2. Oklahoma City Thunder
In the West, the Thunder are the team to beat.
3. Chicago Bulls
Their defense is the NBA’s best.
4. San Antonio Spurs
We always forget about those pesky Spurs.
5. Los Angeles Clippers
Lob City is as dangerous as any team in the West.
6. Dallas Mavericks
The defending champs are playing a lot better lately.
7. Los Angeles Lakers
If the Lakers get some point guard help, watch out!
8. Indiana Pacers
The Pacers are definitely the sleeper team of the East.
9. Memphis Grizzlies
Once they get healthy, the Grizzlies will be a bear.
10. Philadelphia 76ers
They’ve cooled off recently but their D remains stout.
