Chicago Bulls in the east, they were already a tough defensive team last year, now they got Big Ben. Miami's too old, I see Chicago as the east champs and they'll be too tough for Lebron to handle.\n\nSan Antonio Spurs in the west, the way they been playin early on you can see they want another title. Clippers look like they'll give Duncan a run for his money though.

The winner of the NBA Eastern Confrence is going to be the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are one of the greatest TEAMs in the history of the NBA. I have never seen such great teamwork and underrated talent on one roster before.\n\nDetroit can match up and beat anybody in the NBA. Hamilton, Billups are playing smart, terrific basketball while Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace are owning the paint. Antonio McDyess is also a good big man off the bench. \n\nMark my words, The Detroit Pistons are going to win the NBA Championship this year unless either Rip Hamilton or Chauncey Billups gets injured.

Any one can win it this year, i see either the Colts, Patriots, Chargers and Bears as the favorites, but it really is a tossup this year

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.

I think it will either be A.I. or Lebron James.  I'm a Kobe fan, but this year he looks like he's going to be more passive and get his teammates involved more.  For A.I. he's always been that high consistent scorer for most of his career.  Lebron James can put up some big numbers at times, but I don't know if he'll make 30 or more a game.  So I'll bet on A.I., one of the best scoreres of all-time.

I think the bulls are going to give a lot of teams trouble this year.  They are young and quick and there interior defense isn't all about Big Ben Tyrus Thomas is unreal and can jump out of the building and I think the Eastern conference is in a lot of trouble this year.  I believe The Bulls will give the pistons a run for their money and I think this year( if they stay healthy)   They may beat the pistons in a 7 game series (4-2).

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 think it's JJ Redick of Duke.  He's going to win Player of the Year over Morrison of Gonzaga by a couple votes.

I'll pick the Lakers because they are the team I've always cheered for ~ they exceeded expectations last year and really had a nice push into the playoffs. They were the second youngest team last year, I think this year they will be very good. \n\nNow. On to reality! \n\n1. Chicago Bulls look really good. \n2. LeBron's Turn, the world wants this kid to win, win, win. \n3. Miami will tank. They relied on emotion and a fourth-quarter D-Wade every time, this can not go on. \n4. I'd keep a wary eye on the Mavericks, they are very hungry and well coached. \n5. It's the sunset years for the Spurs, so sad to see, what a great decade and what a great team. \n6, Steven Nash won't three-peat the MVP, he's just too old and rickety. If Amare doesn't return to his old self, the Suns are way too soft in the middle. \n7. The Clippers are better than everyone thinks -- I think they'll shock a few teams who discount them in the playoffs. \n8. Detroit and the Pacers both are headed south. \n9. I have a soft spot in my heart for Houston. I like Yao and Tracy, didn't they pick up someone? Shane Battier maybe? Some role player who'll really help that team. I've not seen them yet this year though. \n\nSo, I'll pick the Lakers over the Bulls in six games. Phil Jackson is a much better coach than anyone has given him credit for. Like Riles in the Showtime era, they think he just rolls the ball out on the court. Phil knows the 82 game season is just that, a long tune up time for the playoffs. His teams are usually peaking going into the playoffs instead of exhausted like so many eager coaches teams. Kobe proved himself with 81 points and a scoring title -- hopefully he's finally matured into an adult.

Iguodala is gonna win it. His dunks are not only acrobatic but are incredibly strong. YOu can see this if you watch just how fast the ball goes through the rim as he dunks. AI 2.0!

I think it's gonna be either roma or inter. They play really good this season.

It may be Kobe, but only because he won't pass the ball. The Lakers will either lose in the first round of the playoffs or not make it at all. There best hope to do well is if Kobe doesn't come back at all.

LAKERZ!!!\n\n\n\nLol in my sad hopes and dreams. Detroit or Phoenix. But don't be so sure genius. The Nets are my dark horse team.

Current NBA:\n\nPG: Chauncey Billups\n\nIt was a tought choice between him and Steve Nash as they are both having break-out seasons and they are both the center around which their teams function. But Chauncey edges it with his clutch play.\n\nSG: Kobe Bryant\n\nSay what you want about him: selfish, surly and overcompetetive, but he has been completely unstoppable all season long. He had almost single handedly carried the Lakers. Dwayne Wade may be talented but Kobe has taken it to a new level.\n\nSF: Lebron James \nHe is having an absolutely standout year leading the Cavaliers and filling up just about every statistical category. He deserves the recognition. Paul Pierce is having a standout year as well, but nothing compared to Lebron.\n\nPF: Dirk Nowitski \n\nI know he plays SF for Dallas but I think that this is more of his natural position. Dirk is impossible to defend - too quick for most power forwards, the big for most small forwards. He has been pure class for the Mavericks this year. Kevin Garnett is having a very solid season but his team is struggling. Tim Duncan has been hampered by his dodgy ankle. Elton Brand is probably the closest competition to Dirk.\n\nCenter: Yao Ming\n\nThe fact that Yao can win in this position goes to show the lack of quality centers in the league. Ben Wallace deserves a mention for his tremendous defensive abilities, but he is probably only the 3rd best player on the Piston team and he doesn't have enough offensive skills. Shaq hasn't been healthy enough this season, and is not as dominant as he once was. Yao however, has really improved this year, especially in the past two months. I thought of putting Duncan or Brand in this spot as they probably deserve it more, but it is undeniable that they aren't true centers, so it is Yao Ming almost by default.

I'll go with the Jazz, primarily because the Jazz are doing so well at what they do best - play as a team.  The Kobe-show is fun to watch on the highlight reel, but to really get the job done, you've got to get everybody involved.  Even Michael Jordan played as a team player and he was 10 times the individual player that Kobe is.\n\nAnd as for the guy who said "The Mormons" will win . . . none of the Jazz players are Mormon.

chris paul is a beast\n\ni expect great things from him, esp since leadership like his is uncommon as a rookie (Lebron doesnt count)
