The Spurs had their off year so that only means they are going back to the Finals next season and nothing less. Who wins?

The odd years are the Spurs year, I wouldn't be surprised if they are back in the finals again next season, I don't care how old Tim Duncan has gotten or how old the Spurs team overall is getting, they are a solid core, and play just solid defense. Just shows you how great of a leader Tim Duncan is, and even at age 32 how efficient he can be. I wouldn't be surprised, but on the other hand the West is also getting much tougher...think about the Hornets, if CP3 continues they won't be to far behind. On the other hand teams like the Suns and the Mavs have dropped off very far, like I said I really won't be surprised if the Spurs are back. Celtics would be my favorite to represent the east btw, even in 2009.

2009 FINALS ROCKETS-MAGIC, YAO VS HOWARD. redition of 1995.

If Rockets are healthy it will be them and the Celtics in the finals.
