1. Lakers 2. Hornets 3. Rockets 4. jazz 5. spurs 6. Portland 7. Phoenix 8. Mavs We haven't proven anything yet. All we can say is that we are better than SA because we are younger and more versatile
1. Lakers 2. Rockets 3. Hornets 4. Jazz 5. Spurs (will have home court over Utah) 6. Suns 7. Blazers 8. Mavs We're not better than the Lakers...yet. We have to prove in the season that we are. We did win 55 games without Yao/Tmac in parts of the season and only a few games back of the top seed. Still Lakers lost Bynum and didn't receive Pau till a little later on. And last I heard, they have the MVP. I honestly feel we can get the top seed but we'll need to prove it instead of getting ahead of ourselves.
Deron is not quick, he is just too strong to our PG. So put Artest on him and shut him down. Hayes is good enough to cover Boozer. And actually Boozer was a non-factor this summer without Ron-Ron in our roster.
1. Houston 2. LA 3. NO 4. Jazz (only becasue of the dumb rule) 5. SA 6. Dallas 7. Suns 8. Blazers (if they can stay healthy I think they have a shot) The reason I put Houston over LA is becasue we play better D.
Don't rule out the Clippers for a spot in the West..they made a couple huge additions too in Baron Davis and Camby. Hopefully our new Big 3 will mesh though. I can see us coming out of the WCF over the Lakers but it's a little early for that..
Man I never count the Spurs out. 1. Lakers 2. Spurs 3. Rockets 4. Hornets 5. Jazz 6. Blazers 7. Suns 8. Dallas
