    The Bucks should have made the playoffs in thew weak East so that makes sense. But The Clips over the Rocks? We didn't make it last year b/c of injuries. We were 45-37 the year before so we have at least shown an ability to play at a playoff level. The Clips are just a .500 team but I guess their the sheek pick.

    the clipps are an odom-wilcox for miller trade away from being a 50 win team.

    the odds are we both make it.

    Yes, if the Clips get Baron Davis, they'll be in the playoffs. That would be the ONE max contract they'll pay, though. Sterling will just re-cycle draft picks. I don't know if he'll land Andre or Baron, he's too stingy.

    I still don't buy that if the Clippers get Davis or Miller they're a lock for the playoffs or a 50 win team. I reservations about that team, especially with their coach. But then again that's a close knit team. I agree with smoothie, I think the Rocks and Clips make it, and I think that two of these three teams miss the playoffs, Utah, Minnesota, Portland, or Seattle.

    What I don't understand is why there was anyone -- even a majority -- that didn't vote for the Bucks. Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, Robinson, Karl all in the Eastern Conference. They screwed up bad to miss it last season; how can they realistically miss it again?
