my NBA post-season breakdown

The Heat have to be the worst champion I've seen since I've watched the NBA. It's nothing against Flash Wade, I've been calling him baby Jordan since I saw him get Marquette to the Final 4 a few years ago. He just has to stay healthy. But Shaq is a shell of his former dominant self. All these other scrubs on team like Walker, Payton, White Chocalate, they're rubbish. The Heat are boring and they remind me of 90's basketball when it was predictable, physical, slow-paced. The league has come so far and teams like the Mavericks and the Suns have brought back fun and more positive energy the game has been missing.

So here are some of my predictions:


Suns are the favorite to win the championship next year. The experience, depth, and the return of Amare Stoudamire is set this team up for a run to the Finals. They played their style in the playoffs with an injured team and got within 2 games of the Finals. If Raja Bell was healthy the Suns would've forced a game 7 against the Mavs.

Lebron James will win a Championship soon! That guy is in another class. He is one of those guys that's doing stuff never been one before and once he gets that experience he will do something similar to what Flash Wade did.

Speaking of guys who've never done something ever done before, Steve Nash. He will not win an MVP trophy this year. But he will continue to do what makes him one of the top 5 PG I've seen play; his entire game is predicated on the success of his teammates. He senses what his team needs and gives whatever he's got.

Barring any trades and any big shake ups here are the teams to watch.

The Suns obviously - the most entertaining team in the world
The Mavs - theyre will be just as good as they were this year, they can only go as far as Irk can carry them. Irk needs to man up and take the big shots rather than defer to Jason Terry or anyone else. Sad this is their coach is the most mentally tough on on their team.
The Bulls - they play on the perimeter with a relentless style similar to the Suns. I love Heinrick and Nocioni.
The Spurs - they historically do not defend their titles well so they were going to lose based on that I thought. They'll be back strong again as soona s they find someone to replace their center Mohammed.
The Cavs - they got the King James factors
Pistons - as long as they have Chauncey Billups they got one of the most mentally tough players in the league.
The Wiz - Gilbert Arenas is sick and they have a fun up-tempo style, just no defense

The ROY of the year is going to be Adam Morrison or Brandon Roy.
