Who's the best team in the NBA after Miami?

[Nash]

As long as they have Westbrook and Durant? OKC

I get that, but what about what is behind them? If the NBA has showed us anything the last few years is that width is super important. Unless you have Lebron(and even that was almost not enough going 7 games against spurs and indy) on your team who can fill in the holes, teams with a lot of all around quality like Dallas(2011), Spurs, Indiana will do a lot of damage.

And people need to take into account if Durant or Westbrook aren't there they will have all kinds of problems filling that huge hole. Last playoffs OKC looked like shit without Westbrook and this year they won't even have Kevin Martin.

Bulls, but the Pacers could pip them this year. Will be interesting to see how the Clippers go under Doc too.

[mugiwara]

Thunder! dont even know how to play as a team. jeez. they are dreadful to watch.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I would say Nets but they are better than Miami. It goes Nets, Heat, Bulls, Thunder.

Regular season? Indy/bulls
playoffs?san antonio

[funnystuff]

I expect the Bulls to do well in the regular season and all the Chicagotards are gonna get worked up just to be deeply dissappointed when they 2nd round exit.

[aj1987]

I would say Nets but they are better than Miami. It goes Nets, Heat, Bulls, Thunder.

Be prepared to be thoroughly disappointed during the season.


Bulls.

People will over-think it.

Fact of the matter is Westbrook aint out the whole year. Will be out a month at most.

Two top five players. Chemistry. Experience. Hunger.

It's a really easy answer but then again idiots tend to have trouble with easy questions.

Westbrook aint a top 5 player and they dont have anybody else.

Tne clipper look better including actually having a good coach this time

[All Net]

Spurs until proven otherwise.

[SacJB Shady]

I'd say Warriors and then Miami. The Thunder are like Miami, but without the depth
