The West has been a little more exciting than the East so far. The West is lead by former NBA champs, the Los Angeles Lakers and their scoring fiend Kobe Bryant. They have not lost a game so far with a record of 7-0. But on the Lakers tail are the New Orleans Hornets who also have not lost a game, with a record of 6-0. They are trying to get back to the post season and are lead by former All-Star point guard Chris Paul. He will easily average a double-double like the past three years which will give his team even a better chance of getting back to their old ways. The Denver Nuggets whose All-Star player Carmelo Anthony is looking to get moved this year. He tells the media, "It's time for a change." Last but not least for the West, the young and talented Oklahoma City Thunder are still in the races for the playoffs for their second year in a row.

Now for the East, the talented Boston Celtics are having a great season with their young talented, double-double machine, Rajon Rondo. He has been throwing out assist like a mad man all season so far. Another stud point guard in the East is Bulls All-Star Derrick Rose. He has uped his points this year and will try to lead his Bulls team to a better playoff seed than the 8, like last year. With the addition of low post scorer Carlos Boozer the Bulls chances have strength a lot. The Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, and Atlanta Hawks will all be in the top seeds in the East by the end of the year.
