"There are legitimate nine title contenders in the NBA"



I tend to agree, there are no sure bet juggernauts. It's going to be a bloodbath

Clippers have the best shot. And I hope they get it, would be nice to see history made from one guy winning a chip in a dumpster fire city like Toronto, taking off (because even all that money they offered him and a championship wasn't enough to stay in trash Toronto, LOL) and then winning another chip the very next year.... in the other conference.

That would show some serious dominance in the league, one we haven't seen since MJ.

9? Not even close. There's 2.5 teams that are contending. Lakers, clippers and whoever comes out of the east. Whoever that is won't have much of a shot. That's why I said .5

I don't agree, barring injuries which is inevitable many teams have a 'shot'.

Once more and he will still manage to lose

I just hope this isn't one of those years where injuries start dropping guys like flies for the season.

[sdot_thadon]

He's probably right though, not sure about 9 I'd say more like 5 legit contenders for the chip and a ton of darkhorses depending on circumstance. Should be a great year for fans.
