My heart would like to see the Miami win, just to shut up those writers who think Shaq is too old, hes only 34, but my head says Phoenix.

Gotta go with Detroit. They play with a team first attitude. That always seems to work in the NBA.

The Dallas Mavericks!

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

I'm gonna go with Florida. They return every single starter that they had last year during their title run. Also, they added some great recruits to the mix. UNC will be pretty good, and Kansas will too. Arizona has my main man Nic Wise, they also have the fantastic soph Marcus Williams, and they also have Jawaan McClellan. But a squad you forgot was Ohio State University...

spurs and pistons in the finals. whoever has homecourt advantage takes it.

I think that this year's final will be a repeat of 2005 with the Pistons coming up against the Spurs. Like last year it will be a very tight series, though the Pistons will have home court advantage this time. Although I am a big Spurs fan, I admit that the odds favour Detroit with home court advantage, especially considering the two large defeats that San Antonio suffered at the hands of Detroit this season. However, I believe that San Antonio have a deeper team and they are peaking at the right time and can repeat as Champions.

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

The San Antonio Spurs. They're the defending champs and have even done better than last year by just setting a franchise record 63 wins and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Duncan and Ginobili are all healthy now. Their playoff experience and deep bench will lead them to another championship this year.

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!

Everyone is saying the Pistons, but I wouldn't bet on it. Surely they'll cruise through the Eastern Conference, but the Suns will be unstoppable come playoff time... Amare will be back with Nash and Marion, and an emerging supporting cast of Diaw, Bell, and  Jones/House who can all put up big numbers on any given night...

The Heat. With Stackhouse out tonight, we will definitely win. All we have to do then is go to Dallas and win one game. Easier said than done i know but as an avid Heat fan, i know we can pull it off. GO HEAT

My money is on Duke, JJ Redick is ready to lead this team to a championship. He's got the back-up as well in Williams. Also you got the coach K factor on their side. Although UCONN is looking good.
