Top 10 Teams Most Likely to Win the 2013 NBA Championship
-
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. Founded in 1988, the team has won three NBA championships.
Not only do we have a solid veteran who has a height advantage over others at 6'10 for a forward, but he can definitely free up the Heat on both defense and offense. Not only that, but the man can and will shoot the three without hesitation.
The Heat's lineup also permits them to rotate players through different positions, whereas a lot of other teams can't do the same. For example, LeBron James can play either the 1st, 2nd, or 4th position. Wade can play the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, etc. Lakers beware.
For one, LeBron is a beast, and so is Dwyane. They're teaming up and always looking out for each other. Everyone thinks the Pacers will beat Miami, but the Bulls just lost by a couple of points, and we both know Miami is way better than the Bulls. So, in the end, Miami will win. They're on their 14th winning streak. Go LeBron! I hope Miami wins - LeBron, Wade, and Bosh deserve it. Good luck, Heat.

Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are a professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California. They are a member of the Western Conference Pacific Division of the National Basketball Association. As of the 2024-2025 season, the team plays its home games at the Crypto.com Arena.... read more
They will win because they have Kobe, Dwight, Pau, Artest, and Steve Nash. Dwight will get a monster number of rebounds. Gasol is one of the best big-man post players. Artest is the best Lakers defender. Nash has tons of assists and is not selfish with the ball. And last but certainly not least, Kobe Bryant will be next year's scoring champion.
The Lakers have become the instant favorite to win the Championship in 2013 with the additions of veteran Steve Nash and number one center Dwight Howard. Add that to the duo of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, and you've got a pretty good chance at winning it all. And this is coming from a Celtics fan, by the way.

Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history and are widely recognized for developing legendary players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, and Paul Pierce.... read more
The Celtics still have Rajon Rondo, the best assister in 2011-12, and Paul Pierce, a great scorer and three-point shooter. Garnett, who is kind of old but still great. Ray Allen, who is on the Heat now, but he is old. And Doc Rivers, one of the best coaches.
The Celtics also have Jason Terry and Courtney Lee. Just imagine that bench, including Jeff Green and Avery Bradley, too! I'm a die-hard Celtics fan, and I think #18 will RISE this season.
The Celtics have and will always be a great team. So what if they don't have Ray Allen? Rajon Rondo will take his place.

Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder are an American professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They compete in the NBA as a member of the Western Conference Northwest Division. The franchise relocated from Seattle in 2008, where it was previously known as the Seattle SuperSonics.
Durant and Westbrook. One of the best scorers in the league, with frequent 40+ point games. Ibaka, the best blocker in the league. Perkins, stable manning the center. And Harden, the best 6th man in the league. Plus, they are young and explosive, which can surprise teams like the Lakers.
At the end of the season, they got 1st in their conference. Kevin Durant is doing better compared to last season. Serge Ibaka, the best blocker in the NBA, is going to play.
They're a good team with more than 10 years left. Fighting against more veteran teams, they can win it this time.

Deepest team in the league! Their bench can beat half of the NBA's starting lineups! Timmy is the best PF in NBA history, and Manu is the greatest sixth man in history! Tony is taking the reins!
Um, only the Miami Heat beat them at the end. They were supposed to win, but the Heat beat them, and this should have been at least TWO!
The bench almost beat Miami, and Miami needed a miracle shot to win.
