    other than injuries, I don't see how Utah takes a step back. They've upgraded their roster, and their sea of young talented guys will be 1 year older.

    East:
    Bob's Kittens

    West:
    Hornets
    Rockets

    Everyone else I could see being all over the place. E.g., I can see Pistons in the playoffs, they have enough talent, but if Stuckey misses a big chunk of the season they won't win 30 games.

    Yeah I have to agree with Donatas....Utah is too stacked to be a bottom feeder.

    West:
    Suns
    Hornets
    Rox

    East
    Bobcats
    Bucks

    Bobcats are the easy pick but Washington will undoubtedly challenge.

    West: Hornets(if Gordon is injured the majority of the season). If not the Rockets or Blazers.

    East: Bobkittens, or the Wizards.

    Notes- Orlando will not be bad. They are built just like the Rockets of 2010-12. Best team in the East to not make the playoffs.

    Kings and Bobcats. Us, the Warriors, Hornets, and Blazers will be racing toward last in the West, while the Bucks, Orlando, Pistons, and Hawks do the same thing.

    You must be smoking, the Warriors are definitely not bottom feeders and neither are the Blazers.

    Rockets, Kings & Hornets in the West
    Bobcats, Bucks & Magic in the East

    if Warriors have the same health as last season, they are toast. They win under 30 games. if not, they might win 50 games. The hardest team to predict.

    You never know with the Warriors.. They can beat any team on any given night but other nights they are ****... Curious to see how their season ends up as well...

    Both teams are unpredictable. But it's not so much that they're weak so much as the West is stacked.

    I would argue that the Suns, Timberwolves, Jazz, Grizzlies, Clippers, Lakers, Nuggets, Thunder are all better than the Blazers, Warriors, and Hornets.

    If Davis has a good season, the Hornets could surpass the Blazers and Warriors. Similarly, if Alridge or a Warriors player like Curry or Bogut has a good season- then they'll be better.
