Which team will end up on top? This is what many people ask themselves when they think of the tight race in the NBA. My persoal prediction will be that the Indiana Pacers will play the Utah Jazz in the finals. The reason I came up with this conclusion is that the Indiana Pacers still have their great team which almost beat the Bulls in the semi--finals last season. Also the Utah Jazz have gotten into the finals two straight years and always put up a good fight against the Bulls.

Since the Bulls lost all their star players they might not even get into the playoffs this season with out Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Personally I think the Bulls should stop winning once and a while and give another team a chance.

In the semi--finals for the eastern Conference I believe it will be the Orlando Magic versus the Indiana Pacers. I think it will be a very tight race but the Pacers will end up on top.

In the western conference I'm putting my money on the L.A. Lakers versus the Utah Jazz. The Jazz should be able to be team out of the race in a wink of an eye.

All we can do now is wait untill the season is over to see if I'm right.
