Oh and GSW... just don't see it... we were just as good as them last season, and we improved a LOT more. Dwight Howard >>> Andre Iguodala. Plus younger players who will improve more from experience.
It's hard to say how good the Rockets will be, too many question marks, such as team chemistry, fit Howard into the system, etc. But talent wise, only Miami, OKC, and the Clippers are better. The Knicks will have a hard time to make the playoff. The Nets and the Spurs are on the way down due to their aged legs. The Pacers are just overrated, as always. The Warriors, they always find a way to beat themselves. The Heats and OKC have been together, and they have talent. The Clippers have talent, but not discipline before. Now withe Rivers, they should play under control, will challenge OKC for the West this season.
