Could be any of the easy picks: Miami, LA, Boston... but frankly, I'm sick of hearing about them all already... the team (and player) I'll be rooting for all year, even though they probably still don't have enough to make a ton of noise in the playoffs, is the Thunder and Kevin Durant. Always enjoyed him as a player and what he did on the USA team this summer made me respect him and appreciate his game 10X more. Kid is a baller and I'll be rooting for the Thunder!

^^^ I am actually sick of all the people who hate Kobe, but especially hate Lebron- and hate all the teams that are suppose to be good- so they go with Durant and the up and coming thunder. Just say "I hate Lebron- Durant had a good year and he is better then him" even though Lebron has a much better all around game.

Personally- I cant wait for the easy picks to be the final 4 or so teams in the playoffs. If it were up to me (not being biased here or else I would want Bulls in Eastern conf. finals) I would LOVE a Boston vs. Heat matchup-winner getting the Lakers. Lakers vs. Boston rematch would be epic and ideal, especially with the new additions to each team and a classic Kobe Shaq match up. Thus- bringing me to my predictions

Kobe and the Lakers win the third in as many years by defeating the Celtics. Surprise pick of Dirk winning MVP as I expect them to get the 2 seed and after the first three games I think LEbron will turn into more of an all around player rather then someone who can just put up mass points. Also-Kobe should win it-but wont put up the numbers. The way Kobe improves his team by pushing them and demanding a lot out of them is what makes the Lakers the Lakers which is why I think the should get it. So no Kobe, No Lebron- Surprise team of Mavs doing work and getting a 2 seed lead by Dirk=Dirk MVP

Down with Durant, Down with the Thunder

Does Lebron really have a better all around game?

KD is a much much better shooter.

What can I say, I don't watch the NBA much and that's just my personal opinion. I was sick of hearing about the Miami Heat about two months ago.

Without question. Lebron has much better court vision- he is head and shoulders better at passing (he may be the best passer in the game) and he is arguably the best driver in NBA history. His shooting is getting a lot better also- while its not as good as KD-it is becoming pretty good. There is a reason he is the two time raining MVP.

Durant and the Thunder play an 0-4 Clippers team tonight... they should secure the victory and move to 3-1.

Is Durant and OKC overrated? I just recently started thinking about this, but what has Durant really done in this league? I knwo he was the scoring leader, but it's not all about scoring. He isn't really that special of a player in other categories, and what is the best thing he did for his team? They were an 8 seed last year, not all that special.

That goes against everything I have ever thought about basketball. Banned.
