Si Players Nba Poll

Which team will win the NBA title this season?

Los Angeles Lakers 67%

Boston Celtics 20%

Cleveland Cavaliers 4%

San Antonio Spurs 2%

FAST FACTS
The Lakers' support was virtually equal among Eastern Conference and Western Conference voters.... At week's end the Celtics (22--2), Cavaliers (20--4) and Lakers (20--3) had the NBA's best records.... Aside from the Lakers' Kobe Bryant (fourth in the league, averaging 24.9 points), neither L.A. nor Boston had a player in the top 30 in scoring average.... A Celtics-Lakers finals would be the first rematch since the Bulls beat the Jazz in 1997 and '98.
