1. Phoenix vs Chicago
I really like Phoenix this year, as they have Stoudamire back and the 2 time MVP Nash. Marion won't have as great a year as last season, but still be an All-Star caliber player.
Pheonix's younger bench will help them match the depth of San Antonio and they edge them in 7, in Phoenix. Having Amare back will really make a difference for this team.
Chicago lost some offense with Tyson Chandler, but with Nocioni, who is supposed to be great, they picked it up. They have one of the deepest and talented benches in the league. They played well against Miami in the playoffs last year, and only improved their team.
I think Detroit has lost too much with the depature of Wallace to make another finals run, and "small ball" just won't get them past New Jersey or Miami, let alone Chicago.
Miami is aging too much and Wade will have more pressure put on him. He'll succeed in the regular season, but in the playoffs, teams will stack him and I don't think the rest of the Miami team can pick up the slack.
New Jersey looks strong, as always, but, likewise as always, their interior is weak. Chicago beats NJ in the Eastern finals with their younger, quicker gaurds running an aging Kidd and Carter into the ground.
2. Phoenix - if Chicago makes the finals, Phoenix matches or exceeds them in all positions except 2 gaurd.
3. Steve Nash gets the triple MVP after leading the Suns to the finals with Stoudamire back and the pressure off of him.

The Spurs against the Pistons
These are the two teams who can handle pressure and even though the Pistons lost Wallace and he Spurs lost Mohammed I beleive they will overcome adversity and go to the Finals once again
The champs will be the Pistons in 6 games
The MVP will be Rip Hamilton, I think he is poised for a breakout year

The Lakers are an suggestions-blowing franchise for useful. i in my view understand diverse the sport enthusiasts from those 80's communities. i bypass to furnish them the award for many consistent franchise. Their means to offer prevailing season after prevailing season is quite wonderful. in spite of if, genuine greatness isn't approximately being consistently good. To reiterate my till at last now element, this is approximately prevailing championships. elementary and ordinary.
