Eastern power shift

LeBron James will join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, creating what
certainly appears to be a championship contender in Miami. Amare Stoudemire
has left Phoenix in favor of New York. Carlos Boozer has left Utah in favor
of Chicago. Sense a trend here? Sure, James, Wade and Bosh already played in
the Eastern Conference, but the departures of Stoudemire and Boozer
strengthen the East and weaken the West.

年輕三巨頭+阿罵到NY+Boo可能到Bulls，讓東區整體戰力陡升！

It doesn't ensure a fourth consecutive trip to the Finals for the two-time
defending champion Lakers, but it could make it easier for them. Phoenix gave
the Lakers fits in the West finals in May and Utah has been a troublesome
playoff foe the last three years. The Suns won't be as tough without
Stoudemire and the Jazz won't be as competitive without Boozer, leaving
Denver, Oklahoma City and Portland as the teams to beat.

這樣的態勢，反而讓湖人連續四年打入冠軍賽的機率再度提升。

今年和湖人在季後賽對上的太陽沒有Amare顯得不足為懼

另一對手爵士沒有Boo同樣是boo不為懼

接下來專心對付金塊、雷霆和波波會更好備戰

Of the three, OKC could be the biggest pests for the Lakers. Denver's
situation with Carmelo Anthony is worrisome for Nuggets fans. Signing him to
an extension would solve a great deal of uncertainty. Not signing him could
cause problems. Portland's injury problems derailed any chances of a long
playoff run last spring. Greg Oden's career could be over before it even
starts. As for OKC, the up-and-coming Thunder could prove to be difficult to
contend with for seasons to come after giving Kevin Durant an extension.

延長合約簽下雷帝的雷霆可能是湖人最大的敵人

金塊迷還在煩惱甜瓜的簽約問題

波特蘭的傷兵問題會是他們的痛處，Greg Oden的職業生涯可能還沒真正開始就結束...

What about the Dallas Mavericks?

Or the Clippers?

Or the San Antonio Spurs if they sign Shaq?

小牛、快艇和可能簽下Shaq的馬刺，各位看倌們自己覺得呢?

My prediction: if the Lakers avoid injuries, they should advance to the
Finals again.

作者的預測：健康的湖人應可再度衝擊總冠軍！

只能感謝LBJ和C.Bosh囉！

推 blackmamba01:湖人三連霸 最大阻力是雷霆 熱火? 摩術跟超賽都等著
推 kobesniper:的確雷霆才是讓我們最抖的 其餘都在遙遠的東區
推 goldenlen:打出水準之上的雷霆讓打出水準之下的我們遇上難關
→ goldenlen:我們發揮正常的話，遇上雷霆不用抖吧
→ funkycat:明年的雷霆"理論"上會很強，但是過去灰熊和拓荒者都曾經
→ funkycat:猛個兩年就勞賽，所以我個人覺得傳統強隊依舊是主要敵人
推 zealeliot:推樓上 不出金塊小牛馬刺這些隊伍
→ zhutou:的確 多虧了二巨頭的攪局讓東區更為混亂艱困 而且明年湖人
→ zhutou:的戰績很有可能類似07-08的超賽一枝獨秀 東區實在太亂了
推 tealee:說真的我覺得他去公牛~會是比較好的選擇= =
噓 cooltyus:噓波波
推 goldenlen:oden又傷了嗎??還是一直沒好??
→ funkycat:我也很意外LBJ真的選熱火，不過至少證明他很想要冠軍戒
→ funkycat:他和Wade搭配是加分或減分蠻讓人好奇的，可見下季熱火轉
→ funkycat:播一定會暴增XDD
推 floriany:下個賽季西區最大威脅是雷霆！
→ kazake:太安逸的走到總冠軍戰，未必是好事，但如果對面是身經百戰
→ kazake:累得半死的熱火，說不定結局會很好:D
推 pig307:只有我覺得小牛威脅比較大嗎???
