The Lakers are the favorites in the West, but the Thunder have a chance. Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka will be better by the time April rolls around. The advantage they have is they've played together for 3 years in big time situations.
The Lakers look Godly on paper, and the pieces fit together better than the Heat's dream team. However, we have yet to see how their chemistry will be. Howard is the best center in the league, but how bad does he want it? Age and injuries could also come in to play.
If they gel and stay healthy they are going to be a mother ****er for the Thunder or Heat to beat.
