    There was no thought put into this.. sorry but this doesnt make any sense. why are the teams jumbled together from each conderence and why are the knicks, bulls, and Nuggets in while the blazers and rockets are not.

    GO CAVS!!! Cavs will win the NBA Championship next season!!! with LeBron & Mo!!! YEAH!!!

    we have a better team now, Danny Ferry will get our 2nd "SUPERSTAR" to play along side with LeBron. With Mo Williams, Delonte West, Daniel Gibson, Z, Ben Wallace, J. Hickson, Wally Szczerbiak, there is no way we could lose!! and plus i'm from CLEVELAND.... why would LeBron wanna go to New York?? media? money? fame? sponsers? he has all that in Cleveland with the Cavs. Who knows?? ATLANTA took BOSTON to game 7.... CLEVELAND took BOSTON to game 7.... why is it that BOSTON couldn't beat Atlanta or Cleveland in a game 6, but could beat LOS ANGELES & DETROIT??? two teams that have championships.... why?? here is my East prediction for 2009...

    EAST
    1. Boston
    2. Cleveland
    3. Orlando
    4. Detroit
    5. Toronto
    6. Washington
    7. Atlanta
    8. Philadelphia

    WEST
    1. New Orleans
    2. Los Angeles(Lakers)
    3. Dallas
    4. San Antonio
    5. Houston
    6. Portland
    7. Los Angeles(Clippers)
    8. Denver

    OVERALL... Cleveland will win it's first NBA Championship in 2009.. watch out for th Cavs in 2009...

    Eastern Playoffs
    Boston vs Philadelphia (BOS-4 PHL-2)
    Cleveland vs Atlanta (CLE-4 ATL-3)
    Orlando vs Washington (ORL-4 WAS-3)
    Detroit vs Toronto (DET-4 TOR-2)

    Boston vs Orlando (BOS-4 ORL-2)

    Although the Celtics, Cavaliers, Hornets, And Spurs are worthy of reconigtion,I think that if the Lakers get center Andrew Bynum back before or during the play-offs, they should and will win the 2009 N.B.A. Championship.

    If the Celtics will win against the cavaliers then surely they will get the crown but it's too difficult for them since they don't have KG. And Cavaliers now is a very tough team, they have now the what we so called "chemistry". I'm a fan of Celtics because of Ray Allen but for me Cleveland Cavaliers will win the championship. Just predicting....
