Here's how I see the NBA's top 30 teams and the NBA postseason award winners for the 2009-10 season:

1. Orlando Magic (59-23)

With the Magic in my top spot, this also means that also picking them to win the NBA Championship in June. The Magic are the only team in the league to be ranked in the top six in scoring and defense. Dwight Howard deserves to be the Defensive Player of the Year Award winner.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers (61-21)

Cleveland might have the most wins, but I just think the Magic are a notch above them when I look at the full body of work for both teams. I have Cleveland at number two because they and the Magic are the only two teams to be in the top ten in scoring and points against.

3. Utah Jazz (53-29)

I’m seriously picking this team to win the Western Conference Championship. Not very many people are picking them because of other teams like the Lakers and Mavericks. But Jerry Sloan is a genius, Carlos Boozer is a great defensive player, the Jazz are great at home, they have a great offense. I think Boozer, Williams, and Mehmet Okur could surprise some in the playoffs.
