Right now we're all talking about Kobe vs LeBron, but 5 years from now we'll be talking about the Thunder.

I'll cheer for these two former Golden State Warriors over Captain Jack--- anyday.
Mickael Pietrus FTW.
Matt Barnes FTW. [via www.nba.com]
Prediction: Magic by 6

#7 San Antonio Spurs @ #2 Dallas Mavericks
5pm PST | TNT
Without the golden crowd the Mavs have a real shot at winning it all.
Is it just me or do these guys meet up in the playoffs every single season? This could be one of the NBA's all-time greatest rivalries if the Snores weren't so boring.
Prediction: Mavs by 3

#6 Portland Trailblazers @ #3 Phoenix Suns
Jason Richardson for Brandan Wright? Brilliant! (sarcasm)
Happy Playoffs!
