You really think Miami won't make it past the second round and Detroit will win it all? Phoenix is the second strongest team on the list however they don't make it past the second round. Very bold predictions.

Very good points. As much as I relied on the overall statistics, individual team match-ups in the West made it hard to go with Phoenix because they have to go through the Lakers & SAS (or Denver) just to get to the Conference Finals.

In the East, Detroit does not have that problem because they're solid on both sides of the ball, and can execute up-tempo or in the half-court.
