College (and NBA) Hoops

Hard to pick who's going to be challenging for the title next season.

Warriors are probably out of it (for sad reasons really - I really feel sorry for both of the injured players, even if I wanted the Raptors to win the title). The Lakers are still a little thin, but they'll put a team around Davis and James. Houston are a one-man side, but a good man to have. The Raptors will challenge again if Kawhi stays, but you have to think they'll regress if he leaves. The Bucks looks solid - I'd have them as challenging. The 76ers are a little too long with the bookies for mine - worth a punt if you're looking for value. There's still some big player moves that could shake this all up though.

Yeah, I was thinking this the other day. Next season really will be interesting as, for the first time in ages, there doesn't seem to be any team that is clearly dominant. If I had to put money on who is in the finals next year I'd plump for Denver - Milwaukee.
