Who's playin in June?

Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic.
Who's the best? Or is it someone else?



These teams have had the eyes and ears of the basketball nation as we are about to come up on All-Star weekend.
As we approach the All Star weekend, MVP talks are already being talked about, and the question is simple, who's it going to be this year. The obvious contestants, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers as of now hold a slight lead for the best record in the NBA over the Lebron James driven Cavaliers.

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are in complete charge of the west and with a bench that continues to improve each and every game you have to ask what bench can match up with the Lakers. Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic, and Jordan Farmar have been injured and have been out several games in the past two weeks. Farmar has been out for 12 games until he played Sunday evening and came
back looking good as ever. Pau Gasol who is averaging nearly a
double double a game, has been improving as the Lakers
look towards a promising post-season.
It can be said that the Boston Celtics have the best starting five in the NBA. With Ray Allen's shooting Paul Pierce's leadership Kevin Garnett's amazing defense and Rajon Rondo's great playing which continues to improve throughout the season, the Celtics starting five is a force to be reckoned with.
Paul Pierce.
The problem lies with the Celtics second team can they keep up with the well played and depth of maybe the Lakers second
team? As you saw on Christmas day the Lakers second team, and bench points clearly out weighed the Celtics which ultimately led the Lakers to a win. There are a lot of things to think about before the finals come around in June. My pick the Lakers to take it all in June. The series to watch this post season Celtics and Cavaliers. With all respect to the Orlando Magic I think the Boston Celtics are aged and well experienced, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are too hot to not be in a top spot this year, watch out for this years finals are gonna shape up to be a historic one.
Watch as Phil Jackon seeks his 10th NBA championship and the Boston Celtics seek their 2nd championship in a row. With both the Cavs and Magic on their tails saying and showing they have something to prove.
Look forward to more as the Playoffs and Finals come near.
