I think the Cs are well balanced, probably more so than any other team going in, but the best players are playing somewhere else.

Tough choice, but I am a homer.  ;D

I picked the Heat and Celtics.  I like the Lakers but not sure they can get thru the Thunder.  Time for Perk to go to work  ;)

I voted C's and Heat.

Lakers look good - on paper.

BOS's right there in the thick of things - for next 2-3 seasons.

Heat and Lakers.  They have the best players, and need the least amount of luck to win it all.

The C's have a decent chance, but they really need to stay incredibly healthy, since their strength lies in their depth and being able to throw player after player at the opposition.

And the Thunder...well, I still think they have arguably the most talent in the league, but they are so mismatched that the whole is less than the sum of the parts.  So, they need to figure out that before they become a favorite IMO.

I went Heat and Thunder.


The two teams that went to the Finals and didn't lose anyone but made some additions.

Same here, I want the Celtics to win of course, but I don't think they most likely to win even though they had a decent shot.

Celtics versus Heat in the ECF for the DeFacto NBA Championship - Just like last year.

I'd like to see Jeff Green develop a Micheal Cooper defensive stopper role on Le Travel and Avery Bradley chafe Dweeb and Kobe.

Plus Jared Sullenger might be a ROY candidate and make all the GMs fume on passing up this Ohio St kid.

Jason Terry and Courtney Lee replace Ray Allen and Micheal Pietrus which I believe is a big upgrade.

It comes down to how fit and healthy KG is. If he has three more great years we are in the debate for three more years. That cannot be bad.

I am a bit surprised (even on this board) that 7 out of 24 people did not vote for the Heat.  They seem to be the clear favorites this year and when you can vote for two teams, they should easily be one of the two.

Heat and Lakers, though Thunder should match the Lakers if Harden/Westbrook/Durant don't plateau and continue to develop.

I guess if it were that clear, then the poll would only list Western Conference teams and be asking who you thought would be facing the Heat in the final.

I guess some of us don't think it is that clear.
