Well now that the NFL season is done besides the Pro Bowl it is time to turn our attention to the NBA season and some interesting things are happening right now. In the Eastern Conference you have the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Orlando Magic as the cream of the crop. With only one team that can go to the finals it will be interesting to see these Big three slug it out. Another team to watch in the Eastern Conference is the Atlanta Hawks as they are much better than people give them credit for.
The Western Conference is just as interesting as well with the Los Angeles Lakers looking to be the cream of the crop. San Antonio and Denver are two other teams to watch as well. I do like the Lakers out west even without Bynum their center who maybe lost for some time. The Western conference does have a lot of teams that could get hot in the second half so you just never know anymore.
One of the biggest things that these teams will have to deal with is injuries. As the season goes along they will pile up so we will have to see what a difference it really makes down the stretch. I think it could impact several teams in a big way if they lose any players for a prolonged period of time.
