The NBA season is starting this tuesday. What does that mean for you as a fan? Well the Cavaliers are a clear threat to any team in the East or any team period. They currently are 5-2 in the preseason and the King has not even played a entire game. The western Conference has no clear favorite because, well the MVP of the 2013-2014 season is out currently do surgery on a right foot injury. Some may say Lebron is the better play so why does the matter? It matters because year after year the Western Conference has had the better teams, not to say that the Eastern Conference teams are purposely tanking but they try a little harder in the West. Maybe its because their better players in the West, what ever the reason the Western Conference is the over all the stronger of the two conferences. The team that will come out of the west will be the Houston Rockets or the San Antonio Spurs. Yes, I know what your thinking why the two Texas teams... or Tim Duncan is to old. Both of those statements are true. Tim Duncan should retire and the two Texas are not the strongest in the West. The Rockets were a good team during the 2012-2013. Last season with the addition of center Dwight Howard they showed they were a great team and that they were a true contender in the West until the playoffs came around. From this experience this young team has learned alot and will be able to compete at a high level and even in the post season. On to the Spurs, clearly are a power house team in the West and by going to the finals for two consecutive year they have shown that. Well deserving of their championship from last season. This team minus the super stars is a definition of team, playing to every players strengths.It also wouldn't hurt to have Tim Duncan or Tony Parker either. And we cant forget about Greg Popovich arguably one of the beat NBA coaches of all time.
Enough about the Western Conference, lets look to the Eastern Conference. There clearly is not anything to talk about in the East besides the Cavaliers will make it to the finals. I will say this, the Cavaliers will not coast to the finals but they will get their. The bulls are the only team that could stop them but i doubt they would win four games in Cleveland.
On to the season opener, wednesday night. There will be match ups between the Rockets and the Lakers , Magic and the pelicans, and Mavericks and the Spurs. None of these games are personally appealing. Possibly the match-up between the Mavericks and Spurs but they're are not in promises.
The clear point here looking ahead, is
the Cavaliers will win the title this season and either the Rockets or the Mavericks can stop that from happening or they can let Lebron get his third ring, stay tuned.
