I think most of us established the fact that Chris Paul is going to win MVP.

[MC icedog]

the kings are going to win it all exclaim

[Sir Blake]

I disagree I think the Pistons are going to win it all. They have the best record. They have great team chemistry. They have one of the best canidates for MVP. 3nodding

Aite Listen, If Ryan Gomes (Boston Celtics) started like all the other rookies form the beginning of the year, he would be a front runner for rookie of the year.

the Kings are aving a great run right now, and are trying to steal the 8th and finla spot in the west right now with NO and LAL. And Yes the pistons are a great team, but do you really think they will win it all? My teacher once said The plans of Mice and Men always go wrong or somehting like that. and its kinda like this, is DET sooo good that something might go wrong? Like in 2003-2004 with the lakers they had a good run, until Malone got injured and it costed them everything.

The Kings are improving but i dont see them winning it all....make a splash as a surprise team yes..they do have a key defensive stopper (Artest), two good shooting big men to spread the floor (Miller and Abdur Rahim), under rated point guard (Bibby), slasher and scorer (Wells and Artest) also a great consistent rebounder (thomas) yeah ans some others im forgetting...martin and ....be a surprise team in the playoffs (yes) win it all (i dont think so)....personally i dont think the pistons will win it all yes they have a great team but what if one of their main guys gets injured? (Billups...no reliable back up to play at least 4 games a series for 4 sereies) also Rip (his shooting spreads the floor and messes with defenses) yes the wallaces are great and tayshaun is having a great year but can those 3 cut it throughout the entire playoffs? my pick to win it all....Suns or Mavs

[Vengeful-Suicide]

Yeah if Amare is healthy i think the Suns will bounce back HARD in the playoffs, and the Mavs also, great offence, great defence...mostly pressure defence but it is amazing! Can hold shooters like Kobe under 20 pts and 11 straight wins under 100 pts allowed. If they do that in the Playoffs they can win it all

[Yujimura Hitsauke]

The pistons are going to win it all simply because they fill that there is something to prove from last year. The only reason they lost the championship last year is because of all of the negative media around Larry Brown leaving them for the *KNICKS* who're by the way not doing to hot..

[Poppyskull]

Larry Brown didn't decide to go to the Knicks until after the playoffs ended. Getcho' facts straight. =]

yeh he didnt know where he was going there was a lot of rumors going around about the celtics and him being the president of the cavs but then again it takes time to do contracts and everything and he would have to have gave the pistons notice so they could get papers dealt with for a new coach so this could have been dealt with before that, and the pistons will win it all they have something to prove to the spurs who will go to the playoffs again because they have the best team chemistry and they also have something to prove that they can beat the pistons twice in a row which no one belives in but yeah but the suns are big contenders and the mavs

[Sir Blake]

Larry Brown and Stephon Marbury are going at it. Stephon Marbury said that he isn't shooting the ball for the good of the team. The team thinks if he starts shooting it, Stephon will be a ball hog. And Larry Brown is in the middle of this feud.

I gotta disagree. I agree with you on the points for the kings I dont think they'll be winning it all either. But about the Pistons people need to realize hes not what makes up that team, there trying to make the pistons into every other team. The media is trying to make it seem like the Pistons are great because of ONE player. (Oh and I think the Spurs are going to win it all.)

[Vengeful-Suicide]

Well Larry Brown is pretty Stupid becuase at the end of the playoffs he said he was Retiring, did he not? And then later on in the off season he says hs not, and signs with the Knicks! He shouldn't have terminated his contarct from DET. BUT! on the other hand the Pistons ae doing far more Better than last, now that they have Flip Saunders

Saunders is an underated coach. It's good to see him doing well.

Considering how quickly Brown's health could deteriorate (the hip and bladder problems) perhaps the Knicks should start thinking about a younger coach, instead of finding another re-tread.

[this is why im hot gd]

Larry Brown is a GREAT coach.

Too bad he's coaching a bunch of scrubs. I don't think the Knicks could win the NCAA tourny, let alone go anywhere in the NBA within the new few years.
