NBA Predictions

With the season about to tip off, it is time for some predictions for this season. While basketball is not my area of expertise, I will make some predictions for this season.
NBA Finals: Lakers over Heat- Everyone is all excited about the Heat but they will have no answer for the Lakers' big men, especially if Bynum is healthy. Look for Kobe to show everyone once and for all who the best player in the NBA is.
Knicks: The Knicks will make the playoffs for the first time since 2004! And they will actually win a game! They will finish in one of the last 3 playoff spots. If they land Carmelo however...
Nets: While the Nets will improve on last year's disastrous reason, they will miss the playoffs once again and it probably won't even be close.

Please post your predictions in the comments section of this post.
