Teams to Watch in the NBA

Before the 2009-10 season began I would like to tell you the top 5 contenders in the NBA...

1. LA Lakers - obviously they will be the team to beat because they are the defending champion and they still have enough talent to repeat. With Kobe still at his prime and having enough support the Lakers are a tough team to beat.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers - the might have a very disappointing playoffs run but with the addition of a veteran center Shaquille O'Neal the Cavaliers now have the talent and experience to compete for the title.

3. Boston Celtics - with KG returning and Rasheed Wallace now on their bench, the Celtics will surely be one of the favorites.

4. San Antonio Spurs - if they have a healthy lineup, they might surprise many people because they still have the tools having the same system to rise to the top.

5. Denver Nuggets - last season they prove that they are one of the top teams in the NBA and this coming season they might just step up to another level having the enough talent and experience.
