I think if Lakers pick up Dwight, that might wrap up the West for the next two years. Pacers lookin' real strong in the East, but I think the Heat will be back next year for sure, I can't say the same for the Thunder. What y'all think?

Lakers aren't getting Howard

The Heat have the easiest road esp if Boston blows it up. Chicago is down... the only team that has any shot is Indiana if they just try to execute and abuse MIA down low and Paul George develops into a star.

The Heat have the easiest road because the Eastern Conference is garbage for the most part. But if they don't improve that roster and continue to play Lebron 45 minutes plus they could easily lose.

The Thunder don't have anyone to worry about in the Western Conference.

Pretty much both of these teams are a lock....they are so much better than the rest of the league that it's ridiculous.

Def The Heat. Chicago without Rose and with Boozer lol, Boston is done, Indiana cant beat the Heat, NY? :manny:

OKC can make it too, only the Lakers (if they improve their roster) can give them a tough series.

Deron is probably the only thing that can get in the way of these 2 teams making it back.

He's going to make some team a serious problem for the Heat or Thunder depending on how this off season plays out.

Too early for this, but for me, i'll say the Heat, other than a healthy Chicago, I don't see any team in the East, with a realistic chance to compete with them

Thunder. Only reason they even lost was because they were facing a way more motivated team. After that first chip teams get lax and the Heat will fall to someone next year.

it's actually the opposite...

This ain't like the NFL where u can win a superbowl and then not make the playoffs the next year. In the NBA once a team is championship level they usually make it again or win it again very soon. This league has been full of repeat champions for a long time.
