The NBA playoffs are upon us, and it has been one heck of a season. So who do you think are the favorites to win it all this year? Who could be the darkhorse?

That would make me pretty happy. If that happens though, they will be comparing LeBron James to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan even more in the better player argument. People who are for Kobe and Jordan, always use the rings as one of their main arguments, so I'm sure there will be a lot more talks now that LeBron at least has one ring. Regardless, Kobe's five rings and Jordan's six rings are better than LeBron's one ring, but ESPN is still always trying to compare LeBron to them.
 
I'm sorry Apeman, but your silly Mavs won't win back to back titles haha. I have some dark horses this year including the grizzlies after last years nice run. Another, is the Celtics who seem to have a chip on their shoulder to prove they can still contend for a title. Lastly, the Nuggets could have a nice run I'm feeling and put up a fight in the second round.

Rings are a team accomplishment. You can't analyze talent by rings. Lebron has been better than Kobe for several years now, its just a matter how polished their careers will be at the end. If Lebron was playing with the early 00' Lakers, he would have a couple rings by now. Instead he had to play with Cleveland... We all know how good they are.

I was surprised to even see the Pacers in the playoffs. I thought they sucked every year. This season is a bit different, I guess. Danny Granger is actually pretty good, but there isn't much talent around him. I don't see them getting past the first round.
 
My predictions: East: Heat over Bulls. West: Thunder over Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are my darkhorse this year. I also could see Indiana beating the Heat in the second round possibly.
