The two best teams in the last campaign are both 7/2 to go all the way after the Celtics came out on top last season winning the best of seven final four games to two.

New England’s finest have added free agent Darius Miles to their roster for the coming season in order to help their title defence. The forward was originally drafted with the third overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers and was recently with for the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2005-06 season when he averaged a career high 14.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 40 games. Miles missed all of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons due to injury but Boston are confident he is fully recovered.

The LA Lakers, despite all their high profiles stars, were disappointing in that final series and the Californians will be hoping to go one better this season. To do this they’ve added both CJ Giles who was unattached and Chinese international Sun Yue, who signs a multi-year contract to their roster.

The latter joined the Lakers as a second round draft pick in 2007 after posting impressive stats in the ABA. He spent last season in Singapore but has returned to bolster the LA roster.
