Suns NBA Picks
The Phoenix Suns entered the 2013-14 NBA season as a near-consensus to finish last, or at least near last, in a brutally tough Western Conference. As it turns out, fans and analysts alike couldn’t have been more wrong.

The Houston Rockets were shocked last season when the Portland Trail Blazers sent them packing in the first round of the playoffs. This is a championship-or-bust kind of roster, and while that mentality hasn’t changed, the team now has a lot more to prove following a disappointing first-round exit.
No team made an offseason splash like the Cavs did. It would have been more than enough to bring LeBron home but adding others for a possible championship runs makes things pretty exciting.
The Atlanta Hawks looked like the third-best team in the Eastern Conference last season behind the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers when healthy, but “when healthy” didn’t last long, as Al Hoford’s injury set them back, resulting in an eight-seed finish.
The Washington Wizards were a pleasant surprise last season, and should continue showing improvement during the 2014-15 NBA campaign.
The Miami Heat are going to have a drastically different look than they have the past four seasons. The 2014-15 NBA campaign will be the first year since LeBron James came to town that they’re not considered favorites, but out East, they should still compete for home-court advantage with talent across the roster.
The Los Angeles Clippers are an elite NBA team. There’s really no denying that at this point in the process; the question is whether or not they can finally get over the hump and advance past the second round of the postseason.
The Western Conference is as jam-packed with top-tier talent as it’s ever been, which is why there are so many teams worth looking at when projecting the conference champion.

For Starters, LeBron James’ decision to spurn the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers has shaken the foundation of the Association. Combine that with the Cavs’ acquisition of Kevin Love, the Bulls’ acquisition of Pau Gasol and the emergence of youth on the Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors, and you have a conference that is up for grabs after four years of dominance by the Heat.
The 2014-15 NBA season is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated seasons in recent years.
The move of LeBron James and Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers has shifted the overall landscape of the league, and while the Eastern Conference may have two of the top teams in the Cavs and Chicago Bulls, it’s the West that has elite teams scattered all over the conference.
The Denver Nuggets were ravaged by injuries during the 2013-14 NBA season. As long as health is out of sight and out of mind this upcoming season, the Nuggets’ NBA odds will improve, and the team will be ready to compete for a spot in the 2014-15 postseason—even if they make it as a surprise squad, considering how tough the Western Conference is at this juncture.
The 2014-15 NBA betting season is approaching with as much hype as any season in recent history. LeBron James’ return to the Cleveland Cavaliers is the major reason why, but from the perspective of the Northwest Division, the bigger news is the departure of Kevin Love.
