The Thunder have 2 All-Stars, Kevin Durant (Former League Mvp) and Russel Westbrook ( A candidate for Mvp last year), many other above average players including Serge Ibaka, Dion Waiters, and Enes Kanter.They ended the season with 45 wins and 35 losses which was a better record than 3 teams that made playoffs in the east. The Thunder didn't make the playoffs last year because of the competitive west but they have a big chance this year.
4. Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets have the best Shooting Guard in the Nba, James Harden. The also have arguably the best center in league, Dwight Howard. In the 2014-15 season playoffs they beat the Mavericks in 4 games. They were down 3-1 in the Conference Finals but when on a run and won in game 7.They lost against the Warriors in game 5. In the playoffs, Harden averaged 27.2 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.7 rebounds while his teammate ,Howard averaged 16.4 points and 14 rebounds per game. The Rockets has a good team which made them get far in the playoffs.
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have the best player in the world, Lebron James, they also have an all-star, Kyrie Irving. Kevin Love is also a very good offensive player. The cavs also have many other good players including Tristian Thompson, J.R Smith, Iman Shupmert and Timofey Mozgov. The Cavaliers made it to the finals but lost. If they didn't have injuries that made Kevin love and Kyrie Irving not play more than one game total in the finals, they would have a big chance at winning. Cavaliers are one of the favorites going into the 2015-16 season.
The Warriors turned out to be the Nba champions for the 2014-15 season so I had to add them to this list. They have arguably the best three pointer of all time, Stephen Curry who was the MVP for the 2014-15 season. They also have another All-Star Klay Thompson. The finals MVP Andre Iguodala is also another great player in the Warriors. They also have many above average players including Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut. The Warriors have a pretty good chance at repeating winning as Nba Champions.
1. San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs are number one for different reasons. The newly added LeMarcus Aldridge has made the Spurs a serious Finals contending team. They still have one of the best power forward of all time, Tim Duncan. They also have Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili who are both good players with alot of experience. The Spurs have a very talented rostor.
