Hello,

I feel like picking up the NBA again but I haven't watched a game since 1998 so... yeah. I'm going to purchase the league pass for 5 teams, but I'd like you to help me picking the team I should watch.

Here are my ideas:

- Lakers, because I enjoy watching Kobe playing.
- Heat, I think there are wade and james there and I heard they're good.
- Cleveland/Detroit - No idea of these teams perform, but they were quite good I think
- Chicago for Rose who seems to own
- Clippers with a funny line-up

Could you help me and justify your choice ?

Thanks

Heat - Lebron.
Bulls - Derrick Rose, MVP.
Clippers - Lob City
Thunder - the 2002 Athletics in Basketball form, except Giambi and Damon stayed.

Cleveland and Detroit are god awful.

OKC is always exciting and they do well. The Knicks are fun to watch because there's a ridiculous amount of scoring

But my bet is the Clippers will be the most exciting team to watch this season. I'd say a reasonable over/under for alley oops each game from Chris Paul to Blake Griffin is 4.

I highly agree with this. Maybe you can throw in the celtics sometimes.

LA, LA LA.

I'm gonna cheer for bulls this season, cause I need a non-LA team to cheer for. ><

I also agree with okc

edit: heat for wade only :D
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

LA - I'm a Laker's fan so thats a biased pick
OKC - Durant is fun to watch and they are all super young and athletic
LA Clippers - Chris Paul and Blake Griffin should be a entertaining combo
Heat - I personally hate the team, but they have 3 all-stars and 2 of the greatest to play, so why not
Bulls- Derrick Rose

Props on following the NBA again, even though its a shortened season unfortunately

get rid of detroit and cleveland and replace them with knicks because its a very interesting team with chandler, melo, stoudermire and because they are due for some succes.

Also u should have the Mavs on there just because they are the champs. Now, I'm a Celtics fan but tbh i'm really not sure what's gonna happen there this season.

Knicks. Easy time to watch 5 teams, since superstars are now congregating into super teams.

Miami/Clippers/Knicks give you 3 mvp candidates, 7+ allstars, nba champion and olympic gold medalist tyson chandler.
Bulls and OKC are also full of young to in their prime talented players.

Boston and Lakers are fading, though they still have hall of fame players.

Clippers - LOB CITY!!!

Knicks - Dude, Melo/Stoud/Chandler/Davis???

Lakers - I'm a die-hard Laker fan. Go watch some Kobe.

Thunder - Durant ALL DAY

Heat - Grudgingly as I am completely a Lebron hater.

Miami, OKC, Minnesota, Portland, Denver

all these teams play fast paced offensive basketball that's really enjoyable to watch

people might recommend teams like chicago/LA but they play really slow and are often in slugfests
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?
