Anybody ready to see who the 2007 NBA champion is going to be. I am going to give it to the phoenix suns. I am a die-hard Orlando magic fan but were lucky to be in the playoffs let alone win against Detroit. Tell us who's going to be in the finals.
here the match ups.
EASTERN CONFERENCE
Miami heat vs Chicago bulls
Orlando magic vs Detroit Pistons
Washington wizards vs Cleveland Cavs
Toronto Raptors vs new jersey nets
Western Conference
Los angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns
Golden state warriors vs Dallas Mavericks
Utah jazz vs Houston Rockets
Denver nuggets vs San antonio Spurs
i am going to say Dallas Mavericks over the Miami Heat.
Suns are really good, but do not have enough defense (again) to make it quite all the way i think... the Heat are going to be tough if everyone stays healthy for them.
the west is way above the east--the winner will definitely come out of the west i think.
I would take a guess and say Suns v. Mavs in the Western conference and the Suns squeak by in 6. Then in the Eastern, Shaq is getting old and Wade isn't 100% so it might be the Pistons v. Cav's in the Eastern conference. I think this could go both ways. I think it will go 7 games. Then in the Final. Suns v. Pistons and the Suns winning it all in 5.
I'm a die hard Cavs fan, but they dont have all the pieces of a championship team yet. They will make the 2nd round, maybe the Eastern Finals, but I dont see them in the Finals..
I'd say the Mavericks will win it all in 5 games against the Pistons
Come on now. Spurs obviously. I pick spurs or mavs all the way but right now Spurs is it and Mavs come second. Suns have no chance in hell. They have a pathetic excuse for a defense. Too offensive-based. The key to beating them is slowing down the game. They lost some games to really bad teams that played it smart with lesser skilled players.
im going with the Pistons over the Suns for the finals
you have to wonder whether dallas will even take out golden state. Don Nelson knows that team very well. I dont think theres a harder team they could of played right now than golden state.

Mavs don't make Suns will not even have a 0.000009% chance. I still have Spurs as my western finals pick.
Ha. I hope the Bulls sweep the Heat. Shaq has been in the league long enough to know better than to call out the refs..just another fine and more calls on him.
Well, Suns just got their second win against Lakers, and Kobe hurt his ankle. I don't see the Lakers making it any further. Not that I would want them to anyway. Cleveland, NJ, and Denver are my favorite teams, but being realistic, and not just saying who I HOPE will win, I don't think any of the three are going to take it. I'm not gonna make a solid prediction about the champions just yet though. We'll see what happens.

i was on the phone so didnt get to catch the game it was just on in my room. Is he playing still or is he day to day? That would really be a horrible next two games to watch if hes not playing

I don't even know why he was in the game, losing by like 30. It looked nasty. The suns player barbosa I think stepped on his foot and it turned his foot and his ankle touched the ground, while he was still standing. Then the suns fans were chanting, "kobe sucks!" but yea the lakers are done, not competition for the suns.
He said after the game that he would be fine to play, but still, just a small thing that adds to the stress when they're already losing. I think it'll be a 4-0, I don't see the Lakers getting it together. I mean Barbosa, who played somewhere around eight minutes less than Kobe, nearly doubled Kobe's score. Kobe isn't supposed to be getting outscored by bench players.
As much as I'm a Heat fan, don't think they are going to come back against the Bulls. Shaq and Wade only played in 19 games together all season.
I am kinda pissed at the new playoff seedings though. Why have divisions if winning your division doesn't benefit you. I mean the top three in each conference should be the division winners. In the east it should be #1 pistons vs #8 magic, #2 raptors vs #7 wizards, #3 heat vs #6 nets, and #4 cavs vs #5 bulls.
Look at NFL, even if a wild card team has a better record then a divisional winner, the divisional winner still has homefield advantage. Now, even if the heat come back against the bulls who will they have in the second round? Pistons where they should have the winner of the the raptors and wizards series.
It just says even if you win your division, it won't help you in the playoffs with homecourt.
I like how you think lol. I'd love to see my nuggs at least make it past SA, i think they have the talent but Camby needs to stay healthy and same with Nene.
i want the cavs to win but it would be better to see golden state beat the mavs
