Great poll!
LA Lakers, because beating them a second time will be sweet!

I went Spurs.

As much as I hate the Lakers (even as a Twolves fan transplant)... that's been done.

I would like nothing more than to see a matchup of KG and Duncan in the finals.  And if KG was to outplay Duncan, and the Celtics won the title, it would be near impossible for anybody to ignore Garnett's legacy when it's all over.

I agree definetly Lakers.  Spurs would be great too.

To be completely honest, and I know theyre underachieving so far this year, but a match up against the Hornets would scare me the most out of those teams.  I think theyre a team that has the capability, when playing well, to keep us out of sync defensively more than any other team.

The thunder.  I think we really match up well with them.



If that can't happen, San Antonio.  It would be nice to beat the class of the West for most of the decade.

I chose Rockets because if we were to play them, I would have a chance at going to the games in Houston.  ;D

But, Spurs and Lakers wouldn't be that bad, either.

I chose the suns because we would sweep them and KG and Rondo would OWN Amare and Nash big time

tough call between LA and SA... SA had the C's under a vice for so long.... I'd love to see KG vs Duncan... Rondo vs Parker...

I voted San Antonio

I'm okay with a sweep, so I picked the Mavs.

i'd like Rockets or Suns, Artest might be a really good defender but however good he is.... TMac is just as bad so either Pierce or Ray will be able to score at will.

The Rockets, as a franchise, is my favorite western team. This is mainly due to historical considerations of Moses Malone, McGray, and Olajuwon, but still, they're one of those that I'd like to play and beat. Also, if for some reason we'd lost, it wouldn't feel so bad either.
