Eastern Conference Breakdown
The Eastern Conference in the NBA is flat out stacked. From the top to the bottom almost all of the teams made the necessary moves to put their squads in great positions to succeed. The defending NBA champion Miami Heat will look to 3peat this year and even though they lost glue player Mike Miller they hope that the additions of Michael Beasely & Greg Oden will fill the gap.
Throw in title contenders like the Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers and even the New York Knicks and you can just see how serious the battle for the Eastern Conference will be this year. Plus, a healthy Derrick Rose may be the only player that could prevent LeBron James from winning another MVP award. Best believe there will be plenty of fireworks when Chicago heads to Miami for the opening night of the NBA season later this month.
