I know it seems that once again the Heat are looking like the heavy favorites to win it all... But im going with the Bulls.

Defending MVP healthy squad, love the Rip signing, thats going to put them over the top in my mind... Love their line up.

Rose/Wilson
Hamilton/Brewer
Deng/Korver
Boozer/Gibson
Noah/Asik

Their starting lineup is downright nasty. Great balance of offense vs defense, speed, and ability to rebound... The bench has some questions but I like Gibson and Brewer as 6th and 7th men. Asik is servicable as a back up big. Another cheap big and a better back up PG would help them tremendously..Thoughts?

Funny how both of these teams predicted last year that they would win about 6 championships, as if the other team didn't exist, nevermind the west coast teams. I guess having a good young team nowadays automatically qualifies you for a dynasty before even playing the games.

Heat, though the Bulls are a more complete, balanced team.

Their frontcourt depth, health provided, is great.  They could use a better backup PG, but that position will only be getting 6-8 mpg in the playoffs, so not so important IMO.  I think they need better wing depth.  Korver is good... but showed last postseason he simply can't be on the court against Miami.

Miami -- I don't think Chicago can beat them until Rose learns how to better utilize his teammates.

I think the Celtics will be the team to beat in my heart. I'll ignore what my mind is saying until its obviously not going to be the Celtics.

I think the Heat will be the team to beat, and the Celtics will be the team to do it.

Hope the C´s surprise us all!
But Bulls is a more balanced team compared to the Heat. Bulls have some good starters and a good bench. Miami has 3 good players and a bench that sucks..
