All on the spot guesses, didn't look at the expert link, MIP is a tough one, haven't looked up what Ryan Anderson or anyone was doing last season.

Here's my 2 cents worth:

ROY: Kyrie Irving (daylight 2nd.)
Coach: Frank Vogel (I think I may be slightly Pacer biased , so honorable mention to both Popovich and Thibadeau)
6th man: James Harden (This one is pretty easy, he has been outstanding off their bench all year)
MIP: Paul George (I said there may be a little Pacer love)
Def POY: Dwight Howard (if reputation counts in voting) but Tyson Chandler should be deserved winner.
MVP: Lebron James or Kevin Durant (flip a coin)
Bulls-Sixers: Bulls in 4
Heat-Knicks: Heat in 5 (Carmelo will get hot in at least one game, so no sweep this year for NY)
Pacers-Magic: Pacers in 5 (No Howard for Magic makes them vulnerable to a sweep)
Celtics-Hawks: Celtics in 6 (Best East 1st round matchup-if Horford can come back and make impact this could get real interesting)
Spurs-Jazz: Spurs in 4 (Maybe 5, Utah's Home Court is probably enough for at least 1 win)
Thunder-Mavs: Thunder in 6 (From Champs to 1st round fodder - this series will be very tight and entertaining)
Lakers-Nuggets: Lakers in 7 (Seriously hoping for a Lakers 1st round loss, dont know why, just think it would make their offseason highly proactive)
Grizzlies-Clippers: Clippers in 7 (At least I hope this goes 7, at this is my favourite 1st round bracket, great matchups all over the floor)
East Finals: Heat over Bulls in 7. (This is presuming Rose is healthy. If not then Heat over Celtics in 6)
West Finals: Thunder over Spurs in 6 (Just think, OKC will have to beat Mavs AND Lakers just to get to Conference Finals - will it be too tired vs too old??)
NBA Finals: Heat over Thunder in 6 (Gotta figure that a tougher playoff run will finally catch up to Thunder-though I really hope they win)
Finals MVP: Lebron James (unless there is the Thunder Championship, then it is all Durant's)

I also have a feeling it will be a Spurs/Heat finals unless Boston can do something special (which I think is possible).

I'm mighty worried about the Heat. They've been coasting for ages (all season) and have'nt bothered with much of their usual d*ckin around like last year (you know all the carry on as if they had the title locked up).

I still feel OKC may struggle to get through.

I mean if they beat Dallas, they then most likely get the Lakers, then possibly the Spurs, then the Heat/Celtics. That would be some championship.

Lol u mad? I hate lebron since he left Cleveland bug he has played as well as ANYONEelse in the league. He plays at bother ends of the floor better then anyone else.... He deserve to be in contention for it more then anyone else!! Durante would be the popularity contest winner. But having said that he'd be top 3 in my MVP picks.

lebron is in a team of superstars where they all feedoff eachother. but durant is a true playmaker that makes his entire team play better, and he and the rest of the team have been building and learning together. no egos.

I know that there is more to the game than just the 3 key stats but at a quick glance the teams looks pretty even to me...

Lebron 27.1PPG 7.9RPG 6.2APG - 37.5MPG @ 53.1FG%
Wade 22.1PPG 4.8RPG 4.6PPG
Bosh 18.0PPG 7.9RPG 1.8APG

Durant 28.0PPG 8.0RPG 3.5APG - 38.6MPG @ 49.6FG%
Westbrook 23.6PPG 4.6RPG 5.5APG
Harden 16.8PPG 4.1RPG 3.7APG

It's going to be interesting but to say if Lebron wins then its just a popularity contest is a joke.

for me u can take lebron out for the heat and they still win, take Durant out of OKC and they struggle. For me Durant is a more valuable player to his team! Pretty hard to ague with that i think.
