    Not bad. They rank a little bit low in my opinion. The Magic are ranked too high. 5th? They won't even finish in the top 5 in the East.

    Yea, T Mac can't carry the team all by himself and Grant feeling soreness again, probably finish 7th or 8th in the East. Rockets are the team to watch this year!!

    Yeah. Hill's career is basically finished. His ankle won't hold up for long.

    Nah Hill's ankle will be fine, but this is the first time he is playing a ton of minutes on that ankle so soreness is expected. It's going to take months of activity to get his ankle use to NBA action again where he can play serious NBA minutes.

    I doubt it. He is injury prone. He has had 2 or 3 ankle surgueries, right?

    I know the Rockets are good but I didnt realize that they would be ranked that high, pretty cool.

    I really hope everyone can just stay injury free this year. And make a lot of strives team wise. I like how Utah is not on the list, I knew eventually this would happen.:p

    I believe he had to surgeries, He's been out for so long I forgot how he plays.

    He was one hell of a player, but he will never play like that again. Personally I think that he will suffer a major injury in the next couple of months, attempt another comeback, then retire in 3 years. That is just a hunch though.

    The first 3 games this year, hes averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Pretty close to his career numbers. Hes only 30 years old also. Hes going to have to work the kinks out of his ankle as time goes by. I think well see him close to his former self if he can stay healthy from here on out.

    There were 5 top doctors around the country that said his ankle is 100%. He got a MRI and the ankle is fine. The ankle was sore because he hasn't been able to work on it for a few years and he has to get used to taking the NBA pounding. He is playing like the Grant Hill of old which is shocking. Why would you think he would suffer another major injury!?

    If Hill stays healthy, Magics will be the surprise team in the east, putting up those numbers in those 3 games.

    I watched Utah play the Sonics last night. It felt so good because they look horrible. It was a wonderful night watching the Jazz suck ass.

    No playoffs for them. FINALLY!!
