Tornado & Thunder
I wish I knew who made this. I don’t like not giving people credit, but I just saw it posted on Facebook. Too funny.
Simple:
Bulls & Mavs win in 6 games in their respective series.
Carlos Boozer is the x-factor for Chicago; if he outplays Chris Bosh - Chicago WILL win and win easily (as we saw from a dominant game 1 victory)
For Dallas, the x-factor is Jason Kidd. Russell Westbrook is faster, stronger & more importantly younger - but Kidd has to have a great series so Westbrook’s output isn’t too imbalanced in Oklahoma City’s favor.
I so agree with this. Kidd is the one to watch in this series.
As gratifying as a Mavericks/Heat match up would be, I think it may not happen.
And it would make my brother happy as, in his words, he wants Lebron James to “cry and suffer.” He would suffer even more if he didn’t make it to the finals, I think.

Bring the Thunder, and we will provide the lightning ;-)
Wish I could have watched it, although I fell asleep halfway into it while trying to just check the scores online.
I’m hoping they end up tying this series 3-3 for a couple of reasons:
1. How exciting would that 7th game be to watch? No way I would miss it.
2. The Mavs get more time to rest.
Either way, it’s a team in our time zone, which I am extremely grateful for…. >.<
So who do you think we would fare better against? Memphis or Oklahoma City?
