This is going to be a really interesting NBA basketball season, and I’m very excited that he’s getting ready to start. This season should be full of action and twists and turns, and most importantly, some incredible rivalries already established should be on the way to flourish.
Who will win it all this year? That’s the big question no one knows the answer to, but we can do our best to make some predictions about the upcoming 09-10 NBA season. There are some contenders, and let’s break them down.
First, there are the Los Angeles Lakers. I’d call them favorites right now, for two reasons. First of all, they are the defending champions. If they won a championship, they really have to be considered favorites at this point. On top of that, they acquired Ron Artest, one of the best defensive players in the NBA. It’s scary to think of the best this team could be.
Then there is the Orlando Magic. The Magic reached the final last year and, as a young team, they can improve. There is another important factor, and that is Vince Carter. The All-Star now plays in Orlando and should increase this team’s chances.
Next would be the Cleveland Cavaliers. This team, which many thought could win a title last season, is even better with Shaq in the mix.
So we can’t forget about the Boston Celtics. With last year’s team healthy and Rasheed Wallace, this is a great team.
