A new year is upon us and the NBA is nearing its halfway mark on the 2013-14 season. With the playoffs just a few short months away, let’s re-examine the odds for each team’s chances of claiming the Larry O’Brien Trophy at the end of the season.
While all the talk this offseason has revolved around the new power alliance down in Miami, the Los Angeles Lakers are still the two-time defending world champions and until a team figures out how to beat them four times in a playoff series, that will remain the case.
It seems like we were just congratulating the Los Angeles Lakers on winning their 15th NBA Title in the history of their franchise, but it is time to start thinking about which teams will be in the thick of things for the upcoming 2009-2010 NBA season.
Here is a look at the top contenders from each conference along with their current odds to win the 2010 NBA Championship from Beted.com.
NBA players travel a lot during the regular season and that doesn’t seem to be changing in the offseason as a lot of players are switching zip codes.
Remember how Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and then-Houston Rocket Ron Artest were giving each other the stink eye during the playoffs?

The long, grueling regular season is over and the NBA playoffs are ready to tip off this Saturday.
Sixteen teams, eight from each conference are all dreaming of bringing home the Title, but only one team will make that dream a reality.
Here is a brief preview of each team along with their odds of winning the 2009 NBA Championship.
