That's pretty much it.
There were quite a few moves this off season which included Jeremy Lin going to the Rockets, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash going to the Lakers, and the Nets moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn after realizing that the smell couldn't be helped with Febreeze. Howard and Nash to LA are definitely the biggest among them shifting the power quite a bit in the Western Conference. It realistically gives the Lakers a fair chance of getting back to the finals but nothing is guarenteed as the Thunder are still a good team, even without James Harden. Sure, the Lakers lost their first game of the year to the 'Dirkless' Dallas Mavericks but it will take any team some time to get adjusted with their players. The time to panic is later.
The Eastern Conference still has the Miami Heat as the favorite and perhaps much more so now that Ray Allen has taken his talents to South Beach from Boston. The Celtics are still a playoff team (for what it's worth) but they are no longer contenders with the Heat for a spot in the NBA Finals. Heck, I thought they weren't Finals contenders last year.
Quite frankly no team in the East hold a candle to the Miami Heat. The Sixers improve with Andrew Bynum but they aren't ready for the challenge. The Nets will just be happy getting into the postseason in order to sway some fans. The Knicks aren't contentious either and will just be happy to win another playoff game. Lastly, the Bulls only have Derrick Rose on a team that can't win a playoff series without him. The Eastern Conference is a joke and the NBA should just hand the title to the Miami Heat now. Fans of any other Eastern Conference team shouldn't even go to a single game this season just to show their displeasure with how blatantly one sided their conference is.
Looking at the NBA year after year, it's too predictable for me. There are only three legitimate contenders for the NBA title: the Heat, Lakers, and Thunder (Dark horse HA HA HA). The other 27 teams have no chance. For a disclaimer warning: I also don't like Basketball that much, watching it (NBA Finals as well) or playing it. My point is still accurate.
Who is my pick for the NBA title of the Lakers and the Heat? The Heat. Enjoy wasting your time watching regular season games fools.
