In a professional sports league where more than half of the teams make the playoffs, the regular season almost seems irrelevant. The better teams reach a point in the season where they only have to coast in order to make it into the playoffs. In addition, the lower seeds that make the playoffs are usually teams that only played 1 or 2 months of good basketball in a season that spans from October to
Eastern Conference:

As for my predictions for conference winners, that has little to do with the seeding here. As I said before, many of the top seeds will be top seeds regardless of how hard they play, because in the end, talent will prevail in an 82 game schedule. A team’s division will have more to do with a top team’s record their effort just by making the division competitive or non-competitive. For example, the Houston Rockets will have a record that is worse than they actually are because of the strength of their division.

Truthfully, I thought the Pistons were going to win the East last year, but Lebron had other idea. The Celtics will be formidable, but I do not think their defense will be good enough to get them through a conference that has been dominated by defensive teams over the last decade.
NBA Finals Champion –
In a rematch of the 2005 NBA Finals, the Spurs will come out on top again. While the Pistons are a great team, I do not think they are as good as they were when they faced the Spurs back 2005. On the contrary, the Spurs are a much better team now, coming fresh off a championship and a season where
Finals MVP –
Sometimes, I think I am watching a different game out there (and you probably think I am watching a different game too, based on my predictions), but I thought

HAHAHAHAHAHA.... the Raptors are nowhere in sight. You funny man!
i think that the nuggets could do it all this season. yeah i mean win it. look at the team they got. if they all can be consistent through the season then there is no reason that they couldnt win the title. carmelo and iverson can average 30 points+ if they want to. marcus camby is unstopable on the boards. and j.r smith can explode at any time. also i think kleiza needs to be watched this season he is becoming a dangerous presece on the court
What no Raps - You don't know the East!
Honestly dude, find a new job if you really believe the Raptors are not making the playoffs.
Yeah, really. You need to rethink these predictions. You left out a team that was division champs last year and are obviously improved since then. I know they are north of the border, but they are in the league... The Raptors should easily be top four, if not tops!
Get your act together guy. The Raps are top dogs in the atlantic not New Jersey. Raps top 3 in the east, Knicks top 3 in the draft, Celtics big 3 not quite enough. I'd take Andrea and Bosh over old man Garnett and Perkins anyday. Raps will dominate the atlantic. Philly doesn't have the talent, we all saw what toronto did to new jersey on friday and it will be funny seeing fat boys eddy curry and zach randolph trying to keep up. Boston has 3 players, Toronto has a team.
how do have boston not winning the division? Do you know basketball? And why is there so much talk about the raptors? The farthest they will get, if their lucky, is winning a couple of games in the playoffs.
I'm predicting it will be spurs vs celtics. The big 3 of boston are going to be hard to stop, but san antonio is the only team in the league who can stop them in the playoffs.
what about Portland, they easily take the jazz's place, because there taking over one city at a time
