Lets see
We have an overrated Lakers team
Nets are not contenders and will never be
Bulls are out because Rose is not healthy
Celtics are old and will never get 2nd seed in the East
Knicks are a joke, one of the most hilarious jokes this decade
So we basically only have Thunder and Heat.
Let me remind you one more time - Lakers wont even make it to West finals. Howards back surgery, ballhog Kobe, no chemistry = failure.
Heat was already better than Thunder this year, but they improved with decent wings (Allen, Lewis), while Thunder still remains the same and immature.
This years NBA will be boring as fukk.
