East: Depends on KG's health, if he isn't 100%, or very close to it, the Cavs and the Magic will square-off for the right to represent the East. If KG is good to go, the Celts will probably have just enough to hold off LeBron for one more season. After this season though, it is LeBron and Howard's conference for a long time, unless Chicago gets Rose a stud running mate in FA 2010/ same for ATL if they have the cap room. If not, the rest of the Eastern Conference may as well shut down operations for the next decade.

West: Utah and Portland are the only teams with a somewhat realistic, albeit very slim chance to knock off the Lakers.

Prediction: Questionable calls by the refs give the Celtics a 7 game victory of the Cavs in the East. The Lakers have trouble in Utah, but take out the Jazz in 6. Kobe Bryant wins his first title without Shaq in 5 or 6 games over the Celts.
