With the preseason now over what are everyones predictions. My pick for the Rocks may be high but I'm going on a likely best case scenario. If they don't finish at #6 or even in the playoffs its cool, this team is still light years ahead of where they should be.

lets see West - No anaylisis 1.Blazers 2.Lakers 3.Spurs 4.Jazz 5.Suns 6.Sonics 7.Kings 8.Rockets ------------------------------------------ 9.Wolves Eastern Conference 1.Magic : looked awesome in preseason , T-Mac and Grant look like a lock for best tandem 2.Knicks : If Camby can step up , Longley won't have to do much 3.Pacers : Losing Smits hurts Jalen Rose and Reggie Miller will need to lead this team 4.76ers : Iverson has a supporting cast now , a cast can be a fake though just ask Anna-Nicole. 5.Heat : Losing Zo makes the Center position in the East no-existant , Eddie Jones can step up , but will he ? 6.Raptors : They lost Christie and McGrady for Corliss Williamson which really doesn't help them much , Carter will have to carry this team , he will . 7.Bucks : They will be disapointed but they could beat the Knicks in the Playoffs 8.Hornets : This team had depth but no good starters , they could suprise though , they will fight the Celtics for the last spot ----------------------------------------- ------------------ This signature space for rent call 555 ...

RocketMan95- I guarantee you that the Raptors will be one of the weakest teams in the league. I know for a fact they wont be top 5 in the east. Most I give them is 6th best, but thats it. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be.

I agree, all of the games that Vince won last season with a lucky shot won't be there. They'll squeak into the playoffs and have another early exit. ------------------ please venture to atheistalliance and rocketsonline I AM SPARTACUS Bush and Gore make me want to Ralph votenader.com [This message has been edited by DEANBCURTIS (edited October 31, 2000).]
That is a possibility but I'm still predicting them to have a 6-8 seed season. If the Raptors exceed my expectations then you called me on it. ------------------ please venture to atheistalliance and rocketsonline I AM SPARTACUS Bush and Gore make me want to Ralph votenader.com
Don't get me wrong Dean.....I don't care much for the Raptors, but I think with the players they have, and a proven leader, that team will gel. We'll see. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." [This message has been edited by HOOP-T (edited October 31, 2000).]
I forgot about the Raptors getting Jackson. I don't think losing McGrady will affect them at all, especially with this addition. ------------------ When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of yourself and umption. visit www.swirve.com
