Heat in 6 against Celtics

Then thankfully Lakers can knock off Spurs in 7

Heat in 6 against Lakers

Shaq averages 30 but LeBron locks up Kobe and basically will own his soul

Kobe goes through his routine 6-24, and LeBron dominates

[Eye Test]

my picks:

Lakers over Spurs in 6

Celtics over Heat in 7



Lakers over Celtics in 5

OT - Jabbar why'd you go with 2010 instead of 2008? Rondo was better, but in 08 they had prime KG still.

:no: heat doesnt get past the celtics, remember bran avoids the finals when kobe is waiting there

10 they had better chemistry/gel, not physically prime but overall a better team

Doesnt that work both ways? :lol

2008-2010 kobe was there but no bran

2007 + 2011-2014 bran was there but not kobe

[Milbuck]

2001 Lakers in 6 over 2014 Spurs
2013 Heat in 7 over 2010 Celtics (2008 Celtics would take it in 6 or 7)

2001 Lakers in 6 over 2013 Heat, Bosh retires

2011-2014 kobe wasn't supossed to be there with those LA teams and pretty much on a decline, bran was pretty much primed and got bounced by orlando to avoid kobe :facepalm kobe didnt even sweat to destroy orlando

[riseagainst]

OP, how bout the 08 Celtics instead of 10?

10' celtics were the superior defensive team imo

[Perfect]

How do the 04 pistons fit in this bracket?

[Booz Vivic]

2013 Pacers vs. 2006 Heat

So Kobe and the Lakers weren't supposed to be there last year when they acquired Dwight and Nash? Ok then..

Explain yourself

:biggums:


08 celtics and 04 pistons were the best defensive teams of the 00's IMO

eastern conference

[uber]

Lakers in 6
Heat in 6

Lakers in 4

Noone could guard Shaq effecitvely back then, so how should the one team withouth a real center guard one of the most dominant players of all time?

[GimmeThat]

why not Northerners against Southerners?
