Spurs because of Duncan.

I would go with Pistons v. Mavs in the finals and go with the Pistons in 6.  The Pistons took Browns D and added Saunders scoring and offensive mindset and created one of the most complete teams in the NBA in recent memory.  I think the Mavs will make it because they have an easier road (given that the suns beat the lakers) and they have a tremendous home court advantage.  They were also able to beat Memphis quickly and that has given them time to rest before the next series.  Also, Dirk poses a multiple threat with his versatility on the court and Johnson has shown to be a great coach.  In the end, I think that the Pistons will be too much with too many weapons on both offense and defense. That is what I would bet on.  Personally I would like to see the Kings and Pistons but that seems highly unlikely.

If Allen Iverson is healthy, I would pick the 76ers over the Rockets. Rockets just arent that good this season. But you never did say which one is your team.

As much as I hate to say it....it will be Detroit. They're hungry, have something to prove & flat out the best team from top to bottom so far this season. They play as a team & are very well coached....& they have that rare ability to turn up their defense to that next level: And everyone knows that Defense wins championships.  Miami is overrated but they will show up come playoff time...New Jersey has caught fire & will definately cause problems....San Antonio is about as consistent as it gets but I'm not sure if Tim Duncan will be 100% come postseason.....Dallas is looking good but they won't beat the Suns or the Spurs in a 7 game series....& the Suns will only win if they average 120 points a game in the playoffs, the postseason is a half court game.       Detroit over San Antonio  4-2

I'll pick the Lakers because they are the team I've always cheered for ~ they exceeded expectations last year and really had a nice push into the playoffs. They were the second youngest team last year, I think this year they will be very good. \n\nNow. On to reality! \n\n1. Chicago Bulls look really good. \n2. LeBron's Turn, the world wants this kid to win, win, win. \n3. Miami will tank. They relied on emotion and a fourth-quarter D-Wade every time, this can not go on. \n4. I'd keep a wary eye on the Mavericks, they are very hungry and well coached. \n5. It's the sunset years for the Spurs, so sad to see, what a great decade and what a great team. \n6, Steven Nash won't three-peat the MVP, he's just too old and rickety. If Amare doesn't return to his old self, the Suns are way too soft in the middle. \n7. The Clippers are better than everyone thinks -- I think they'll shock a few teams who discount them in the playoffs. \n8. Detroit and the Pacers both are headed south. \n9. I have a soft spot in my heart for Houston. I like Yao and Tracy, didn't they pick up someone? Shane Battier maybe? Some role player who'll really help that team. I've not seen them yet this year though. \n\nSo, I'll pick the Lakers over the Bulls in six games. Phil Jackson is a much better coach than anyone has given him credit for. Like Riles in the Showtime era, they think he just rolls the ball out on the court. Phil knows the 82 game season is just that, a long tune up time for the playoffs. His teams are usually peaking going into the playoffs instead of exhausted like so many eager coaches teams. Kobe proved himself with 81 points and a scoring title -- hopefully he's finally matured into an adult.

that is a hard question to answer so telling you now wouldn't really be worth it. Heats, Spurs, Pistons one of the Three will carry home the glory. But i want Heats to win and they can if they get their team in prefect sync. cause thats an all star team you looking at

I go with the Mavs for several reasons. They have the momentum of beating the Spurs.  Also, they play better defense than Phoenix.  Only way Phoenix can win is by playing up tempo and hitting their 3's.  Without Amare, they lack the inside presence.  Also, Phoenix has gone to game 7 in each of their series so far.  I think they are tired.  If Nash is not healthy, they will probably lose too.

Detroit. They had thier championship stolen from them last year. They will definetly win this year. The league wont let the team that defines teamwork lose because of bad whistles this year.

I'll go with the Jazz, primarily because the Jazz are doing so well at what they do best - play as a team.  The Kobe-show is fun to watch on the highlight reel, but to really get the job done, you've got to get everybody involved.  Even Michael Jordan played as a team player and he was 10 times the individual player that Kobe is.\n\nAnd as for the guy who said "The Mormons" will win . . . none of the Jazz players are Mormon.

clearly they will not win.. dallas will beat them and if not then heat/pistons will. and i think it will be pistons/dallas in finals and pistons in 6

Chicago Bulls in the east, they were already a tough defensive team last year, now they got Big Ben. Miami's too old, I see Chicago as the east champs and they'll be too tough for Lebron to handle.\n\nSan Antonio Spurs in the west, the way they been playin early on you can see they want another title. Clippers look like they'll give Duncan a run for his money though.

i think that Miami will win it all this year. they are a huge improvement with shaq, wade, and morning on the team. They actually work together as a team

1) It will be detroit and Dallas...in the finals but each team has hard road getting there...other possiblilities are the Heat and the Spurs or the Nets and Pheonix...\n\n2) Kobe "ball hog" bryant is the best player you will ever see in this generation...so get over yourself...he makes his whole team better, look it up...but to answer your question, yes, they are currently the seventh seed in the West...a few games ahead of Sacramento and a few games back of Memphis...\n\n3) Grant Hill is so f'd up with his 100000 injuries that he decided that he needed to admit himself to a nursing home, and that's where he's been ever since...\n\n4) Dwayne will not take the MVP trophy simply for one reason...Shaq...with him on their team Wade will never win a MVP trophy...plus there are better players more deserving of it out there...Chauncy Billups, Steve Nash, Elton Brand, Kobe "MVP" Bryant, Vince Carter...

The winner of the NBA Eastern Confrence is going to be the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are one of the greatest TEAMs in the history of the NBA. I have never seen such great teamwork and underrated talent on one roster before.\n\nDetroit can match up and beat anybody in the NBA. Hamilton, Billups are playing smart, terrific basketball while Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace are owning the paint. Antonio McDyess is also a good big man off the bench. \n\nMark my words, The Detroit Pistons are going to win the NBA Championship this year unless either Rip Hamilton or Chauncey Billups gets injured.
