So it is winter and the big show in the USA has started. The big games in the big arenas have arived. The new NBA Season has already started and it started in a fashion and emotion. So before starting to discuss the latest games lets analyze the rosters of the main contenders. In the west one of the main teams that have aimed at the title are the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have had a big offseason with getting Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Both acquisitions are expected to contribute to a succesful return to the throne for the Lakers. Gasol, Kobe, Nash and Howard are one of the most talked about lineups in the league, but the reigning West Conference champions the Oklahoma City Thunder are again a strong contender even though they traded James Harden and got only Martin from the Rockets. In the east nothing has changed. Again the main contender not only to win the conference, but to have a double is the Miami Heat. King James is stronger than ever and with the help of Bosh and Wade he has a good support next to him.The new contenders in the east are the newly formed Brooklyn Nets and their rivals the New York Knicks. Both New York based teams started very well the season and now are very dangerous for everyone. Of course the season is in its early stage, but still the leaders are already formed in both of the conferences. The big disappointment so far are the Lakers who started with a 1-3 and are still with a losing record of 5-6. Their new coach Marc D'Antoni has a lot of work in order to reach Erik Spoelstra's team and ultimately take the crown from king James. So expect a great season and don't worry the big games have just started and you will constantly see news about the situation in the NBA.
