I'm picking the Celtics to raise banner #18 to the rafters.
IMO, THIS Celtics team is the best Celtic team ON PAPER since the vaunted '86 team!
Like I stated a couple of weeks ago, all four Boston teams are considered championship contenders, but IMO, it's the Celtics that have the best shot to win a championship.
They are locked and loaded for a serious run at #18............
So the East should win the title this year, I mean we have the two best teams in the history of the world.... 
Of course all that hype and both Celtics and Cavs know the Magic will win the east again.

What Heat fans have made predictions here?
The HEAT did very little to improve as far as personnel is concerned. They are resting the laurels on 2 things:1) That the very young core of players they had HAVE improved physically and mentally.
2) That AFTER the 2010 season is completed, they will land the big free agent.
This year, the HEAT will end up in the same playoff position as last year....a POSSIBLE 4 seed, but more than likely a 5 or a 6 seed.
And like I have said a BILLION times, it's ALL about match-ups in the playoffs. You can have a GREAT record, but match-up in a SERIES, is vital. Ask Dallas against Golden State...and ask Cleveland about Orlando.
Cavs Conquer Greece!
Even without their starting backcourt (Mo Williams and Mo Williams), the Cavs Conquered the fundamental savvy Olympiaco's of Greece 111-94. LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal each scored 12 points in limited time.

HEAT signing of guard Carlos Arroyo is welcomed news and will give the HEAT bench a GREAT option off the bench at PG in both leadership and scoring.

There is the kiss of death....now FOR SURE they will not make the Finals!
Woops. Further investigation reveals that this SI cover is a regional issue. Turns out there will also be covers featuring the Celtics and Lakers. I say this cancels out any sort of jinx. Nice try.
DE-FENSE!
