everyone said that it was going to be the Lakers, Celitcs, Magic or Cavs in the Final.

& it was those who were competing; besides the Suns.

do a nationwide poll of who people think will be in the World Series & the Superbowl & i can guarentee the rate of predicting it right would be a good 30-40 points lower than guessing whose going to be in the NBA Finals.

you cant really predict whos gon be in the super bowl before the season starts cuz most people gon be dead wrong

The NFL is the toughest to predict because of the single elimination in the playoffs and the fact that there are only 16 games. You go on a 3 game losing streak and your season could be over. Basketball might be more predictable...but you dont have the feeling like you do with football sometimes, that the two best teams didnt make it to the championship. In the NBA, I think it IS typically the two best teams in the finals.  Not to mention, the good teams in basketball build for the playoffs. You try to win every game you play, even in the regular season. But its known that playoff basketball is a different game them regular season basketball. Good teams over the years, Lakers, Spurs, Celtics, etc...build teams that cater to the style that is played in the playoffs. Other teams, Suns, Mavs, etc build teams that can win a ton of games...but typically arent as equipped for playoff ball. Thats why you can usually predict who will be in the finals.
