The NBA season officially started last night with 3 games, and the first full night of games starts off tonight. Instead of giving a team by team breakdown like everyone else (and due to the fact I am not prepared to do so), I'll give you a little condensed "most-likely-to" list.
So without further ado, welcome to the most anticipated season in NBA history.

Western Conference
Most likely to sneak up on everyone and win it all: Los Angles Lakers
Best Player in the World (arguably): Check. Back-to-Back Champions: Check. Coach with the most Championships ever: Check. They aren't surprising anyone, but every major media is focusing on the East this year. With all the publicity going to Amare and the Knicks, LeBron and his South Beach buddies, and even the stinking Hawks, Kobe is still Kobe.

Team/ Player to make the jump from wow, to WOW: KD and OKC
In case you were sleeping, the youngest team in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder (That's the SuperSonics, fyi), lead by young pup Kevin Durant took the defending Champion Lakers to a 7 game series in last years playoffs. The home game atmosphere was enough to make you say things frowned upon by your pastor. But when you realize the leader of this team is 22 years old, you start to really look forward to this season. The very anti-LeBron the league needs right now, KD and other youngsters like Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green, along with one of the deepest benches might make adjectives ineffective.
