Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are a team who have 17 NBA championships that is the most in the nba today. In the off season of 2007 Celtics general manager Danny Ainge made a couple moves that would return the Celtics to a champion. And he did just that by picking up Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves, and Ray Allen from the Supersonics. Boston would have an amazing regular season, and complete the largest single-season improvment in NBA history, finishing with the best record in the league at 66 wins and 16 losses, winning 42 more games then last season. Winning the NBA championship in 2008 by deafeating Kobe Bryant and the Lakers 4 games to 2. Last season the Lakers got thier revenge in the 2010 finals by beating the Celtics in the finals 4 games to 3. Kobe Bryant was named finals MVP for the second straight season, last season beating the Orlando Magics 4 games to 1. This season the Boston Celtics start off the season with the record of 10-4. The big 3 Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen these are thier stats this season threw 14 games. Ray Allen is averging 17 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. Kevin Garnett is averging 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists a game. Finally the captian of the Celtics Paul Pierce is averging 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assits per game. We can't forget about the elite point guard that the Celtics have in Rajon Rondo. Rondo is averging 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 14 assists per game. Can the Celtics make it to the finals this season to make it two staright seasons ? We will find out come playoff time.


The San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio spurs are a team who in the last ten years have won 3 NBA championships courtesy of perhaps the best power foward of all time Tim duncan, elite point guard Tony parker, and one of the best sixith men in the league in Manu ginobli. In 1997-98 season the start of a championship era begun for the spurs, Tim duncan quickly improved his low post game averaging 21 points, 12 rebounds per game as a power forward for the spurs. Tim duncan was also named first team all-NBA while winning rookie of the year in his first year in the league. The team's record was 56 wins and 26 losses, breaking their own franchise record in 1989–90 for the biggest single season improvement for wins, but yet again they fall to the jazz in the western conference semi-finals in 1998. Then went on to win 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007. In 1999 Tim duncan won the finals most valuble player award, He also won the finals mvp in 2003. In 2007 Tony parker won the finals mvp when the deafeated the clevland cavaliers 4 games to 0. Now in 2010 to start off the seaon the spurs have the best record in the league at 12-1. The big 3, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli are each averging, Dunca is averging 14 points, and 9 rebounds. Parker is averging 20 points and 9 assists. And for Ginobli he's averging 21 points, and 5 assists. So maybe the spurs and Tim duncan are in a championship era season and for tim duncan his race for his fifth NBA championship if he gets his fifth title he might go down as the best power foward of all time.

The Los Angeles Lakers !

The Los Angeles Lakers are a team who in the past 10 years have won 5 NBA championships. All 5 championships have been with Kobe Bryant and Derek fisher who are still with the lakers to this day. Kobe and Fisher are the captains of the team. When adding Pau Gasol to the lakers three years ago they made it to the finals all three years and two of those three years resulted in NBA championships and two NBA finals MVP for Kobe. Coach Phil Jackson has 12 NBA championships six with Jordan and six with Kobe. This season Kobe`s averging 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assits per game. The second best player on the Lakers and arguably the best big man in the league is averging 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assits per game. Lamar odom after his USA team olympic experience made him a much improved player and is giving the lakers a big boost this season, averging 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assits per game. The lakers are 10-2 to start the season, they went 8-0 untill suffering thier first loss to the Denver nuggets last week. I think the lakers will win this years NBA championship and make it 3 years in a row.
