This article explores five teams other than the obvious top teams in the league the past couple of years that will be worth a look in NBA 2K13.

The T'Wolves and Warriors are definitely two teams to watch, I wonder how many people will choose these teams in OAs and when going against each other in ranked and unranked matches. I will definitely be hoping to get drafted by either teams when I play MP and they along with the Bobcats will be the teams I use in an offline association as well.

The Nets are the best on that list!

i have been actively playing with the Twolves online in ever since the wolves drafted love. in my sim league the wolves and the wiz are two of the three teams i requested.

that suns team is interesting
 
# 5 Tstrider @ 08/31/12 01:42 PM
I plan on playing with the Warriors a good bit...

The Wizards should be an interesting team. A lot of weapons in the back court, and the ability to build around Wall/Beal.

The Nets might be overrated based on only their strong starting 5. Their bench is worrisome.

Wow, the Brooklyn Nets look solid. With Lopez ans Wallace it's going to be a block party.
 
# 9 sooperb @ 08/31/12 01:55 PM
Wolves look like contenders if Roy is ok. By the way I think Marsh Brooks is a Clipper. I'm not sure though.
 
# 10 Phreezy P @ 08/31/12 01:55 PM
What about Denver? They have solid players all around! Lawson, Iggy, Faried, Javale, Wilson Chandler, Miller, and Gallinari are great talents and the rest of their bench is solid too.
 
# 11 sooperb @ 08/31/12 01:59 PM
Sorry it was Crawford not Brooks.

I can't believe how many people are falling into the "Nets" hype lmaoo.

They won 22 games last season and all they did was add Joe Johnson who is coming off his worst season since his 2nd year in the league. Granted Brook Lopez was hurt but he isn't a game changer, i say they win 30 games with him..
and did you actually see their bench!?!? I knew that moving to Brooklyn would gain interest and the new uniforms and the fact that Jay-Z has a lot to do with the team but C'MON seriously !?!?

Minnesota and Phoenix have a better team according to this list, heck even GS has a shot a a better record than BKN.

I hope you Net "fans" don't put to much faith on that team.

Bucks will be a fun team to watch this upcoming season.. I have the Bucks and Wizards battling out for the 8th spot in the east in my 2012-13 season predictions.

I love Ellis, he is so under rated.. especially to casual NBA fans. Which seem to be the majority now days smh.

Dude you can't seriously believe that?
It's not my opinion, it's fact when looking at both teams on paper.

I know it is too early because they haven't played a game yet but when comparing the nets to any team in the Eastern conference, they fall short to a lot of teams.

They should make the playoffs because D-Will is phenomenal but you have to be realistic.

Just look at their bench compared to the Knicks, Celtics and Pacers.

Knicks________Nets

Kidd.....................Watson
J.R,Smith...........Brooks
R.Brewer............Bogans
Novak.................Teletovic
Camby...............Evans

Knicks clearly win that, even bias Net fans can see that.

Celtics________Nets
Dooling................Watson
Terry......................Brooks
J.Green................Bogans
J.Sullinger............Teletovic
F.Melo..................Evans.

Let's be serious man....

Mahinimi...............Evans.

Their benches are probably compatable but you seen how Indy's starters play. They have better talent than the Nets starters.

The Nets had Eight season ending injuries( I'm NOT exaggerating I will list the players if you doubt me.) and lost over 200 games to injury. The projected starting lineup from last year Wallace,Lopez and Williams have never played together since the trade for Crash.

We were playing with a roster last year, that most of the players are no longer in the league and/or were D-League players playing becaue of injury. Read that again. No. Longer. In. The. League.

The Nets are going to be better, and be in the 4 - 6 range in the east. Possibly 3rd winning the atlantic depending on how it falls with Boston and the Knicks.

Denver will be nice to play with they finally have finisher at the SG position that can run with Lawson in Iggy. Iggy will fit in perfectly with this team because he can set Gallo and other players up and they play a fast paced style.

Nice article.

Really looking forward to the Timberwolves this year. They're Euroleague-West. Even KLove has a very "International" game.

Hadn't thought of the Wizards, but they have definitely brought in a lot of talent recently. It'll be interesting how they gel and if Wall/Beal can live up to their early expectations.

If Lillard is anywhere near as good as he showed in summer league, then the Blazers will be fun as well. Aldridge, Batum and Lillard could be an exciting young core.
