I'm hoping the Cavs can still win this series. As a Red Sox fan, I know it's possible.

So who are you guys taking? Lakers or Magic


I'll take the Lakers in 7, as they have the home court advantage.

I'm rooting for Orlando. Don't think they would win a Game 7 in LA, so I'll say 6 games.

Yeah, Orlando in 6 ... that's the ticket ...
