What chance do you give each remaining playoff team to win the CHAMPIONSHIP?

[rondofan1255]

I give:

Celtics 10%
Suns 5%
Magic 20%
Lakers 65%


I'm a diehard Celtics fan, but the team looks decimated by injuries (the Rondo and TA ones worry me, as do the ones to BBD and Sheed). I sure hope I'm terribly wrong and either the Suns or Celtics win!

[Roy Hobbs]

Celtics 100%
Suns 0%
Magic 0%
Referees 10%
Lakers -10%

[Who]

Celtics = 65%
Lakers = 35%

Magic + Suns = 0%

after game 5, I could totally see the Celtics winning the title, and right as Pierce hoists the Larry O'Brien trophy once again, Dick Bavetta, comes in the screen, kicks Pierce in the gut, and then proceeds to chokeslam him through the scorers table.  All while Joey Crawford and Eddie F. Rush take out the rest of the Celtics players with folding chairs.  The three officials leave holding holding the trophy up while confetti falls and the crowd boos, all while Mike Breen screams, 'Oh My God I cant Believe whats happened, We'll See Ya next week Fans!!'  NBA RAW is WAR

 

That Said. 

Celtics 26%
Magic 24%
Lakers25%
Suns 25%

[Q_FBE]

Celtics - 52 %
Lakers - 35 %
Suns - 13 %

Dwight Howard and friends are in the Charles Barkley invitational bass fishing tournament being held down south somewhere.

I think the Lakers find a way to beat Phoenix tonight upcoming so it will be Lakers vs Celtics in the finals.

The starting 5 has never lost a series together.

[Redz]

I'll go

Celtics 90%
Suns 9%
Lakers 1%

I don't think there's a chance in hell the Lakers beat the Celtics, but I threw in the 1% in case the Celts are injured.

I think the Suns have a better shot vs the Celtics, but I don't think they'll get past the Lakers (hence only 9%)

So...a this point I'm 90% certain the Celts win it all.

If it ends up being Celts/Lakers I'd go 99% Celtics / 1% Lakers

If Celtics vs Phoenix I'd say Celts 55% Phoenis 45%

I'm curious why you think Phoenix has a better shot than LA at beating the Cs.

I'm curious why you think Phoenix has a better shot than LA at beating the Cs.

I just think the Celtics will have an easier time imposing their style of play on the Lakers.  I don't necessarily like the idea of the Celtics trying to run and gun chasing the Suns all over the place. 

Maybe this is a bit of a holdover concern from earlier in the season though.

Lakers don't scare me.

The Suns in the Finals I think would be good for the NBA, but I think the Cs have a better shot at beating them b/c good defense>>>>good offense.
