Same here. The thread tile says "Rank the west today". Has Yao even stepped foot on the court? A lot of guys putting us up there and we haven't seen Yao in action. I'm hoping since the Rockets haven't made any desperate moves for a center means Yao is good to go...but for how long?
1)Lakers(defending champs, stacked) 2)Mavs(stacked, Chandler will be just as effective with Kidd as he was with Paul, they will get knocked out of the first or 2nd round again though.) 3) Nuggets(Carmelo is back, no change) 4)Thunder(This team is making leaps in improvement from month to month. Scotty Brooks has surprised me as a coach.) 5) Rockets(Rockets never seem to get past the 5th spot for home court advantage) 6) Suns(Loss of Stoudemire hurts, but Nash was always the leader.) 7) Portland(Until Oden loses some bulk, he's just going to end up with another season ending injury.) 8) Spurs(older, weaker, not as effective, but they are a fighter) Hornets 9) Hornets(Chris Paul is back.) 10) Kings(Cousins, Tyreke Evans, Carl Landry with a full camp) 11) Clippers(Crappy management, poor health) 12) Jazz(Al Jefferson or "Kneeless J" is a negative. They will miss Boozer.) 13) Grizzlies(Thabeet should be in the rotation this year. It will strengthen their defense. Marc Gasol continues to improve) 14) Warriors(Curry is not enough. Nelson doesn't coach D) 15) Wolves(Poor management with a PG fetish. no direction. no offense, no defense, players are actually excited, if they hear their name in trade rumors!)
You guys just don't understand. I do see where you are coming from tho. However, a wise man once said: Without the dream, no one thought we'd survive. For too long, we've been deprived. But the final piece of the puzzle has arrived. THE MISSING LINK TO A CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVE!
