The San Antonio Spurs of the Western Conference won the 2014 NBA title after losing in game 7 in 2013. San Antonio is going to be challenged this season by Memphis, Houston, Dallas all from the Southwest Conference.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have taken some hit early in the 2015 season but are no one wants them in the first-round. The Portland Trailblazers look good in the Midwest Division and have an eight-game lead on “OKC”. The Pacific Division-leading Golden State Warriors owns the best record in the NBA, but you can’t count out the Los Angeles Clippers.
The 2014-15 Golden State Warriors have an 8′ game lead over the Clippers and host the San Antonio Spurs in the first game back after the All-Star break. Golden State leads the NBA in scoring offense, averaging a little over 110 points per contest. The Guard Combination of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson can give ant Coaching staff headaches. The Los Angeles Clippers will be without All-Star Blake Griffin for about a week. Griffin is having elbow surgery and Portland Point Guard Damien Lillard will take his place in the NBA Expert PicksAll-Star game. The Phoenix Suns are young but play a style that allows them to be in every game, but they are a year away in the competitive Western Conference. Back to the Northwest Division and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder had the misfortune of being without last season Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant to start the season.Point Guard Russell Westbrook also missed time with a minor injury. The Thunder will make a run in the playoffs, trust us.
The most competitive Division is the Southwest, who will probably get four teams in the postseason. The Memphis Grizzlies have a three-game lead over the second-place Houston Rockets. Houston is without the services of All-NBA Center Dwight Howard, who will be back in a couple of Weeks. Then there is the Dallas Mavericks, who are in third place and once newly acquired Point Guard Rajon Rondo come back “Watch Out”. Then there is the World Champions San Antonio Spurs who are starting to play lock down defense. The last place New Orleans Pelicans have the most talented player in the Division. Anthony Davis and the Pelicans will have to wait another year for a playoff spot.
