Teams to look out for this season

1. Washington Wizards - After going an abysmal 19-63 the Wizards look set to embark on a successful journey this time around. They finished with less than 41 wins for the first time in four seasons and that is largely due to the fact Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood played in a monstrous 8 games combined. With a healthy agent zero and his 2 side kicks, Antawn Jamieson and Caron Butler, the Wizards seem as though they can regain the magic they showed in previous years. With the additions of all-round guard Randy Foye and sharp shooting Mike Miller the new look Wizards seem to be on the right track and become a force in the mighty east.

2. Oklahoma City - With arguably the best young tandem in the league, Oklahoma City have gained another year of experience under their belts and look set to make a push at the playoffs this season. Kevin Durant will need to continue his spectacular play alongside guard Russel Westbrook and forward Jeff Green as their expectations have been lifted for the forth coming year.

3. L.A. Clippers - With one of the best rosters on paper the Clippers just couldn't get it together last year as injuries took center stage and put an end to playoff hopes early in the season. With number 1 overall pick Blake Griffin being inserted into the mix, the Clippers look to finish in the top 8 this year instead of the bottom 3 teams in the association. Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman should lead Griffin in the right direction as he tries for rookie of the year honours. A healthy Baron Davis at the point with newly acquired Sebastien Telfair and Eric Gordon beside him would most definitely put the Clippers back on the map in a competitive western conference.
