I would much rather see the Cavs win it than the Lakers, but right now I would have to say LA wins just because their the defending champs with better overall players than the Cavs.

Lakers doesn't have better players than the Cavs. I hope Oklahoma beats the Lakers LOL. I hope the Cavs will win the championship too.

One of the powers that be (http://sportsmediawatch.blogspot.com/2010/04/smw-q-with-doug-white.html) over at the Four Letter Network crafting a spin job for why there's such a low amount of games on ABC this year:

SMW: So ABC will definitely be airing just nine playoff games before the [NBA] Finals this year. And a lot of NBA fans, the biggest problem they’ve had with ABC’s coverage since the beginning is the lack of playoff games – especially compared to NBC, which aired upwards of 20 or 30 games, even six on one weekend. So has there ever been any thought given to maybe, on a given weekend on ABC, a doubleheader of playoff games on Saturday and then a doubleheader on Sunday, or is there going to continue to be a movement towards more games on ESPN?

White: I guess what I would say to that is, ESPN has proven to be a very viable platform. We’re in just about 100 million homes. So the distribution is very comparable to that of ABC. And a lot of times, we really look at the two networks as interchangeable. While ABC does enjoy a slightly higher distribution than ESPN, it’s not by much. I’ve actually never heard that complaint before, or seen that complaint before, that there are more games on ESPN as opposed to ABC. Typically, viewers follow the games wherever they are. The way we kind of look at it is that the viewers will also be switching over to ESPN to follow the games. In terms of moving more games to ABC, we analyze each season on a season-by-season basis. So next year, if we see something in terms of the way we schedule the playoffs, or if we want to rethink things, that option is always open for us. But we really do believe that ESPN is just as viable a platform as ABC, and we believe that the fans and viewers out there that want to watch NBA basketball are going to turn to ESPN to watch as well.

Apparently this cat didn't get the recent memo about ABC's affiliates complaining about the lack of live sports programming (instead being used as an afterthought-type ESPN overflow outlet).

My brother told me today that Oklahoma beat the Lakers yesterday by 21 points hahahahahahahahahahahaha. So now the series is tied. I hope Oklahoma can pull off a upset. I'm disappointed in the Atlanta Hawks. They got blown out by Milwaukee yesterday. Just think if Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd were playing for the Bucks. Atlanta might not be leading the series if they were playing. Atlanta at times shoot too many jumpshots. Miami is about to get swept by Boston hahahahahahahahaha. Orlando is probably gonna sweep Charlotte. I'm surprised Utah is leading Denver right now 2-1. I want Denver to win. Portland and Phoenix series is tied. That's a surprise.

Chicago, Charolette, and Miami can't be voted now since they are now eliminated.

I was wrong...

It looks like it may be Celtics vs. Lakers...for the umpteenth time, and The Lakers will pwn again!
