Whos the favorite to win it all right now?

I would've picked the Celtics to begin, but after this stretch, it seems they're showing weakness. If a veteran team can't close out or even win one CLOSE game at Atlanta, how will they fare at San Antonio or Los Angeles. Hell, i'm not even sure they will be able to get past the Cavs.

Based off of how I have seen Boston play in Atlanta for those 2 games...

1) Spurs
2) Lakers
3) Boston

Boston doesn't handle pressure very well. Those other 2 teams thrive on it.

I'd actually respect the Spurs on the level of the Bulls, Celtics, Lakers if they win it all this year. If they take it this year, they are definitely a dynasty.

Anybody who put the Pistons or Celtics above the Spurs, Lakres or Hornets done stepped out of their mind. The Celtics and Pistons are havin trouble with the Hawks and 76ers. So you mean to tell me that you would still pick them even when the Lakers won in 4 games and the Spurs and Hornets closed the series out in 5 games each.

1.Spurs
2.Lakers
3.Hornets

5.Celtics
6.Pistons

I think people are making judgements based on different series that have nothing to do with each other and have no affect on how the other teams would match up.

Spurs will have had the toughest route if they make it but I still gotta go with them.

The Lakers. The Spurs are close, but I can't say they have an advantage when the Lakers will have homecourt over them.

And they did not rout the Suns. Don't just look at the fact that the series was over in 5 games. Three of the Spurs victories were incredibly hard fought and if one shot was missed in game 1 it would have been an entirely different series.

A rout is what the Lakers did to the Nuggets.
