The 2014-2015 NBA regular season is going to start in less than four hours.  I.  Cannot.  Wait.

While the previous NBA rants were detailed conference previews, this rant is just a summation for who I think will make the playoffs and win it all.  With LeBron James going back to Cleveland and Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose looking to stay healthy to lead their teams, the East may be as wide-open as it has ever been.

As for the West, it will be fascinating to see if the San Antonio Spurs could hold off the Los Angeles Clippers.

So, without further ado…
