The Oklahoma City Thunder
Despite the loss of James Harden to the Houston Rockets, this team is too talented not to make another serious run at the title. With Kevin Durant sharpening up his steak knife, and Russell Westbrook nearing full strength, these two devastating scorers should create plenty of problems for the Miami Heat. Don’t forget that Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka are still in the paint beating up trespassers, and you can expect this team to make huge strides towards taking the throne this year.
