So now that the All-Star Break is over, it's time to ask a question for every team for the second half. Will the blockbuster trades push some teams to the top? Who's going to be this year's worst team? (Do you even care?) 

Let's take a preview of what to look for in the second half of the season. The questions are given in the order of best-to-worst overall records.

 
1. Boston Celtics (41-9)

With the “Big Three” playing heavy minutes, will they be healthy for the playoffs?

2. Detroit Pistons (39-13)

Are we going to see the red-hot Pistons burnout…again?

3. New Orleans Hornets (36-15)

Can the Hornets overcome inexperience and make a buzz in the playoffs?

4. Phoenix Suns (37-16)

Can Shaq regain some of his former self and power the Suns in the playoffs?

5. Los Angeles Lakers (35-17)

If the Lakers are completely healthy by playoff time, will the starting line-up feature Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum?

6. San Antonio Spurs (34-17)

Are the Spurs prepared to make another strong second-half run again? 

7. Dallas Mavericks (35-18)

Can Jason Kidd really make everyone better and help the Mavs make another run at a championship?

8. Utah Jazz (34-19)

Can the Jazz’s balance help overcome quicker or stronger teams in the West?

9. Golden State Warriors (32-20)

Will Don Nelson’s run-and-gun offense run past the bigger and more physical teams?

10. Houston Rockets (32-20)

Can Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady stay healthy and continue their hot play in the second half?

11. Denver Nuggets (32-20)

Are the Nuggets wondering how they are still ninth in the west standings?

12. Orlando Magic (33-21)

Does Hedo Turkoglu feel snubbed after David Stern picked Rasheed Wallace as a reserve?

13. Cleveland Cavaliers (29-23)

Will the supporting cast give more help to Lebron James who has powered the Cavaliers in the last two playoffs?
