The Texas all start team vs the rest of the league Parker Tmac Dirk Ducan Yao Bench: Manu Terry Wells Harris Stack Battier vs Nash Kobe KG Amare Shaq I think the all Texas team can beat the rest of league team. The front line is a little thin, but we can rotate 3 bigs and they are the best bigs in NBA right now.

Spurs don't have a center, and Yao is coming into his prime. If McGrady stays healthy, we should be able to (FINALLY) play with them this year. Mavs are a different story. Hopefully Battier can provide sufficient D on Dirk, and maybe constant double teams with Battier and Tracy can be enough to shut him down. Yao > Diop, so we should be able to play with them this year. Mavs >=Rockets>Spurs
I couldn't agree more....IF healthy, I think Rox will be better than the Mavs, but Spurs has much more post season experience, so beating them this year will be a very difficult task
As much as i hate to say it i have to say mavs > spurs > rockets but i do not believe this will be this way throughout the whole season but this is how they are as of right now to me and for the college ball I go with TEXAS > cougs > ags but i will definitely be rootin for UH to get into the big dance
SA > Mavs > Rocks...and I also believe that you have to prove it on the court and not on paper. The Rocks will have plenty of time to prove their game against the super-powers in the West and they HAVE TO PROTECT their home court this year like SA & the MAVS...
It's way too premature to put us ahead of either the Mavs or the Spurs, unfortunately. Even though most of us are very excited about the moves and acquisitions made during the offseason, until we see how they all come together chemistry-wise, not to mention the health aspect, I have to put them third in Texas. But there's hope!
Mavs>Rox>Spurs ... I really feel the Spurs are going to fall this year. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see the Rox finish ahead of the Mavs though if we stay healthy all season, although I think we might hit a rough patch or two of injuries. We just have to hope that it is all together for the playoffs. We can take them without homecourt advantage especially with the choker on their team.

yes definetly Spurs, Mavs, then the Rockets, but they should make it interesting once the players gell
