Dallas or Phoenix to Win NBA Championship
By Michael Williams (2/14/2007)
Take the proposition of Dallas and Phoenix to win the championship to the bank while you can still bet both these teams and profit.
We would say with 80% certainty that the winner will be either of these two teams. The Spurs have dropped and are mired in mediocrity at times. Duncan is having a great year but the role players are struggling. And defense is not always possible this season with the way games have been officiated.
Then you have to eliminate the entire eastern conference. I mean we are surprised at how well the Cavaliers are playing. But will Lebron be able to take his team all the way this year? When you consider he has to play nobody Eastern conference foes all year long, I think you would realize that he won't be stiff to the challenge come championship tiime.
Also consider this, last year the eastern conference champion team won even though they were clearly the worst conference. The western conference will have a vengeance this year. They will know better than to relax after being up 2-0 in the Championship series to the Eastern Conference. So they will be sure not to make the same mistake as the Mavericks did last year.
The Jazz, Lakers, Rockets have no chance. Besides, these two teams are hungry, have the best record in the league and with their extraordinary home win percentage, expect them to come firing.
