1. Boston.

Even with Shaq you could argue that the Suns aren't even one of the top three teams in the West. How much pressure can there be when most people won't even have them favored to come out the West?

Boston on the other hand will more than likely end up with the best record and will only face one other legit threat in Detroit. Also they've received the most hype all season long. The Sox win the WS, the Patriots almost have a perfect season, the pressure on the Celtics in Boston must be immense.

I would say the top team is .

Suns , Forty years in the league and no title , a lot of good talent but old .
Window is about 3/4 of the way shut for them.

Boston , Must win now , 20 years since there last title . Droped a lot to get K.G and Ray Allen .

Dallas , I see no hope for them whatsoever .

And thats it bascially , I dont see anyone else .

Boston and Phoenix. They're both fairly old and have lineups that on paper look like championship teams.
