Washington Wizards or the Denver Nuggets either

As long as the Wizards have Gilbert Arenas wearing their game jersey and playing on the court, they always have a chance. Arenas is a pure scorer who can takeover entire games when he gets hot.

The Denver Nuggets have their own talented player, Carmelo Anthony. Although Anthony was suspended earlier in the season for fighting, he’s back on the court now. He’s helped along by another great player, Allen Iverson. As long as the two of them can learn to play together, they will be a tough team to beat in April.

The Detroit Pistons will be a team that’s difficult to beat in the playoffs as well. They have the experience of winning it all just a couple years ago. They also have some great players like Richard “Rip” Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Chauncy Billups.

When it comes to talent, the Phoenix Suns are certainly no slouch either. Appearing in Suns’ jerseys during the playoffs will be Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, and Leandro Barbosa.

Any team would like to have an All-Star player pulling on their game basketball jersey when it comes playoff time. But ultimately the outcome of a playoff series may come down to how well the entire team plays together.

The playoffs begin in April and stretch on for many weeks. It’s not uncommon for one star player to get worn down in that amount of time. Therefore, it’s important to have role players who can step-up and make shots during crunch time.

It will be interesting to see if the Mavericks can continue their winning ways and win a championship or if they will be upset by some other team that is primed to pull-of an upset during the playoffs.
