schedule already favors Cavs. If both Lakers and Cavs won the minimum games to get to finals, Cavs would have an extra day off by virtue of starting Sat while Lakers start Sunday. It's no guarantee EITHER will make it to the finals, just a high probability. It's also no guarantee that either will sweep their way there. there are tough teams ALL over the league...Lakers are a little more vulnerable to Portland than Cavs are to ANY east team but we'll see.

It's the first round,idiot,how can you say that ANY team has an advantage? Plus, the Cavs earned any kind of advantage by having the Best regular season record.

The hornets will probably be swept by the pistons.Does this reminds anyone of when byron scott was coach of the nets?Well let me refresh your memories.jason kidd was on the team at that time and he was not pleased the way scott ran the team.Guess what,scott was gone.ok chris ,here's your opportunity to let scott have it,all it takes is a chat with jeff bowser(gen.mangr.)he will hear you.bottom line,scott gotta go.

4-23-2009 @ 12:09PM

we the fans need more than a coach who dresses up and act as though he is posing for the cameras.when was the last time scott argued a call and got a tech.he act as though he is afraid to get in a referee's face.that's a no no,,he might get the boot.should have gotten the boot at the start of this season.

i was not a saints fan until they got a good coach in shawn payton.now the hornets must do the same thing,get a quality coach,not a quality dresser

Hi Laker fans, please bring your loudest voices to the game and make the players feel the home-court advantage.
I am tired of seeing the celebrity line-up at every game. We already know who these people are. I want the crowd to be part of the game. When I watch other fans route for their players and when I see the laker fans all so quiet, I wonder why they did not stay at home to watch the game instead of going to the arena and sitting down like some loosers.
If you are not going to make some noise, please be advised to stay home on any game day.
The only time I hear a loud noise from the fans or should I say crowd, is when they are chanting for tacos.
Do other fans get tacos at their games? So, why should tacos be the incentive for Lakers fans to show some love to the players.
I am sick and tired of all those parade or charade of celebrities that will occupy the front row and will not participate in "bringing down the roof" while free throw is being made by the opposing team.
Please, if you really care about the Lakers and will be present at the game, show some love by making some noise. I mean, real noise.

The NBA looks like A tattoo parlor, players can't find anything better to spend their money on. Players today look like A bunch of prison bitches.

There is only one team that possibly could stop the Cav's from sweeping their way into the finals, and that is Boston, but the Celtics aren't playing like the team from a year ago either so on will only have to wait to see, but the Cav's will win the Championship this year hands down. GO King James

P.S. Watch The Black Mamba and the Lakers take it all

Byron Scott took two struggling franchises(Nets
and Hornets)from the league basement to the play-offs.He has won a championship, but he should
get some credit for being a good coach
