mantis23

dallas all the way baby.

allmotor_2000

Ummmm... hello!?!

Lakers all the way

Sdog2012

go Twolves!

thealliance15

if kobe plays its over.. if he doesn't its close between LA and Dallas

pgatour1

I pretty much agree with everything you said.
Except World Champs: Mavs

rabs99

i watched the lakers game last night. malone and payton both looked good picking up the offence. and they looked pretty good without kobe. so if kobe plays it will either be them or the spurs.

i also think that the kings window of opertunity is just about closed.

Black CL-S 4-Life

The Mavs ain't winning shit...hell they got rid of their best player Van Exel. It will be San Antonio or LA.

mc222

My Sixers are commin up BIG this year Get it?

ferizzo

My Prediction...the Knicks will suck again!

pgatour1

Good CALL.

18anatak

as much as i want my MAGIC to win it, its not gonna happen, i do predict that they ll make it to the Eastern Finals though.

as for the NBA champs, i'm gonna jump on the wagon along with everyone and say, Lakers. how can you not? they're stacked, if they gel together, they ll win it, kobe or not.

MVP-Give it up for my man T-Mac!
ROY- Melo

hottest jersey to wear this season- Bulls, No. 33, Pippen.

rabs99

dont forget the heat.

and my pick for team most likly to get the most losses record...... the JAZZ.

JakeCL

coach of the year DON NELSON!?

18anatak

edit- most losses = Atlanta Hawks

ferizzo

aHHHH, I remember when this was actually a good game Knicks vs Heat! I guess it still is if you are looking for some comedy!

Bulldog01

The Nugs will be atrocious, despite Carmelo. Man, that's a disgraceful f*ckin' franchise these days. :shakehd:

rabs99

they had some of the best matchups in the playoffs and regular season. never forget van gundy runnin on the floor and gettin smacked. that was a great, hard nosed, heated rivalry.

Sdog2012

Anybody think lebron will have a good season? i think he'll be pretty weak this first season, i mean he was playing with highschoolers and highschoolers are only so good... itll prolly take him a couple seasons before he blows up

18anatak

Lebron will have an ok season, i think melo is more polished and will win rookie of the year, under the radar.

Gilgamesh

Dude, the Jazz already got dibs on that.

brianlin87

iTrader: (1)

if kobe doesn't play phil will get jordan, either way... 2004 champions WILL be the lakers

HyDrOpOnIkToKa

san antonio or dallas got it sewn up

lowpost

looks about right......

don't count out my AAU Warriors

CL Hype

hey die hard warrior fan right here as well...They will suck but at least fun to watch. Dunleavy should be the most improved played if he gets some PT.

What's up with all the Mavericks love? Is it just regional loyalty, or do you guys actually think they have a shot? They didn't belong in the Conf. Finals last year. They made it cause SAC was banged up. They'll be a playoff team for sure, but no way they reach the Finals.

lakers

liquid_x

the heat has a bunch of talent. i just dont think they will be able to mesh together good enough.

Guf0923

Lakers with ease! And like they reported on ESPN, if Kobe can't play, they'll just get MJ, then it's over...either way, this year is the Lakers' year, once again!

mustangman

It's never a sure thing--injuries, trials all can come into play. I am very interested to see the Lakers team develop, on paper they are the favorite but a lot can happen in an 82 game season. I can't wait for the NBA be to come back; I have been watching ESPN Classic since the end of June to tide me over.

VTEChump

West

1. San Antonio
