavaliers have a chance. I think it is going to be their year. The have put together an impressive team over the past few seasons and their offense is great. They will find a way to win it.
