This year in the NBA playoffs, it's looking like the finals are going to come down to the Los Angeles Lakers against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron and the Cavs are playing unstoppable basketball, and the Lakers are looking like the power in the West with Andrew Bynum back in the lineup. In the East, it won't be the Celtics this year without perrenial all-star Kevin Garnett who is out with a season-ending knee injury. Orlando was playing well also until half-way through the season, their point guard went out with a torn labrum. The first round playoff matchup of Celtics Vs. Bulls is one of the best first round series I have seen in recent memory. 5 games of the 7 game series have come down to the final possession with a few of the games going into overtime (one double-OT game and one triple-OT game.)
My MVP for the regular season is Lebron James. No one can match his athleticism and drive to win. Run-ups for MVP are Kobe Bryant, last years MVP, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul. Rookie of the Year is most definitely Derrick Rose for the Chicago Bulls. Other rookies were impressive, but no one performed like he did this year, leading the bulls to the playoffs. Defensive Player of the Year is Dwight Howard for the Magic. His blocking and rebounding ability are unmatched.
With the Lakers Vs. the Cavaliers finals, my choice for the Championship is the Los Angeles Lakers.
