    For me it's got to be the Denver Nuggets and LA Lakers.

    The Nuggets were so exciting last year in their fast-paced offense and they were very competitive with the Lakers until Bynum and Gasol started to assert themselves on the block and glass. The addition of Iguodala as well as the continued development of Faried and McGee under the tutelage of Karl makes them extremely compelling watching for me.

    The Lakers are a no brainer. I know a lot of people possess animosity towards them, but I'm eager to watch Nash, Howard, Gasol and Kobe learn how to work cohesively during the regular season.

    Many teams actually... Probably because we spread our "assets" out throughout the league.

    Boston - To see Lee & Boston's last chance
    Knicks - Melo is my fav. Always interested
    76ers - Love the starting lineup of that team
    Miami - Ovbious
    Hornets - Rivers & Davis
    Denver - Same reason as 76ers
    Suns - Follow old Rockets

    & kinda Lowry in Toronto.

    Cleveland were like 4 games away 8th seed last season. I hope they make some noise this season. Raptors and Suns should be interesting too.

    Nugs for me as well, along with GSW, and a lil bit of the Pacers.

    I'm Hoping that this is the year that GSW stays healthy since they changed ownership. Youth, depth, a great defensive anchor in Bogut, if he stays healthy, and the last remnants of the previous FO is all but gone.

    Nuggets, for me, is a no brainer. I think that Iggy will complement an already stacked roster. He can better showcase his overall talent without having to attempt being a volume scorer. Great pickup for them. They've been relatively quiet in stacking their roster amidst the bigger trades.

    Pacers...I dunno. I guess I'm just intrigued because of the overall depth and how they'll fare post Bird with both Pritchard and Walsh manning the helm as replacements.

    Can't decide wether to watch them or Lakers, two classiest teams in the league.

    I always follow Miami, and this year I might also watch Portland games.

    Portland's FO is really underrated IMHO, they always have the worst luck, but in the last few years they've managed to getting a ton of really good players: Oden (although taking him over KD was a mistake), LMA, Roy, Batum, and now they drafted Lilliard, who IMHO is just as good or even better a prospect than Irving was in his rookie year.

    Lilliard, Batum and LMA could form a very formidable big 3 as early as next year.

    I'm interested in watching the David Sterns. They're good for the NBA.

    The Warriors.

    But that's just because I love/adore their announcers.

    I'm interested to watch the Warriars. They would be a playoff team if they could stay healthy, they have a solid core of Curry, Lee, and Bogut, as well as some solid role players in Landry, Thompson, and now Harrison Barnes.
