Im not a Rockets fan, but i think Rockets are too low IMHO . Mavs will have a great regular season and exit in the playoffs Quickly like always. Thunder is def the sexy pick to gain the 2 or 3 spot in the West , gotta love Durantala. Denver will be better George Karl back coaching them again. Portland will depend on their health for success. Spurs gotten older , we shall see how they will respond . Jazz lost some players , but i think they are still a solid team .
OKC is being seriously overrated. They didn't have ANY injuries last year and only got the eighth seed. And all they added this yea with their much ballyhooed capspace was Aldrich, a rookie stiff whose ceiling appears to be Kendrick Perkins, Mo Pete (scrub), and Daequan Cook (scrub). Definitely don't see them being higher than POR or DEN, who were both extremely unfortunate with injuries last season.
Serious question though, why would you have 400 posts on a team board that you aren't even a fan of. I mean, the NBA Dish subforum on clutchfans.net isn't that prolific is it? I've never seen you just hating or anything so it isn't like I mind, just honestly wondering the rationale.
I guess first of all i live in Houston. Even though i am not a Rockets "Fan" , i still wish good luck for them . I am fan of a an Eastern Conference team [Magic]. I mainly hang out in the BBS Hangout area anyways , i like talking to people about random things either important or non - important.
Honestly, I can see the Thunder flaming out this year much like the Hornets after their playoff run a few years ago.
Actually Thunder have a better team than the Hornets did few yrs ago , Thunder are younger and more talented . This team is here to stay and make noise in the future , i just thought they would make more a push for a "Elite" level PF.
