01.) Los Angeles Clippers (1st West)

The Clippers are my number one seed in the Western Conference and in the NBA. To be fair to you naysayers, you may be correct because I had them here last year too and it simply just didn’t work out. This year will Doc Rivers second year with the team and I think he has a great chance to lead this team to the championship this season. Whether you agree or not, you can’t deny the fact, that the Clippers have the best roster in all of basketball. Does the best team always win? No. So, I don’t want to go around predicting them to win the NBA Finals. But right now, I think they are the best team in basketball.

Question: Can Chris Paul get it done in the postseason?

Chris Paul has had multiple last post-season runs cut short by high play or his teammates play. He gets close but yet he has never been able to bring home the gold and make an NBA Finals. If Chris Paul is seriously the best Point Guard in the NBA, I have to see more from him to believe it. I think he answers the bell this year. Chris Paul better show the world that he is the best point guard in the game, or people are going to start talking about someone else.
