Chances of Utah Jazz winning the NBA finals?
823853
The Jazz are a DEEP team... even though the NBA season still has 85-90% left to play, I think they are a shoe in for the playoffs.\n\nNow, as for the FINALS... the West is going to be pretty tough to get through. So, it would not surprise me to see the Western champs lose the finals in 5 or 6 games like last year. \n\nThe East will be cake walk, and the West will be a war!

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.

I think the Clippers can dominate this series since they already proved they can win in Phoenix...  Nobody can stop Elton Brand and they found the right strategy to control the game... When they beat Phoenix I have a feeling that either SA or Dallas can take them out but you never really know... I think DETROIT is gonna take the finals in the longrun though!!!

If the Clippers DON'T win--I'm hoping they give those cocky jerks (wow, that was phrasing it nicely...!) a run for their money...! Between Raja Bell and Steve Nash, I'm actually getting ILL from watching them! Clippers have come back with a "bang" this year, and it would be a true Cinderella story to see them beat the "Mvp's" team and earn a chance to go to the Conference Finals!!! I guess you can say I'm partial to the Clippers winning (and who'd of thought--someone from San Antonio being PARTIAL to an L.A team..?)!

New Jersey has a very good chance of advancing to the semis since they have homecourt advantage and the Pacers aren't what they used to be, but I think their luck will run out if they face the Heat in the semis.  As for Sacramento, I like to root for the underdog, but were talking about beating the San Antonio Spurs four times so I'm afraid they'll be booted out of the playoffs in four or five games (even though as a Mavs fan, it would be great if the Spurs got dethroned, but I would rather have Dallas do it than Sacramento - to earn the respect of the league.)

The Bulls probably will win it because the 76ers haven't found a consistant line-up like the Bulls have. The Bulls behind the guard play of Hinrich, Gordon, and Duhon, the strength of Nocioni, and the finese play of Deng, will overtake the spuddering 76ers in the playoff race.\n\nAlthough... you can never count out Iverson's toughness and determination...

its possible since march madness is crazy and u never know what can happen. besides they are a high quality team and hardened in a very tough confrence, so yes it is very possible but unlikely that they will get in the final four

I think they have a good chance...the series is tied now<2-2>...and they will play the next 2 games on their home court...i hope they'll win cuase they deserve the title....also their coach is awesome..Pat Riley won many titles and he can lead Miami to win a new one...

The Pistons dominate the the east and the match up well with every team in the west except the suns so i would say they will unless the suns make the finals then it might be tough.

The Mavericks should win. They are very versatile, and if they play small they can run Shaq right on to the bench.

Yes, they have a good chance this season to go deep into the tourney.  It depends upon the seedings and how well they play.

Yes, I think they'll make it but only as a 7th or 8th seed. There are many competitors and contenders in the Western Conference. Some of the things that have to work out is Bobby Jackson's health, Tyson Chandler's defensive presence, and especially Peja Stojakovic's role. He needs to step up. Last game, he had only 7 points. You and other Hornets fans will not accept that. He needs to score like he did in 03-04 (tied second in league in points per game in NBA!). Lastly, I think the team will feed off energy of the crowd. This will be a great season.

of course they have a chance, but the spurs are gonna be hard to beat. i don't think it's impossible though. if they do they're gonna have a hard time with the pistons!!

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.
