The Denver Nuggets are on the verge of sweeping the New Orleans Hornets, currently leading 2-0. The Dallas Mavericks currently lead the Ginobli-less San Antonio Spurs 2-1, and, concluding the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets and Yao Ming are tied 1-1 with Brandon Roy and the Portland Trail Blazers. As for the tighter Eastern Conference, King James and his Cleveland Cavaliers are continuing their near-perfect home record with a 2-0 lead over the Detroit Pistons, who are continuing to decline in their Eastern Conference legacy. The Garnett-less Boston Celtics are winning 2-1 versus the Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose and his Chicago Bulls, and the Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic are tied 1-1 with the Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, the Atlanta Hawks are tied 1-1 with the Miami Heat. In the Eastern Conference, there is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers will come out, and, as for the Western Conference, Kobe's Lakers are bound to face them in the NBA Finals. Now, the battle of these two superpowers, possibly the series for the MVP, is THE one to expect - this battle will be a epic duel between to of the greatest players in the history of the NBA - watch for it...
