Detroit, after last night I think they may just stand a chance at the Bulls win record.\n\nSan Antonio, still the best in the west.\n\nI'll take Miami for number three, as long as Shaq is healthy, otherwise I like the Nets as the third team.

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.

This series is going to be as evenly matched as the Spurs/Mavs series, and I honestly think it's anyones' game! Detroit has shown their weaknesses against (of all teams) the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Heat has got to be hungry to beat the team that knocked them out last year. I think this series has the ability to go to 7, and if it does, I think the Pistons will win it. If the Heat can steal one on Detroit's home court in the first two games--I think Miami will win. We shall see though...! =)

Spurs...because they're the fundamentalists of the NBA.  See ya Mavs in 7 and then it's on to take the Clippers or the Suns in either 5 or 6.  And, finally, as long as Detroit doesn't get too cocky and lose to Cleveland (which would be fine with me), I say it'll be a rematch of last year, and a repeat...Spurs in 7.

Neither of those will win. Miami heat will win. Did you see Shq in the begging of the first game. he had five blocks and many points.

PHOENIX\nAS LONG AS NASH IS PLAYIN WELL

Since everyone else is picking the favorites I am bold enough to pick the NJ Nets. They are the underdog and look at what Gorge Mason did. They have Vince, Kidd, Jefferson. Their Center is only getting better. They have a win streak going that they only allowed 92 points per game.

celtics going to win this game. there defensive presence in tyson chandler is not playing. but the celtics have great depth. hopefully all these players will be here come playoff time

I definately think the pistons will win. I love the Pistons. Did you see Raseed Wallace on the first quarter of Saturday's game. He was 5 for 5 and knocked down 11 points in 4 minutes. Rasheed Wallace has his mind on the prize. Chauncey Billups is just amazing under pressure. I am not even going to get started on Ben Wallace. NO one can drive against him. Rip city is just unstoppable when he does his best move, the curl. Tayshaun prince is amazing. He can play defense and can shoot the deep ball. NO question about it. The Pistons are going to stomp the Bucks in the next two games, and eventually win the entire thing.

I hope so. They started out 0-9 last year but then pulled it together and actually won home court advantage for the first round. Maybe they can come back from their slow start and make the playoffs again. If Tyson Chandler can keep playing the way he has the last few games they got a good shot.

I think you can vote at www.nba.com now for your starters in this year's midseason classic to be held at Las Vegas.\n\nBased on the options you have given, my forwards would be Nowitzki and Duncan; guard's Allen (though I know the fans are going to give it to Kobe Bryant) and Nash; and at center, Yao.\n\nHope this was helpful.

The Los Angeles Clippers have the best opportunity to upset in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Even though the Clippers have the better record, Denver is the higher seed because they won their division and received the #3 seed in the Western Conference. The Clippers play good defense and shoot the ball better than the Nuggets. Corey Maggette is an all-star caliber if he's healthy. They will get help from Shaun Livingston and Vlad Radmanovic off of the bench. My prediction is the Clippers in 6 or 7 games
