I know, saying that the Los Angeles Lakers will win the West again is a bold statement, but it is true so deal with it!

The East on the other hand has tons of different scenarios that could go down. LeBron James' Cleveland Cavs look like the front runner to win the East right now, but they definitely have some strong competition.

The competition might come until the semi finals or even the Eastern conference finals, but the fact is that it is there and will have to be dealt with.

Early in the season everyone thought that the Boston Celtics would repeat. They even looked like they could best Michael Jordan's Bulls for the best record all time 72-10, but that didn't happen.

The thing was while everyone was on the Celtics green nuts, the Cavs and the Orlando Magic were starting to become legit contenders in the East.

As of right now I could honestly say that any of these three teams could reach the finals: Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Which team will come out on top and eventually lose to the Lakers in the finals? (yes, I said lose to the Lakers) Who knows, but be sure it will be one of those teams.
