Detroit Pistons, it is kind of obvious.

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.

Yeah you might be right, HEAT and PISTONS in the East with MIAMI winning in 6. But for the West, I'm putting my money on the CLIPPERS right now. They may face the SPURS who I think will have a hard time beating them but if for any case, they face the SUNS, then its the SUNS and the HEAT for the NBA Championship. Is it hot in here or what?

N'orleans Hornets!  OK, that's a little bit of wishful/wanting thinking. :)\n\nI think that Lakers will win based on their stats.

As sad as it may be, I believe that the Pistons will win.  GO CLEVELAND!

I'm tired of the same teams in the Finals, so I hope the Mavs, Clippers, Suns, Cavs, or Nets make it.  Of those teams, I think the Mavs have a realistic chance.

Thats Easy.  The Pistons are going all the way.  they'll meet the heat and win in 6 games and if San Antonio can get Shaq and Manu healthy, there will be a repeat of last years Finals.  Except Detroit will win in 5.

The Final could possibly be Detroit and San Antonio. I know it's a boring and obvious prediction, but these 2 teams have what it takes, have been there before and they know how to win it. Experience does count. \n\nI'll go with the Spurs in 7

I'm not certain, but I'm betting the L.A. Lakers.  I'm GLAD it's not the best team in the NBA right now, the Detroit Pistons!

The Detroit Pistons will probably win, but I hope Miami can beat them somehow and get to the finals and make it exciting against Dallas.

Pistons all the way.  The only reason they went out so early this year was because the heat slowly poisoned them...  Anyways the pistons are so back next year with a vengeance!  \n\nAnd who said the Suns... are you kidding me?!

Spurs are the deepest team in NBA right now.  Especially in playoff, it's a very important factor.\n\nI think they will win the west conference.  For the championship, Detroit still have a slight favor.
