They have a shot to win it, but New York, if healthy, is probably better than them. Too much depth in NY.
They'll more than likely repeat? They have a good chance but so do a number of other teams.
I wouldn't chalk the Thunder up as a win. Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka were all 23 last year. There is still room for improvement, not even in their prime. There is also the Clippers and Hawks. I wouldn't chalk up any of those as wins. Hawks had just gotten Horford back in the playoffs last season. There are a handful of teams that could take the Heat.
Stoudemire and Shumpert aren't anything to hang your hat on. Chandler and Kidd are extremely productive, and then Novak and Brewer are solid, and so is Camby, but they don't even play him. This season Thomas and Prignioni are both playing really well, but no way to know if they'll keep it up.
