Join as we watch would could potentially be the last NBA game of the season…unless you count the WNBA.

It’s now okay to don your jerseys, authentics only please.

Keep the chatter here folks. And no switch-siding lol.

No it isn’t Lakers versus Celtics. And no it isn’t LeBron versus Kobe. But this year’s finals still features two teams that play an entertaining style of basketball focused on offensive execution, team play and athleticism. There’s still plenty of star power with Kobe and Dwight Howard, even if The King has retreated to his summer palace. And arguably, these have been the best two teams over the grueling grind that is the NBA playoffs.

In preparation for a potentially epic Finals, The Crew’s Patrick M, Sam C and MZ are breaking down the match-ups and committing their predictions to cyberspace. Listen close and take notes.

The Breakdown:

Point Guard: Rafer Alston (12.7, 2.50, 4.4*) vs. Derek Fisher (7.1, 1.8, 2.4)

Jameer Nelson may give it a go, but I think the Magic would be wise to pull a Drew Bledsoe on his ass (for this year at least.) Skip To My Lou’s performance the last two rounds has been a hidden key to the Magic’s success. He played Rajon Rondo to a virtual draw and helped Read the rest of this entry »

Before I start my hat goes off to Orlando. They weathered the storm and knocked out the defending champs in Boston in spite of a media and leadership meltdown. Of course the series would’ve been different if KG wasn’t injured. Still, he couldn’t do much beyond cheer and jeer while his team got ran by 19.

Now let’s get to the focus behind this debate. Who REALLY believes that Orlando will beat Cleveland? Read the rest of this entry »

Last year’s two Final’s squad both facing elimination in Game 7′s?

Outmatched perhaps in skilled personnel but not will, the Rockets have effectively smacked the bully and found out he’s not as tough as everyone supposed. This year was destined Read the rest of this entry »

The Magic extended their season by one more game. Now, let’s see if the Rockets can do the same after taking a 40 point drubbing in Game 5. Read the rest of this entry »

LAKERS VS. ROCKETS

Ron’s in. Yao’s out. Kobe & the Lakers are thanking the heavens, because this series just got a whole lot easier. I’m really surprised Yao made it this far in the series, because I thought he was done when he went down in game one. Not to say that I was wishing ill will towards him, but like McGrady, it’s a question of when and not if he’ll get injured. As a consolation, Derek Fisher is back, so Aaron Brooks could have a big game because D. Fish looks like a bull fighter trying to guard him. Couple that with Artest having a big game on both sides of the ball & this could actually be a game. But if he starts chucking up three’s or the Lakers keep feeding their bigs down low, this will look like a Cavaliers game.

CELTICS VS. MAGIC

Does Ray Allen have another 50 point game in him? Because Boston sure needs it. Hell, the Celtics will settle somewhere in 20-25 point range after his eight point performance in game three. They also need to shore up their defense as Turkoglu & Lewis ran roughshod over them combining for 52 points. It should be a competitive game to say the least, but Boston better dig in because 3-1 deficits are virtually impossible to come back from. With Rafer Alston back, the Magic have to at least be peeking ahead to a showdown with Cleveland.
