Lock-Out ended and the Wizards still blow. The Thunder are looking like they'll be the only hope to stop the behemoth that is the Miami Heat and Kobe is crying himself to sleep every night.

Discuss.

A Heat fan here. I know, I know, "such a bandwagoner." Well not really, since I've lived all my life in South Florida. As a longtime fan, I still don't believe in "The New Big 3." LeBron still hasn't found a way to be successful in the Finals and Bosh in my opinion, is too inconsistent to be worth $110 million. The bench is still no where to be found, aside from Norris Cole, and the center core is just awful. With all that this season is their best shot at taking it all since most teams have gotten considerably worse than in previous years, so I would agree that the Thunder is the team to likely come out of the West.

OKC Thunder - Not the complete package but could be it in the next few years. I guess in the case of them you could call me a "Pre-Band Wagoner?" I live nowhere near Oklahoma (although most of my family is from there) but the young team they field is completely in my zone.

@RoseJapan - Both respectable teams. Celtics aren't gonna make it this far this year though, Raja Rondo is starting to realize that he's the only person on his team.

@Panic - My biggest problem with the "Big 2" (Fuck Chris Bosh) is that they have such a tendency to choke that every man on the Heat's bench needs to know the Heimlich Manuever like the back of their hands. One of my favorite Basketball jokes is that if the entire world called out Lebron and Dwayne on being douches, they would fuck that up by solving world hunger.

I love how the moment we say Bosh is inconsistent he puts down fucking 33! Next game he'll score 10 at best.
