I would put the Bulls against the Heat too, but it all depends on Rose..Yea he's a great passer, very underrated part of his game
I got the Bulls meeting the Heat.
Tell you one thing though I hope BK doesn't make it just to see the under the table moves Prok will pull next offseason. I'm still laughing at that AK47 contract, you just know dude got an account in Russia with ruble out the ***

That's right Griffin can't wait to see you shoulder more of load toward the end of games with that newfound midrange game of yours.

Speaking of Griffin and the Clippers, this will be Ralph Lawler's (play by play guy) last season calling games. 
Through the changes over the years, he's always the constant within the organization.

I'm really interested to see how Blake improves his game this year. He shot 37% from midrange last season on 275 attempts. Ibaka shot 49% on 264 attempts, Bosh 52% on 342 attempts. I know he probably will not improve THAT much, but he should be working towards that.
Also, while improving his midrange game is important, there is no reason why he should not spend the majority of his time in the paint. Its like Lebron being a shooter, rather than attacking the rim. At Griffin's size, I actually hope to see him cut down on his midrange jumpers (while still increasing his shooting %), but being more efficient on the block. That's where he will be more of a help IMO with shooters like JJ and Dudley on the team. If he can command more and more double teams on the block, it will open things up so much for LAC on the perimeter.

I just worry about their defense come playoff time.
Jordan, Griffin and Mullens up front.
Dudley and Redick are solid team defenders. Barnes is a good individual defender too, but you have to worry about his age catching up to him. Crawford is awful. Paul and Collison are pests, but can be overpowered.

When Indy is the team that is closest to dethroning the champs, AND got much better this offseason.
Nets got the bigger names, Pacers were already close enough to taste it tho. Just getting 3 key vets in Brook won't be enough after that heartless display they put out there last year against a depleted Bulls squad.

Pacers still don't have a point guard and they still aren't great offensively. If both Paul George and Hibbert take the next step however they will be a threat.

I blame coaching for that. Carlesimo is a lifelong C-lister as a coach.
Besides, everyone they got- KG, Pierce, Terry- has heart in spades.
And miles on their legs.
The old dudes got heart without legs, the young dudes got legs without heart. I don't like the mix, especially against the Heat or Pacers or Bulls who all have heart and some legs. (The Heat legs will be a step slower this season)

All they need is competency at the point guard position. They have that in George Hill, and they have a good backup now in CJ Watson.
