 The Thunder will look to drastically improve upon their 08-09 season in which they went 23-59 but fared much better as a team when Scott Brooks took over as head coach for P.J Carlisemo on 11/22/08. Kevin Durant thrived under Coach Brooks along with Russell Westbrook who was able to run a quicker paced offense and create plays on his own rather than sticking to a set playbook.

| LA Lakers (09-10) Team Preview |
 The Defending World Champions will look to repeat last year’s success with a returning core of Bryant, Odom, Gasol and newly acquired Ron Artest. The biggest question marks surrounding the team this season are not if they can repeat but how are they going to keep Ron Artest in check for a full season?
