Alright guys, let's hear about:
Who do you think will be the NBA champions this year?
Who do you think will take the season MVP?
Who will win the Western conference and Eastern conference finals?
Who will be the Playoffs MVP?
Sweet, a sport I can talk about. (I live in Vancouver which is hockey-mania unfortunately for me).
1. Thunder vs Bulls or Heat... from that I really can't decide. You?
2. Probably someone from one of those 3 teams?
3. Already mentioned
4. Lebron maybe? He seems to really be carrying Miami, and Derrick already won last year (general MVP).
Overall though, I want to see the Knicks do well. I just love Lin's play style and team-basketball mentality. Linsanity may never come back, but I can *dream* lol.
I was wondering if this thread would ever pop up without Irrational.
Eastern Conference: Miami and Bulls, I can't see any other two teams really beating these two in a best of seven in the east. Maimi will win again this year, so long as the Big Three remain uninjured.
Western Conference: The The Thunder are definitely one, but I could see either Spurs, Lakers or Clippers (yeah I know they can't meet right now, but if the standings change...) facing them. I don't keep up as well with the Western Conference
Regardless though I expect Miami to win. LeBron is going to get the MVP this year based on his incredible season. Finals MVP I expect to be awarded to him as well, though that will depend more on how those games play out.

Eastern Conference: I think the Bulls will take out the Heat in the Conference Finals this year. The bulls seem more Hungry to me and Boozer is actualy playing good Basketball this season. If Rose gets healthy and Hamilton gets healthy (and contributes) the Bulls will be Very difficult for the Heat to beat, unless of course the Heat's Super Stars go un-concious.. then they are immpossible to beat. I just don't think it will happen this time.
Western Confernce: I'm not sure how you Pick against OKC. Sure, maybe some one catches them, maybe OKC has one more year of growth before they can make the finals, but I think this is their year.
Championship: I'm saying Bulls over OKC in 6.
Playoff MVP: Derrick Rose. All that frustration from getting bounced last year.. I think he takes it out on all the other teams this year and goes 30 ppg and 10apg in the playoffs.
Season MVP: Lebron James. There is no other choice unless he gets injured for the season. His stats are unreal right now.
NBA champs - Miami Heat they blew the title last year when they should have when, and they have improved players and much improved chemistry.
Reg Season MVP - I think Lebron should win MVP hes putting up 28/8/8 and shooting 55% from the field. That like a monster big-man and elite point-guard statistics combined. Though I think Durant will win MVP though he is having a fantastic season i believe he wins more because people hate Lebron than Durant actually having the best season.
Conf Finals - I believe the spurs will make a run to the finals. I am not sure why, but I think they make one more run. Thunder have all the time in the world to get to the finals.
Eastern Conference: I think the Bulls will take out the Heat in the Conference Finals this year. The bulls seem more Hungry to me and Boozer is actualy playing good Basketball this season.

Well if anyone is going to take them out it's the Bulls. Arguably they're playing even better than last year
Reg Season MVP - I think Lebron should win MVP hes putting up 28/8/8 and shooting 55% from the field. That like a monster big-man and elite point-guard statistics combined.

You could say that already happened last year when LeBron had a great season as well (just not ending that well). If he doesn't get it this year again, with the numbers he's currently posting... it would be unreal.

They're currently fighting for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference against the Knicks. If the Knicks get their shit together for the rest of the season I don't think the Bucks will make it, though they are on a six game streak at the moment.
That being said they'll end up against the Bulls in the quarters anyway if they do make it, and there's no way they'll get past Chicago.

Its the Bulls title to lose. The Heat do look good, but they like the artiCHOKE dip too much. West is Thunder, but I'd like to see the Spurs make a run.
At the start of the season, I would say Derek Rose for MVP, but how can you be MVP when your team wins without you? I think well see the MVP race clear up when we get to some the end of season and the playoff race begins.
As for the OP, I think that the west will come down to the Spurs or Thunder while the East will come down to the Bulls or Heat. From there, a lot can happen. If I had to guess, I would say Bulls vs Spurs with Bulls winning. For the regular season MVP, it will either be Durant or Lebron with Lebron in the lead.

Well, it seems like the Heat are doing pretty well, Bulls are totally bust and the Spurs came from behind to grap the nr1 seed in the west. I still have Heat in the Finals, but I'm not so sure who will make it out of the west. Lakers, Thunder and Spurs are seem likely contenders.
