Early Favourite for 08/09 NBA and NCAA Title

[cozza]

Just wanted to know peoples thoughts.
Personally I think UCLA and Memphis/UNC will be in the NCAA title game (depends if Tyreke Evans is as good as Derrick Rose), with UCLA to take it out, and in the pro's a Suns/Lakers vs Celts/76ers finals, with whoever came out of the West to take home the goods.

This is the year of the demise of the Spurs and Pistons. Hooray!

Hornets, Lakers and the Rockets are off to 2-0 starts.
Blazers beat the Spurs, lost to LA Lakers.
Suns have played well considering the coaching change, etc.
San Antonio are off to a very poor start, 0-2.

Boston are going 2-0 in the East, bur nothing less should be expected of the reigning champs.

In the NCAA, UNC's Tyler Hansborough is injured, a major setback for the consensus no 1. Will a new challenger rise to replace them? UCLA, Arizona State, Memphis and Tennessee are all legit contenders now the Tar Heels are without Pshyco T.
