Hmmm... I'd like to see Cavs VS Spurs, that would be great. An awesome, defensive team that has won 3 championships, VS the superstar, LBJ, and his supporting cast. I'd like that. In all reality though, I still think the Cavs are at least a year away. I think it will be Heat VS Spurs, with whoever has home court advantage winning the series:)
i really dont see the heat making the finals this year..but i think the spurs or phoenix have a good chance of makin the final...but this all depends if amare is healthy
I am obligated to put the Jazz in since they are my team. They have started nicely with two solid wins over the Rockets (look good this year) and the Suns who are always a dangerous team. I think the Jazz have a shot if they stay healthy but this is probably who will actually be playing:
Cavs and Mavs
It's easy for me to pick the Mavs since Dirk is my fave player and they are a straight up strong team. I can't wait to see how the year pans out!
The champions will most likely be a Western Conference team, particularly the Dallas Mavericks or Phoenix Suns. I see one of those two teams in the finals, along with either the Heat, Cavs, Pistons, or Bulls.
I'm interested in how the Melo/AI/JR collabo in Denver is gonna work out. And my Hornets are playing decently without CP3 lately, especially Tyson Chandler(someone Phil Jackson told Andrew Bynum he needs to watch alot of film on). But to stay on topic, the Heat are gonna be right there near the Finals, but it's too close to call right now...
The Utah Jazz. Just kidding, I don't think they will, but it would be funny here (Salt Lake City) to suddenly see everyone go nuts and jump on that bandwagon.
Why, the Heat?? they dont play like champions anymore.. they are below .500. I doubt Heat will be in the finals.
The Suns or the Mavs have better chances of goin to the NBA finals..

don't count out the Spurs, when it comes playoff time, they are the team to beat...
no they are not, the mavericks beat them last year in seven games, they are the team to beat in the playoffs. The Mavericks and Suns will go to seven games, but it just depends on who gets the breaks in those games that determine the western conference champion. For the eastern conference, I'm going with the chicago bulls, or the pistons.

last year the Spurs are not 100% because of Duncan's right foot injury also Manu and TP are ailing some injuries and instead they fought to the Mavs and went on seven game, but this time it's different Tim is playing like in his 2005 season when they've won a championship and Manu is healthy again the same with Parker.

Yeah we will just have to see when it happens though because by then Dirk, Tim Duncan, Manu, Tony Parker and all of the key players in that game could be hurt. Doubt it, but it's possible.
The Timberwolves. They’re going to go on a streak after that win over the Suns.* *Be gentle, we Timberwolves fans haven’t had much to cheer about.duxup
You have had Kevin Garnett scoring 44 points. That's enough for you.:P

I want to say the Heat will come out of the East, but I don't think Shaq will be healthy when they need him. So for now I am leaning towards Detroit (I would like to see Washington). Out of the West I see the Suns who will go on to win the championship.
Dallas vs Raptors.....i know thats crazy with the raptors but no team in the East is good and i think with the way they played last night against the Wizards they have a big chance of going to the finals this year

Pheonix - I'd love to see them win it all but I feel they just don't have what it takes to go deep enough in the playoffs, especially if they come across a strong defensive team like San Antonio. Then again, they have shown that they can take care of Dallas when fully healthy so anything can happen. Dallas - Best chance at taking it in my opinion, very solid core. San Antonia - Another strong bet, although they've not played their best basketball so far this season Chicago - Probably the best team in the East right now, best chance at making it all the way. Detroit - Just not the same without Big Ben, still solid especially after signing Webber though, expect them to go deep too. Ideal match-up: Phoenix vs. Chicago Most probable match-up: Dallas vs. Chicago

I'm more disappointed with the front office and management in Minnesota than I am with how t-wolve's season has went so far. They don't have much talent outside of KG and they're still a competitive team.
