Considering that Nash is the modern day Bob Cousy as far as offense goes, great passer, great shooter, weak defender, it makes sense that he'd win the MVP. Phoenix versus Dallas will be a great series, but Phoenix has more size and they can match the speed and athleticism of Dallas and can outscore them, so I think that's the major factor. No game will be low scoring, and all will be exciting but I think the better team wins this series. Dallas has a heckuva bright future though and I look for them to be a top 3 seed next year.

In the other matuchups, I look for the Heat, the Pistons and the Spurs to all win 4-1 as they are just so much better than their opponents. The Sonics are an interesting team, but Duncan is looking healthy and he he's only going to get better.

Take care all.
