Answer 10

I wrote this back in January:

It use to be that every year in the NBA, the same teams would always pop up into place, and make some noise into the post season by winning the NBA championship. In the 1980's, it as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. By the late 80's, it was the Detroit Pistons coming up, still battling with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 1990's, it was sure enough the Chicago Bulls who won six NBA championships in the decade.

In the 2000's, it started off with all of us seeing the Lakers win three NBA titles in a row much credited to Guard, Kobe Bryant; and Center, Shaquille O'Neal. Especially in 2001, where they only lost one game in the playoffs, and that didn't come until Game 1 of the NBA Finals where Allen Iverson carried the Philadelphia 76ers to a victory. After that game, the Lakers turned it all around and never looked back, destroying the Sixers in five games.

So now, the past four seasons have went by, and we've had different champions (for the most part) that includes the San Antonio Spurs defeating the New Jeresy Nets in six games in 2003, the Detroit Pistons shocking the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in 2004, the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Detroit Pistons in a high profiled seven games in 2005, and most recently, the Miami Heat as much shocked the world in 2006 by defeating the Dallas Mavericks in 2006 by Dwyane Wade's on-court heroics.

The present time, the 2006-2007 NBA season - it's been a confusing year starting with the defending champions, the Miami Heat having a pretty terrible season due to team chemistry problems, Wade's ungaudy leadership ability, Riley's health problems, Shaq having only played 5 games (and yet he still makes the Eastern All-Star team; go figure), and the roleplayers' (Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey, Gary Payton) inconsistency shooting on the court.

So that leaves us with three teams basically: The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and Phoenix Suns. While the Spurs were defeated harshly in a Game 7 by Dallas last year, we all thought the Spurs would come back with a great team, but not to touch any of the past championship teams San Antonio has had. However, this year for the Spurs, it's been different. They've had trouble winning games, playing good disciplined defense. They have been slower than what people are use to seeing in their half-court style based offense. They have nine players over 30 years of age, and things are speeding up instead of slowing down (just like their half-court offense is ran.) They have been inconsistent this year all-around especially with their home record. They were 33-8 last year at home. This year you ask? They have already lost 8 home games, and are on pace to at least lose 14 or 15. It looks sure enough that the San Antonio Spurs' run as the top dogs are done until they can bring in some new talent and get things rolling.

Onto the Dallas Mavericks. They've played great defense this year. They've made statements all around the NBA going on streaks. They've defeated their top nemesis'S, The San Antonio Spurs, two times already. They look like they're in control of that rivalry after having pretty much whipped down on them in those two games (even though the boxscore didn't show it.) With Dirk Nowitzki making a run at the MVP award, it's going to be tough to stop this Dallas Mavericks ball squad. However, we now know that Josh Howard is a key component to the success of this Dallas team as when he's struggled, the Mavs have struggled. Contain Josh Howard, you can get the Mavs in check if you can stop their starting Small Forward in a fashion that can disrupt their offensive tempo.

As for the Phoenix Suns, they're the funnest team in the NBA to watch. Steve Nash, who could be on his way to a third straight MVP award, has been averaging over 19 points and 10 assists a game this year (to who's surprise?) Amare Stoudemire is back and playing healthy, except we don't know if we've seen the true-to-blood Amare Stoudemire that we seen in the Spurs/Suns series from back in 2005 in the Western Conference Finals. They have a great player in Shawn Marion, who is consistently an all-star calibur forward; as well as a nice coming up forward in Boris Diaw, who thanks to Nash, is really coming up to being a nice player. Thinking over to Raja Bell, he's another nice addition to the team (same with Leandro Barbosa.) He can knock down the 3, is very quick, aggressive on defense (aggressive enough, but not too aggressive to get you into foul trouble.) However, my main concern with the Phoenix Suns is that they can't get past the San Antonio Spurs or Dallas Mavericks in the playofs, and until then, I can't say that they're going to rank above the Spurs or the Mavericks simply because that. They haven't proven anything in the playoffs until they can do that. They can play in the playoffs, there's no doubt about that. However, the game changes into a half-court typeof style in the playoffs, and it slows down the game. So if the Phoenix Suns want to win in the playoffs, they need to learn how to play some disciplinary half-court offense at least to be able to compete at a higher level with the Dallas Mavericks.

Obviously for now, my choice for NBA champions are the Dallas Mavericks. They have the most potential out of those three teams I listed (as well compared with the Rockets, Lakers, and Jazz), as well as more depth, and a better style of play with a higher octane defense to be able to lift them higher into more and more rounds in the playoffs. Watch out for Dallas, people.
