Nets = Best Running team in basketball

Nets = Best Running team.

Spurs = Best Defensive team.

Pistons = Second best defensive team.

Kings = Best offensive team.

Mavs = Second best offensive team.

Lakers = 3 time champs?

The question is... Who will win it all?

Well, barring injury, San Antonio should. I think that they could actually sweep the Lakers like Old times. Not based on Bowen's luck... However, I think that Duncan has something that only Hakeem was able to harness. Great Team Chemistry. It's scary because even though SacTown is so good... I just don't know if they can deal with San Antonio? I mean, Ginoboli is taking it to the hole strong.

The Pistons are a surprise to me. I certainly expected them to bow out in round 1. However, their toughness is showing. In the final computation, I think Larry Brown might be able to outcoach Carlisle in this series. The 76ers have a lot of flaws... But they have probably the best coach in the league. What can you say about Kid and Co. They got the easy draw in Boston. Boston's game is too unpredictable for them to be a great team.

However, NJ could win the East again. But would anyone watch a San Antonio/NJ finals? That's what D Stern is asking?
