While everyone talks about the Clippers and Lakers, I think many are sleeping on Houston. I think the Clippers come out of the West, but Houston will likely finish a Top-2 seed and probably face the Clips in the WCF IMO
Remember, who stopped a fantastic Houston team all these previous years from making the Finals? The Spurs once when they still had their main guys (+ Leonard), and the Warriors when they had the Big-4. Neither exist anymore, and they upgraded from CP3 to Westbrook. I don't think LAL has an answer for the Rockets superstars. Is Lebron supposed to be defending Harden? Will Rondo, KCP and Kuzma defend well against those guys? (lol)
