Uhhhh...Maby because there not the best team in the NBA.  Another reason might be to say that they SUCK, and they Can't win without IVERSON.    \n\nGO PISTONS!!!!

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.

Im a die hard mavs fan, and i say it was a lack of class. The fans should have stayed and applauded the Heat for a well played series. They beat the best the mavs had to offer. In my book that demands respect. The heat, regardlees of affiliation, is the best team in the nba this year. They have the trophy.

When you have two of the best all around players in Allen Iverson and Chris Webber you have the tools you need to make the playoffs especially coming out of the east. They also have solid role players in people like Igudala,Samuel Dalembert (solid center), and a great shooter like Kyle Krover they have all the pieces, they are not a bad team. How they don't make they playoffs is unbelievable the chemistry and the caoching is awful.

The Phoenix Suns are definately slacking. The team this year looks nothing like the championship contenders from last year's NBA Finals. They are trying to get Amare Stoudamire back into rotation which is a bit challenging because it changes the lineup a bit. If you think about it, the Mavericks are off to a bad start too. In due time, the team may get better, but they need to improve quickly.

They were a very formidable team when the season started, but they just kept getting banged up as the season went on.  By the time they got to the playoffs, they were ripe for the picking.  Plus Forsberg won't be back until January 2007.  IF, IF the Flyers can stay in at least 10th in the East (and healthy) until Forsberg gets back, then they will be back in the playoffs in 2007.

Yeah they have five players. Best five players in the NBA. Four out of the five are all stars. The fith should have been he's the best all around player of the five.

Too many injuries for the Rockets. They've played 5 games without Yao or T-Mac. And Yao was gone, I think, for 20-something games. Also, McGrady was injured for a reasonable amount of games to bring them down. The Rockets are coming back, though. I like them, and I think they deserve to make the playoffs.

No they wont make the playoffs.  I didnt think they would make it even with im healthy.

At this point, they have potential to do great things in the NBA playoffs, I felt at the beginning of the season that they would have a great chance to upset the heat as a 6th or 7th seed, and now that looks very possible.  They are playing at their apex right now, and could carry that streak into the playoffs.  They are better than every team in the east besides miami and detroit, and can play with miami.  They also took care of detroit convincingly a few games ago, and historically they have played well against the pistons.  When the pistons were a pure defensive stalwart, they stifled the nets, but now with a more offensive tone to their team, the nets have a better chance at dominating the pistons.  In fact, I think the nets match up better with the pistons than the heat.  Who knows what happens if they do reach the NBA finals, if they meet the spurs, the spurs could very well fatigued by that point, or have a hurting tim duncan.  One other point about the nets everyone should realize is that they are a very good defensive team, which always is a plus in the playoffs.  They could end up anywhere from the 2nd round to winning it all in my opinion.

There is no way the Sixers would trade Iverson within the division. They are not that stupid.....hmm, they might be.

The Clippers use to be the sorriest team in the NBA. and as u can see they are improving. its been years since they made the playoffs.

Boston's a young team. When their young guys get some experience they'll have a lot more success. I mean they have too much young talent to be a sub par team for long. Al Jefferson, Delonte West, Gerald Green, Orien Greene, these guys are gonna carry this team in the future.

Poor guys, Knicks and twolves fans:( Heck what am i sayin, im a lakers fan(were doin a lil bit better, but were just playoff roadkill waitin to happen), but i thought the knicks should have been good this year, they have the talent, i dunno what their problem is, but Jay will only help them improve.

the Clippers are a pretty good team, they made it pretty big in the playoffs this season, and maybe they do have a chance..with Elton Brand and Sam Cassell there.. they could really go a long way, especially with Cassell's good leadership..only flaw: he kinda talks too much sometimes and he's too relaxed when bringing the ball: he even got called for an 8-second violation once! but nonetheless, the Clippers are a great team, and I think they would deserve to win this if and when it happens.

The Spurs are a great team. They are definately not an overrated team, but they don't have as many fans as the a Championship should have. \n\nThey are soo good because of a carefully managed team, and are one of the NBA's most balanced teams. (Pistons are slightly better) Player contracts are all low, with the exception of Tim Duncan, the team is easily the deepest team in the NBA. The Spurs, top 5 bench players would easily beat the Knicks, Bobcats, Hawks, or Blazers starting lineup.\n\nAs long as Genobili, Parker, and Duncan stay together, they will be a Top 4-5 team for the next 2-4 years.
