One month into the season, who do you think will win it all?

Discuss.

The Rockets are on there? Really?

They're 8/1, the Spurs are 20/1 and the Pistons are 14/1, yet you don't question them?

The Spurs have a history of pulling things together and this is a Pistons board, there would be a virtual riot if they weren't on there. I don't think the Pistons are winning it all, nor do I think the Spurs could get past the Lakers.

I attempted to provide a pleasing palette of championship choices for the group. Now, you can play along or sulk about the selection process.

WHICH WILL IT BE?

I'm still debating. I haven't actually seen the Lakers play with Bynum and Gasol together yet and I'm not sure how good Boston's bench is now that Posey is gone.

I think, as of right now, it's 90% likely that we get Celtics/Lakers again.

The other 10% of me thinks Celtics/Hornets.

Barring major injury, I don't see anyone beating the Celtics this year in a best of 7.

I think the Lakers get it done this year. No holes, and if Odom keeps being a team guy off the bench they are in great shape. Nobody else has a weapon like him off the bench (unless they are playing a starter off the bench like Manu).

Can I reserve the right to pass judgment at this point, or is the "One month into the season" part grounds to give a somewhat undecided pick?

If so, I'll roll with the Hornets, mostly because I couldn't stand to see anyone else win it. Also, I think they have a lot of growth potential, while Boston, Cleveland, and even LA to some extent, are what they are, IMO. Maybe LA has some room to grow with Bynum and Gasol together.

I think "we" are a really big question mark at this point. No doubt there is a lot of championship potential -- our starting five could be electric, and our bench, of late, is the best in the league, IMO.

If you're voting Pistons, you're a stone cold dope.

We could win it. Unfortunately this team is not playing well. I think we have more talent than last year and we had enough to win it then too.

^:we:

I still like the trade, I just wish that it was made during the offseason.

ECF, at best, for "us".

didn't you know, the pistons signed me to a 10 day contract.

My vote unfortunately goes to Boston. It seems like they're winning without even trying.

ISWYDT, Herm.

I wish I had thought of it first.

Why do you think it was even in there?

They're 20:1 forchrissakes.

Thank you for playing.

The the record show that my vote is conditional. If Detroit starts Will Bynum I'm calling it a dynasty in the making

That's a funny sig.

Pistons, and stop whining.

I voted Pistons because I felt someone had to, even if i don't believe it.

Pistons should ALWAYS have more votes than the Cavs, who should ALWAYS have zero.

Now, this is the right logic.

Wait Dray, Zekyl hasn't voted yet...

Now I have, not for the Cavs, that's for sure. There's no way they're getting past Bostonl

So do you three (Herm, Fool & Wil) like the looks of your championship calibre Spurs still?

yes. getting healthy. Hill looks nice.

I thought it was the Lakers last year and I still like them to win it all. I will however continue to indulge myself in the fantasy of a pistons-lakers finals.

The Lakers are starting to sway my opinion on this.

They lose their big man and then go 6-0 on a six game road trip, winning at Boston and Cleveland in there.

Boston had that swoon a few weeks ago and just lost 2 games in a row at home.

As we close in on the break, the Lakers look like to team to beat now, IMO.

I'm sticking with my Lakers pick.

34-15
