NBA Season starts this week: Put your Predictions on record here

So who's gonna win the title; the MVP? Don't start jabbing in June unless you put it on the record now.

Huge Spurs fan here and I say we repeat for once. 2008= Spurs as champs and Lebron James as the MVP.

I don't know who we'll play in the East for the title. It doesn't really matter cuz it'll be more trouble getting out of the West.

If the Spurs go to the Finals again this year the NBA will be hit with one more year of record low ratings in the finals jesus christ there the most boring team in the league....anyways

My Fav team the Nets=47-50 wins this year if everyone stays healthy

and of course id like to see a Warriors V Nets Finals

im not going to make crazy predictions on the celtics, alls i kno is that there guna win a lot more games compared to last year and its going to be very fun watchin them this yearBeanTownBrown86

The Bobcats will win 65 games and be world champs.

The spurs will win it again this year IMO

I just hope to see my pacers slip into the 7h or 8th spot in the east and ill be happy (:

Also looking forward to seeing Ray Allen finally playing with some GREAT players in Boston

I'm a Phoenix Suns fan. I though put that out their, now back to my MVP and finals picks. I think the MVP well go to Kevin Garnett. I think the move to Boston well make him play at level he hasn't seen in quite a while. The Two finals teams are Phoenix suns (Baring what happens with STATS knee problems and if Grant Hill can stay healthly though out the hole year.) and Boston. If those don't happen for the Suns then it's going to be the Spurs again.

Just like the Suns did in the 1976 NBA Finals VS Boston. This time though the right team will win.

I predict the NBA officials will give the Spurs another Championship.

Bobcats : 41-41goodlay

As long as the reach the playoffs, I'll be happy :)

PHOENIX SUNS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

MVP - Steve Nash

Rockets all tha way yea i said it...tmac200913

Like I said I'm a Spurs fan and all, but please elaborate. I personally think Tmac is the biggest jinx in the NBA. As long as he's on the team,it'll be first round exits for them.

Honestly,how do you see the Rockets winning the Larry O Brien? Btw, whoever said the spurs are boring haven't seen them lately. Ginobili and Parker are two of the most exciting players in the league.

Two things. First all, Parkerand Ginobili are exciting to watch. They're crazy athletic and quick.

Second of all, winning is fun and it never gets old. This year the Spurs will win 58-62 games, advance at least to the 2nd round and prollywin it all,and #21 will wreck shop. I know this cuz the Spurs have been doing these things since 1993. And it doesn't get boring or old. Winning never does.

Detroit Pistons: 50+ wins, wins Easter Conference, loses to Suns, Mavs, Rockets, or Spurs in 6.

Hopefully, that deep bench can get something going for the Pistons, especially Amir Johnson and Maxille.

NBA Champions:



Phoenix Suns

I know I may be the old man in these parts(30) but in my lifetime the two things that have won championships are Big men and great defense. Only the Bulls didn't have a great center when they were winning, but Cartwright was serviceable. Oh yeah, and that Jordan guy was pretty good.

It's not an absolute or anything, but I think it takes a pretty good(notnecessarily great) big man and a pretty good defense to win in May and June IMO.

Everyone talks about how the Suns are like Showtime was in L.A., but theLakers had possibly the greatest center in the history of basketball on their squads in the 80s. However, if anyone can buck the trend, it's the Suns and Mavs...they're loaded.
