I don't know. I hope it will be the 76ers, but I highly doubt it (probably about a .1% chance of happening). It might be the Big Three (Miami Heat), the Lakers, the Thunder, or any of the other dominant teams. I don't think that it will be an upstart team (no big surprise).
I would have to say the Miami Heat. Way too talented not to, if they can turn it around and win on the road as well as at home.
I can't disagree. They are, in my opinion the best team in the NBA, even though another team totally could win it all. There are a few more teams with talent close to theirs, so it might be one of those teams. We'll just have to wait and see.
If all the teams were healthy come playoff time I would lay my money on Miami. They don't have any real challenges in the Eastern Conference. As for the Wild West I could see OKC or San Antonio reaching the finals. However Miami looks to repeat in my opinion. This comes from a die hard Laker fan going back to the days of Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain. Why they did not hire Phil Jackson again is beyond me! :-( lol!
I would love to say the Lakers, since that's my team. But, I'd have to go with Miami.
OKC. They have finals experience and they are ready to take the crown...

Okay, now that we have the finals set to get underway, who do you think will win it this year and why?

As we all know, MIami Heat won back to back titles this year, in an epic game 7 series clincher no less. However, was that series fixed? Did David Stern purposely rig the game to where Miami cheated their way into another title? I personally don't think so, but a friend of mine brought...

I believe that if (when) Miami wins game 1 in Miami and get the psychological momentum that they will need to win game 2, Boston will be wore out game 3 and 4.

I wrote a Hub about the two teams that can challenge the Miami Heat in the East a while back. Before the 27-game winning streak, the Miami Heat lost to the Indiana Pacers and the streak ended against the Chicago Bulls. Does anyone think different?

Do you think the Miami Heat will get to the finals and win their rings this year?I'm a Cleveland fan, I am hoping not, at least not this year. Don't get me wrong, he's a great player and deserves it but he loses it can give Cleveland one year to cheer about. LOL

They have become dominant over the last month. After starting 9-8, they have won 16 of 17 games. Does the Heat stand with the elite of the league? Or, is it bacause most the teams they played, were .500 or below? Their flow, as a team, is better now but, that's a lot of ego's.
