After a trip to the NBA Finals, the Mavericks have finally become the hunted in teh Western Conference. With everyone getting better, can they go back to the top, or will they ride into the sunset.
It's been 12 seasons since the Warrior franchise has been in the playoffs. They suffered through almost every other kind of situation possible, but can they break through and finally get back to the postseason?
There was no more extreme case of the injury bug than what happened in Houston. Now Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming are healthy, and with extra pieces, they could make a significant improvement.
The Clippers found themselves in an unfamiliar place in May... playing playoff basketball. With veteran Sam Cassell leading the team, they went from perennial joke to legitimate contender. Can they make good this season?
Nobody expected too much from the Lakers last season. Phil Jackson came back and led the team back to the playoffs, but do they have the talent around Kobe Bryant to succeed in a deep Conference?
This is a young team that has gotten younger with some of the moves they have made in the offseason. With GM Jerry West planning to leave his post at the end of the coming season, the pressure is on the Grizzlies to win now. Can they do it?
Kevin Garnett quickly found out that he couldn't do it on his own in Minnesota. They aren't too far removed from their run to the Conference Finals a few years back, and Garnett is hungrier to win. Can this group return to glory and the postseason?
This team proved its mettle last season. With a rookie point guard, displaced in a new home, and without top level talent to compete with the best in the West, the Hornets fought till the end for the postseason. They shouls get themselves a lot closer.
So close, yet still so far. The Suns, without Amare Stoudemire, were able to get to the Western Conference Finals. Two tough previous rounds wore them down, but they've reloaded and look to make another run.
This team never got it going last season, and it showed on the basketball court. They finished with the worst record in the NBA. But there's hope for hoop for you Blazer fans... they've gotten younger and have gotten better players.
The Kings just slid into the playoffs last season in Western Conference and were eliminated in the first round. They return almost the same team, with one glaring exception, but they are looking for an easier road. Will they find it this season?
When you finish the regular season with the best record in the tough Western Conference, you expect big things. The San Antonio Spurs were disappointed with their loss to the Mavericks in the Semifinals, but they are aging and might not have enough.
The Sonics went from being the Northwest Division champs two seasons ago and being among the top of the Conference to dropping to be one of the worst. Can they return to their old form or was last season a more accurate picture?
The Jazz fought until almost the end of the season to get into the playoffs only to fall short. They have the talent and depth, particularly up front, to compete with the best in the NBA. Will they return to the playoffs amidst a crowded Conference?
Last season the Bulls were too young and inexperienced to see too much postseason success. Well, they've gotten older, let's see if they've gotten better or wiser on the court. They could be returning as a beast in the East.
LeBron James asserted himself as one of the NBA's best last season, and this season the pressure is on him now to elevate his team even deeper in the playoffs. Can James and Co. bring a title to Cleveland?
the Pistons may have lost their identity on defense in Ben Wallace, but they are looking more towards the other side of the court in order to succeed this season. Will a new emphasis on adjusting to the NBA's shift to speedy offenses work for the Pistons?
Gone are the days of Reggie Miller and the good citizen Pacers. This new incarnation is rough and doesn't have the best image in the media. Can they put that to the side and remain contenders in the East?
The Heat are out to prove that the addage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is applicable to them. They return all of the key pieces from the Championship run, but the bulls-eye is on their back. Can they repeat the feat?
The Bucks went from having the first pick in the draft in 2005 to a playoff team laat season. Can they build for the future with a young core and some veteran presence?
The Nets possess a trio of talented superstars which have a decent supporting cast. Can they run their way past the rest of the competition in the Eastern Conference?
The knicks have the highest payroll in the league, yet their team could very well be the wrost. Are they over-priced and under-talented, or were they just mis-handled by the coach? We'll find out with Isiah Thomas now at the helm.
Can the Magic shock some of the NBA world by returning to the postseason so quickly after tanking it the past couple of seasons? Their young talent is good, but are they ready for the pressure that can come with potential expectations?
After spending most of the offseason trying to deal their star, the Sixers now have a disgruntled Allen Iverson and a team that is full of discontent. Can they get it togehter when the season starts?
The Raptors are a team which has some potential and a lot of room to grow. But can they grow into that team this season, where the conference and even their division is still a bit top-heavy?
Long gone are the days of the Bullets. These Wizards are built for the regular season, but can they take that success into the postseason and do something special, or are they relegated to only using their magic powers under supervision?
Michael Jordan takes an ownership role with this team in the hopes of building a winner. Adding Adam Morrison to a budding cast makes for interesting NBA drama. Can they get to winning anytime soon?
Can this season bring some shades of glory back to Bean Town? They love their Celtics and have been disappointed in recent years, but with some more talent and some belief, could they turn it around this season?
Can the Altanta Hawks get past their youth and relative inexperience and head towards respectability in the mediocre Eastern Conference? Or are they too young to compete?
2005 was an interesting one of the Washington Redskins. They weren't expected to do much with a "washed-up" quarterback Their coach was "over-the-hill." Well, 2006 is a year of much higher expectations. Can they produce?
Eli Manning has made splashes in his second season, showing a better grasp of the Giants' offense. Can they continue to build on an impressive 2005 which saw them win the NFC East?
The Silver and Black have reached into their past in order to lead the team into the Future. Art Shell returns as the Head Coach, but with a new quarterback and a lack of discipline, can the Raiders jump over their division foes into contention?
Are you really proud when you get the label of "best team in the league not to make the playoffs?" The Chargers had to deal with that in 2005. But will 2006 be different? They start with a new leader under center and a new outlook. Can they rebound?
As proven by teams in the past, a high-powered offense sometimes isn't enough to carry a team. The 2005 Kansas City Chiefs figured that out. But they bring in a new coach, hell bent on playing well in the new season. Can that be the difference in 2006?
The Broncos made waves with their 2005 AFC West Championship. But as always, the Broncos make moves to get better, something they do after every season. They made the AFC Championship game in 2005 and look to get a step further, like the Super Bowl.
Can one player really turn a team that missed the playoffs into a Super Bowl contender? The Dallas Cowboys hope that Terrell Owens can be that guy, cause they are eyeing a trip to Super Bowl XLI. Can Owens push them over the hump?
