Why go with the obvious? Everybody and their mother will be picking lakers, cavs, spurs or celts and mostly cavs or lakers im sure. Im a laker fan and even i wouldnt complain with a team coming outta the blue to win it all.

[Electrifying Uno]

I left rookie of the year out? I better edit that in.

One point for each playoff team or award winner. 2 points for getting the team and seed right.

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm a Mavs fan and even I wouldn't pick them to come out of the West. Lake Show just has too much, and if they stay healthy, it's a guaranteed 60+ win season.

And only one of us so far picked Houston to make it, which means they will. Every year I've doubted them, and they always shock me somehow.

[Patrick Bateman]

Keep in mind, I don't think Frank will be fired solely on his team's performance. But mainly because new owner Mikhail Prokhorov will probably want to install his own hire once he takes the reigns.
