I know it's too early to predict it since we are only half way through the season. My Rockets will be out the picture unless the Basketball god insists:grin: Out of the east, the Knicks looks like a pretender for me. So can the LBJ & Co. defend their title this year? Out of the west, I believe it will be between Clippers and Thunders. But who is better when it comes to playoff since it is most of mismatch?
It's hard to gauge the Heat b/c they have been coasting for a lot of the games. Can they turn on the switch? In the West, it's b/t the Thunder, Clips, and Spurs.
I think we could see a repeat of OKC and Miami. I can't see anyone beating Miami in the east this point. The west on the other hand is stacked.

Forget about the title this year, Lakers' season is gonna be so epic that it is going down in history and become a legend.
Is going to be either the Thunder, Spurs or Miami. Most likely Miami. Clippers are good and so are the Knicks but they both have no chance against teams with experience and talent. But a lot CAN CHANGE in the free agent trading dead line.
