I feel sorry to Cleveland. after loosing Lebron they are now at the bottom. They should on the playoff.

I pick the Chicago Bulls to come out of the Eastern Conference and if the Bulls do come out of the east, I would want the Los Angeles Lakers to come out of the West. Just like what happened twenty years ago on the 1991 NBA Finals where many dubbed it as the Dream Match where Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls versus the mythical Los Angeles Lakers dynasty of the 80's lead by Magic Johnson. The Bulls won their first championship in five games as Johnson passed the torch to Michael Jordan.

Come 2011, it could be Derrick Rose versus Kobe Bryant.

Back in 1991: The symbolic passing of the torch:

Come 2011: The potential of Bryant passing the torch to Rose?
