Who do you think is gonna be the NBA champion,

My vote goes for the lakers 1 more time, next year i predict lebron going to the knicks, then he wins it.

[doctorfunk]

lakers

cavs gonna lose to orlando in semis

lebron will never win title with knicks :S

cavs will own magic if they dont go on fire and hit every 3 they shoot like last year. I mean a team shooting 3's like crazy and have the best big man in the league is quite unbeatable, the only thing is that you cant always continously hit 3's... as we did see last year. They beat the cavs through shooting 3's, got to the finals and they were off the mark, get beat in 4 games.

The only way the cavs wont win this year is if the magic get their 3's on like crazy again and the odds of that happening arent great seeing as they have been shooting this season. Even last year with record breaking 3's lbj and the cavs made it crazy close, next to that lbj and mo williams have been stroking it from distance a lot this season so the magic can expect a lot of those three's back, widening their d and leaving the beast to dominate the boards.

It's all up to shooting again, the lakers can only win from the cavs if kobe shoots like a maniac and odom steps up. The magic can only win the cavs if they hit three after three. Basically the cavs right now are the best team in the league, thats why they get my vote.

well atm james and mo are doing most of the work, jamison is shotting bricks since hes playing for the cavs, i hope kobe can turn it on.
Also for the magic, lewis isnt playing like he use to, and howard is kind of dissapointing aswell.

For next year, there are big rumours, lebron is teaming up with a premier big man, plus they are gonna get alot of cap space, so they can get some good players to play around lebron

[doctorfunk]

to me lakers are way better and more balanced team, they also have better defense. Plus if lakers would be playing in east conf, i'm prettty sure they would have the best record in the league. Also lakers big men are stronger than cavs so this would be the key to winning it for them, I also don't see who would stop kobe on cavs.

totally agree, Big Z is stepping up his game adding a better mid range jumper, but its not enough, pau and bynum playing big ball inside, also odom doing his thing,those 3 can just make a triangle boxout, and get every rebound.

done deal for me

LAKERS!!!

[doctorfunk]

I also think that guys who meet spurs in first round dallas/denver
will be out in the first round

[dvz]

the king won't let the lakers win this year specially with home games all playoffs, and with shaq back gasol better run away

[doctorfunk]

I hope you are wrong, since I'd hate if that guy who's in every top10 wins it (even if he does complete shit or one of his wooden dunks).

[Button]

i have no faith the spurs gonna get through the 1st round, teams like nuggets, mavs, will play them the fuck out

[Button]

reading on most forums they will prob get joe johnson, bosh or amare, and try to get lebron, if they get those 3 + resign gallinari and lee, OMFG

knicks are so bad for so many seasons lol
I like david lee though great bigman, good rebounder and scorer.
I don't see how lebron would join knicks, they have worse
players than cavs it would rather limit lbj chances of winning the title.

[dvz]

i thought amare was supposed to move to the cavs..

the nuggets will pwn both spurs and mavricks

well a lot of allstar players are going to the knicks, rumours have it that joe johnson and lebron have been talking about playing together the knicks also wanna sign amare or bosh this would mean you would have:

Cap space to sign a good pg
JJ
Lebron
Amare/bosh
Lee,

i thought amare was supposed to move to the cavs..

well that deal got cut off, dnno why,

And in cavs u have:

MO
LB
Anthony Parker (best 3 shooter imo)
Varejao/ Hickson
Shaq

very similar level.


Lakers(perfect team)/ Dallas(good individual players with best PG!)/ Boston/ Orlando (with Vince Carter:p!)

I hate Cavs, i hope they are gonna loose it again. LB = bastard

rarely but i do agree with you, well not that I dislike him but he didn't earn his star status unlike say Kobe or Wade,
everybody was on his dick instantly and the minute he got into league he got calls like a superstar, plus marketing him in
every top10 basically everywhere is annoying.

I don't not hate him, I just don't like his style of play, Brendon Roy, Wade, Kobe, Carter are more fun players too watch tbh
btw this is funny vid ;P

[krazzerous]

What do you mean he didn't earn his star status? He took his team to the NBA FINALS by him himself (that year the Cavs sucked so bad, it wasn't even funny). He's never had the team Kobe has had and Kobe wasn't doing shit with his team until Fisher, Gasol and Odom came. Just look at his stats. By the time Lebron's career is done, he's going to have broken every record made. Lebron has a good team this year chances are that he'll win.

Lebron is the best basketball player in the NBA atm and who ever argues that is a retard.

[doctorfunk]

Kobe is a better player than Lebron imo he had a worse year than last2 but he's battling injuries but probably he will step it up for the playoffs. Your statement "took cavs to finals by himself" is ignorant since no man, can take a team to championship by himself. Most dominant player ever in his best season Wilt Chamberlain who had 54ppg season lost that year to celtics and Bill Russel. Role players often get underestimated but if they went to finals it only means Cavs were good that year.
Kobe had always good teams, but anyone who gets to finals does. Also people who said Jordan won 1st three titles by himself are wrong tbh, he had pretty awesome suypport cast even in the 1st cup run. Just look his stats in his best season 37ppg on a great % and see how far chicago went that year. Not to mention his 63pts vs celtics in playoffs, I recently watched this game and tho jordan was awesome, broke nba record etc - bulls still lost.

Cavs starting 5 the year they made it to the NBA FINALS

PG- Eric Snow/ Daniel "Booby Gibson"
SG- Pavlovic/ Larry Hughes
SF- Lebron
PF- Varejao/Drew Gooden
C- Z. Ilgauskas

Not even one of those guys would be a starter if you put them in another team, so yes he did take them to the finals by himself. You put Lebron on the Lakers and Kobe in the Cavs and no team in the NBA would be able to beat the Lakers. And Kobe is being a baby with his "thumb" injury. Before the thumb injury, Lebron was better. Lebron is better and in the long run will be substantially better than Kobe. And yes Michael Jordan did have some good support players, but without Jordan the Bulls wouldn't have stand a chance.
