Well, the season starts October 30th. Who do you think will win the NBA Finals?
Will it be the current champions, the Miami Heat? Will it be the now stacked Los Angeles Lakers? What about the Oklahoma City Thunder? Or even teams like the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets who seem to be on the brink of being contenders?

I honestly have my doubts about the Lakers and their chances of a title. Sure, they have a big three, but the Heat proved that doesn't work right away, and I think the Heat's big 3 is probably better than the Lakers' big 3. So it'll be interesting.
I think the Thunder will be big contenders for a title again this year. Heat obviously will be, unless somebody gets injured, and even then, they have a super deep team.
I think Nets and Knicks will be fairly good contenders, but I doubt either of them will win a title this year.
Bulls probably won't do much this year, with Rose still hurt for quite a while, but they should be able to do fairly decent and possibly make the playoffs. I don't think they'll go far though.

Absolutely no competition in the East for the Heat, and the west will either be Lakers or Thunder. The only 3 teams that really have a shot this year. Spurs would probably be next best.

I'm thinking it will be the Lakers and Heat in the NBA Finals. The Heat will win the series in six games. LeBron James gets the NBA MVP award and NBA Finals MVP award, despite having to share the ball with new guys like Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. I also think Ray Allen will have a lot to do with the championship run whether he makes a clutch three pointer or just scores a few crucial points off the bench. That's how I imagine it anyways.
