There are a lot of great teams in the NBA this year, not just in the West. East has a lot of great teams also, even though I think West is still better from 1-8. (but the question is not about that.) Anyways you got the Cavs (31-7), Orlando (33-8 ), Celtics (33-9 (those were the East top 3 teams.) Lakers (31-8 ), Spurs (26-13), Nuggets (27-14), I know there are still teams like the Hornets, Rockets, Suns, Blazers, Utah, and Mavs. But those 3 teams are the top three of the west.

Anyways, from what you have seen so far, who is the best team in the NBA?

I still have to say the Lakers, I think we are way too deep, we have a few of our guys out, but I think we'll get them back and start playing like we were before the injuries really hit us. We really came off two tough losses, so I'm not really worried about them. Anyways your thoughts? I would like positve feedback's, please don't hate. Thank you.

Well, this year the top teams all have had slumps so it is hard to say. On form this year you would have to say Cleveland although the Celtics have looked strong at the start and in some other games.

As for the Lakers I think they have gone downhill, Kobe is lifting them in every game with some other little contributions for some other players. Having said that the Lakers are my All Time best team and I am sure they will put the franchise back on that path.

L.A. and Cleveland are definetily the best teams this season.

I agree the Lakers would be the All-Time best team, but this team isn't anything compared to "Showtime" at all.

The Lakers Are the Best All Time team by far

I agree, it's very tough to decide, there are so many great teams.

Well it is tough to decide..
But I am going to have to go with my favorite team..
Cleveland Cavaliers!

Lakers are the best, followed closely by Boston, Cleveland and Orlando. I think the East is getting more dominant than the West, to be honest!

i like the pistons

CAVS man!

they're the top RANK in NBA now!

Power Rankings should mean nothing.
All it is is one expert's opinion on the best teams.

yes wait until the cavs vs lakers 2nd game

and we will see!

Lakers single handedly crushed the Caveliers.

Cavs had no injury, Lakers had no injury. (well, both may ahve had some but none MAJOR)

You can't really say Lakers won because of home-court.
It shoudn't have an affect that causes 15-20 points.

Lakers >> Magic >> Cavs >> Celtics >> Spurs >> Pistons

I have to say I disagree with the above post, The Celtics should be higher than the Lakers at the moment. I would say the Orlando Magic or Cleveland Cavaliers should be at the top due to the good form they are in at the moment. If the Celtics beat the Orlando Magic today I really think the Celtics deserves the 2nd spot as they have began on a roll after the terrible lossing streak although in the recent games they have turned it around.

HOW I SEE IT:

Cavaliers >>> Magic >>> Celtics >>> Lakers >>> Spurs

Yes, I agree Magic is the best.

Cavs and Lakers in close second.

Then i would put in the Celtics. "They are garbage when you stand up to the." Bobcats

I gotta go with my team Cleveland!

I gotta go with my team Orlando or my other team L.A.
