I think the Dallas Mavericks will be the nba champs this year. Does anyone agree with me ? yes or no and why ?

I agree with you. The mavs will win because of Avery Johnson. He has the team spreading the ball more and playing more defense. Those are the keys to success. No one can stop the Mavericks. The Mavs just beat the Spurs recently. They have beat the Suns. They gave the Pistons the worse loss of the season. They definitely have a good chance of winning everything.

HECK YEAH it's gonna be fun! For the first time in a long time the playoffs are actually proving to be ENTERTAINING ( if only the refs would let the players decide the game more, though)! There is no SURE THING this year, which I think only adds to the fascination! Personally I see it being Spurs and Heat in the finals, but who knows?! All I do know, is that it is going to be a great race to the end....! =)

I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)

I think the Spurs are somethin' special, and have to go with them! They are looking GREAT right now, and after coming back after being down 3-1 to the Mavericks; a team that caused EVERYONE trouble this year? That's not exactly easy...! They've proven they can beat the Suns (last years' playoffs is a prime example), and the Pistons and Heat are not as good as they were last year; with the Pistons showing signs of weakness against the inexperienced Cavaliers. Case in point? San Antonio all the way! The Defending Champs are the "team to beat" until beaten, and as long as they are standing they are a force to be reckoned with! =)

I'll admit my bias right up front....I am a Spurs fan, but I really think they will repeat this year.  It's not about who had the best regular season or who was blowing out everybody else in November.  Its about who is peaking in June, and in typical Gregg Poppovich fashion, the Spurs are beginning to build the right kind of momentum at the right time.  One qualifier, though, is that, if Manu Ginobilli and Tim Duncan aren't both healthy, it will be difficult for them to repeat.  If that is the case, I would pick the Pistons with the Mavericks as a dark horse.

Here's the thing. If you look at the stat sheet for this season, I'm supposed to pick Dallas mavericks because 5 players average in double figures for this team with Dirk leading the way with 28 a game. On the other hand, if you look at the Heat's line-up, with the exception of Wade and Haslem, this team is a championship team when they were in their prime. Most of this players were franchise players from their old teams so you cannot count their heart out even if they have aged a bit. But like what I said, Miami without Wade and Haslem is already capable of winning a championship, so with them in the mix pretty much sums up my answer. Its the MIAMI HEAT who will emerge as the NBA CHAMPs this year because of this 2 guys. Nobody can guard D.Wade and U. Haslem can make life miserable for Dirk. These 2 things plus Miami's Veterans equals another ring for Shaq and the first ones for GP, Walker, ZO, D Wade and Company. \n\nHEAT in 6 and Dwayne Wade is MVP.

BEST ANSWER----> YESSSS!!!, just hand the championship to the Pistons, we taking it this year!! They are an unstopable forceee and an all star team, no one can f***ing compete with us.

Yes, I am a firm believer that the Spurs LOST, and the Mavericks didn't WIN. The Spurs INVENTED defense, and there is no way they committed as many fouls as were called. I'd love to see STRAIGHT UP BASKETBALL (not a free throw bonanza) from these two teams, and if we see that tomorrow night, San Antonio will survive another game. The Spurs are the defending champs, and unlike some people who think this is going to be a cakewalk for Dallas, I think San Antonio is going to surprise everyone and drag this series out to 7! If anyone can--it's the Spurs!!! Just have faith--the pro's know what they are doing! =)

Uhm.........Noooooooo is this series over? Suns are only in the Championship because of scheduling error the best two teams in the west have already played...Sorry Suns fans this is not the LA's your dealing with. Dallas Is winning the Championship.

I have no clue on what you are referring to by the NBC championship. However, if you are referring to the NBA championship, its probably going to be out of four teams. Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, OR Dallas Mavericks. Pistons have to gel with one another like they currently are and on a 5 game winning streak. The Suns have to get Amare back in shape and playing at the level he is capable of. The Spurs need to be consistent and play at the level they are capable of playing. They also need to establish their home dominance they should have. As for Dallas, even though i love my Pistons, Dallas has probably one of the best shots at it. They are athletic, They have a deep bench, they have great defense and they can score with the best of them. Dirk is a tough cover for any in the league although Detroit matched up the best because of Rasheed's ability to cover Dirk better then any other contender in the league. You all might be saying, what about the Heat? They are the defending champs although Shaq is old and they dont have the bench like they did last year nor do they have the passion to get it done, they will make the playoffs but will be eliminated in either the first or second round. Anyway, my opinion. Peace

I am a Mavs fan and I give all due respect to SA for being a great team and even one of the all-time great teams. 3 championships in 7 years is no small feat. Duncan is still the best all around player in the game.  Dallas has been able to hang with them because of quickness at the guard position and depth, not because SA makes like a vacuum.  The only reason I think Dallas will win this series is that SA is a little more nicked up. It hasn't shown the last couple of games, but I'm hoping they begin to wear down come Friday......

The Dallas Mavericks!

Chance existis always. But Dallas stronger now, and this is a fact. But Miami defeated Detroit, and I determine that like big argument pro Pat Riley's team... Anyway, I wish good luck to Mavericks.

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

I think they'll still win it. Unless Miami gives them a good fight, they should hit the Finals pretty well rested. Meanwhile, though San Antonio and Dallas look likely to square off in round 2, the winner will most likely face a run-and-gun Suns squad in the conference finals and get worn out. Detroit's a bit better than the West's big 3, though San Antonio stands the best chance at beating them in a 7-game series.
