NBA Championship Winner 2012

NBA season opening day: December 25, 2011 (Sunday)

To win the NBA Championship 2012:

1. +175 Miami Heat
2. +600 Chicago Bulls
3. +600 Oklahoma City Thunder
4. +750 Los Angeles Lakers

The Miami Heat will come into the season as the defending Eastern Conference champions, the second season playing with the "Big Three": Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh. They will be looking to bounce back (= be succesful after a failure) from their disappointing finish to the previous year where they lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. Following the 2011 NBA lockout the Heat will only play 66 games this season.
