Who is gonna win the nba title?

Question

i think LA will but i hope the cavs what you think and why

Answer 1

Contenders (in order)

1. Lakers

2. Celtics

3. Heat

4. Hornets

Lakers- obviously they will get a boost from Bynum at C, regardless of what people say about Bynum going to suck and stuff like that, even if he is not an All-Star and plays something like Biedrins of the GS warriors the Lakers will probably get the title considering that Pau Gasol will play much better at PF rather than at C guarding the big guys.

Celtics- Defending Champions have to be on the list. Not many changes except for losing Posey. They are definite solid contenders

Heat- D-wade is back, and he proved it this summer. They got Beasley who is supposed to be solid, and Marion who was in Fantasy world one of the best up until his injury. You cant count these guys out at all.

Hornets- They have a solid team and added a good player in Posey.

Chris Paul will be able to beat the Spurs this season (the Ginobilli injury really does help).

Others:

Rockets- they are contenders due to the addition of Ron Artest obviously, but they are so injury prone that I see someone getting injured, therefore I didnt put them up there in the Big 4.

You mentioned the Cavs. They are here in the other section because they upgraded from last year adding a solid PG. You cant just put em in the elite due the fact that there are still some good teams in the East that could match up to the Cavs. Those being part of the "others"

Toronto, Magic, Pistons, Bulls.

Spurs- Obviously dominant team, but if Ginobilli is out then this team is no longer a contender. I put them here thinking that Ginobilli may not play much. If Ginobilli was healthy Spurs would be in the True Contender list

The East is considered c**p to some but looking at the teams right now, I think it is pretty matched up: Celtics, Pistons, Cavs, Toronto, Heat, Bulls, Magic there are so many good teams.

We will see how things play out..

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I have more favorite teams in the NBA than teams that I hate so the chance of 2 of my favorite teams making the finals is a big chance  i Think the Heat have a chance of winning!!  

Answer 3

Lakers

Answer 4

I think it can be the Hornets.  They really sprouted last year and they now have James Posey, a guy who have won championships before.

Also, Chris Paul is know more accustomed to his teammates' weaknesses and strengths and he can feed off of that now and even make the team better than it was last season.

Dark Horse Candidate: Houston Rockets

Answer 5

No one knows but it will be whoever is the healthiest at the end of season and the hottest going into the playoffs.

Answer 6

I have to agree with you. LA was a great team last year, but their only problem was defense and toughness. Andrew Bynum should help with both of those. I hope the Kings though!

Answer 7

Heat

Answer 8

Toronto Raptors!! They have improved their defence with Jermaine...and I think with Kapono shooting lights out like he did in the playoffs, some leadership and consistancey from CB4, inside outside play from Anthony Parker, one of the best PG's Jose Calderon who can set you up wherever you are and hardly turns it over,Plus Jamario Moon with his blocking and hops..he will be explosive.. now I can keep going on but you get the point. Go Raptors!!

Answer 9

only 4 legitimate teams: lakers, celtics, hornets, rockets

Answer 10

Well looking at all these answers you hear all the glamorous answers.  Have all you you forgotten who was there the last few years?

Lakers - Better

Hornets - Same

Mavericks - Worse

Rockets - Better

Denver - Worse

Spurs - Worse

Celtics - Same

Detroit - Worse

Cleveland - Same

East - Celtics vs Magic

Finals - Jazz vs Celtics

Champs - Celtics.. Again.

Answer 11

I say Hornets, Lakers, Rockets, Celtics, or.........yes Wizards

Hornets- The really became a solid team last year thanks to no big injuries. And they got a lot of playoff experience. Beating out The Mavs in 5 games and taking the though and experienced Spurs to 7 games. The beginning last season no one thought they would do any thing big, but they proved every one wrong and became a great team. Plus they added Posey which should help there bench and defense, But losing Pargo was bad. All that aside they will be coming into the season with a chip on there shoulders because they believe they should have beat the Spurs.

Lakers- What can you say. This was already a top tier team, now Bynum comes back and they become even better. Not saying that Bynum is the Shaq of old, but his size and skill set improves the team from last year. Thats if he can play like he played before he got injured. With him in the line up though creates a lot of disadvantages for other teams because of there size. Two 7 footers and a 6'10 guy in the front court...that's scary. So if they can some how utilize all of that size and skill they have in the front court then they will be a monster team. They already have a solid PG in Fisher and a great back up to him in Farmar...And thats not forget Kobe!

Rockets- This is their year. They have to do something. They have to much talent on this team to not make it past the 1st round, But I believe they can. How far they go in the playoffs though is a mystery. If this group can stay injury free then I really like their chances at the championship. Plus I think that Artest will really mesh with the team. So they should be fine as long as they stay injury free.

Celtics- Their the defending champs so they have to be on the list lol. They still a very good team even without Posey. They Just signed the Wizards draft pick Bill Walker who is a proven scorer.  And they got D Miles. I know a lot of people will be counting him out but I believe that he will straighten up his act. Not to many NBA players get 2nd chances to be back in the NBA and on a great team at that. If the rumors are true that he's been dunking all on KG and Pierce then he should have a good season. But there's one thing. I know the Celtics will have a great season but I just keep seeing them losing in the first round of the playoff I don't know why. But you never know. Their still a great team who has a good chance at the tittle.

Wizards- A lot of people may not agree but he am a wiz fan and I know the team much better then none wiz fans do. They have a whole like to prove to everyone. They have a whole lot on their shoulders. They know that this is the time. I expect they to come into the season with a vengeance. Antawn Jamison said himself "know one is looking at us. They don't expect us to do anything or make any noise. Will its up to us to let our game do the talking for us. We have a chip on out shoulder, we know what type of team we can be when healthy" And hes right am sure not many people remember when the Wizards where the top team in the eastern conference. When Gilbert was going crazy with high scoring games and buzzer beaters, when the whole team was clicking on all cylinders. Then Injuries hit and they where never the same. Since they have made a new commitment to defense all they have to do is stay healthy and they could be the be that great offensive team they once were, but with much better defense. Look for them to make some noise during the season.

With all that said I would really like to see the Hornets and the Wizards in the finales. Just to see some new faces in the finales for a change. If they did play I think the wiz would win because Gilbert Arenas always abuses Chris Paul every time they play each other. I remember one game he got two 4 point plays on Chris like it was nothing lol  

But hey that's just my opinion on who I think can win the NBA tittle.

Answer 12

Celtics or Raptors from the East

Lakers, Spurs, or Hornets from the West. I'm saying Spurs because everyother year, they've won a championship, so this is their year again (due time I suppose). Lakers are still in the game with Kobe and Gasol. Hornets just got even better defensively with Posey.  

Answer 13

Rockets, Hornets or Celtics.  

Answer 14

Houston Rockets. The Artest trade that we completed is gonna really improved our teams defense. Also the Brent Barry trade improved our offense.

Rockets 2008-09 Champions
