The team that loses the Finals.



I honestly don't care who the Celtics face as long as they win.




Though it always warms my heart to see the Lakers lose sooner vs. later.

caveat...i was assuming the clippers really do not have a chance...
i think the spurs, thunder and fakers all have about an equal chance...even with the fakers down 2-0...

This is my list too.

Sadly I don't think the Clippers are a realistic possibility. Spurs or OKC/LAL and LAL chances are small given their loss last night and the looming back to back.

Any team but the Lakers. Because the refs won't let the Celtics win

Best matchup as people have been saying is the clippers... however, I've been saying it for months, I personally want to see celtics vs spurs. Would be a great series between two veteran ball clubs

Who we match up best are the teams I want most to face:

1 - LAC, shouldn't be here and Griffin's over-rated, though Chris Paul isn't.
2 - OKC, lots of talent, but young, inexperienced, lots of turnovers, and not as strong in half court.
3 - LAL, Twin towers, WMP is effective vs PP, Kobe, experience. Weak at PG.  Looks like OKC will solve this issue for us.
4 - SAS, Very Deep, experienced, and smart. Beatable however.

Pretty close between LAL and SAS because of the C's height issues.  BTW, I think we got S. Williams for a LAL series to use 6 more fouls on Bynum.

I'm torn: I want to have another chance to top the Lakers, but I'd totally love seeing them knocked out early.

So I'm always down for a classic Celtics-Lakers matchup, but I'd also like to see Celtics-Spurs—two veteran-laden teams that rely on great D, but also have some exciting young players ... though I fear that the average score in such a series would be something like 78-76, which isn't exactly fun to watch.

I want the spurs because we match up best with them and I think fully healthy we can beat them.

I do not want any part of LA bc of their size, I cant watch kobe gun his team out of a series only to be saved by 7 footers playing volleyball at the rim, then have him get an undeserved MVP trophy. Once was enough.

I thought OKC would be Boston's toughest matchup until I saw what the Lakers did to them last night with an inferior defense to the Celtics.  They made OKC a walk-it-up-the court jump-shot-team and OKC looked kind of puzzled as to what they should be doing in a half court set.
