This is how it will go down this season:
|
Eastern Conference Champ
 Miami Heat |
Young teams get their fans' hopes up. Older teams win titles. | |
|
Western Conference Champ
 Phoenix Suns |
Our friends at SunsGossip think the Suns are going 82-0. That's probably not going to happen, but with Amare dunking on fools this should be the year they break from the Western Conference pack | |
|
NBA Finals Champ
 Miami Heat |
Anything to get Pat Riley to dance to Yung Joc again! | |
|
MVP
 Kobe Bryant |
Kobe was robbed last season. He knows it. Phil knows it. Steve Nash knows it. And you know it. He's going to play like a man possessed this year. Not that he doesn't do that every season. | |
|
Coach of the Year
 Don Nelson |
If you can take the Warriors to the promised land (in the Bay Area we call that the 8th seed in the playoffs and a first round sweep), you're good enough for Coach of the Century in the NBA. | |
|
Rookie of the Year
 Brandon Roy |
Roy for ROY just sounds hot. | |
|
6th Man of the Year
 Earl Boykins |
The man's so good he makes killin' elephants cool. | |
|
Most Improved Player
 Dwight Howard |
In a few years he'll be competing for MVP honors. | |
|
Comeback Player of the Year
 Dajuan Wagner |
Look out for that floater and more on this feel good story! Amare could win it too. | |
|
Executive of the Year
 John Paxson (Bulls) |
The Bulls' moves this offseason were a little overrated, but they were still pretty solid. | |
