    Also take into account that the clippers have 9 people up for contracts next year.

    This matters because their is going to be ball hogging and no chemistry. Andre Miller can't lead this bunch of misfits and he's up for a new contract also.

    Here's how it goes:

    1. Spurs
    2. Kings
    3. Mavs
    4. Lakers
    5. Portland
    6. Houston
    7. Wolves
    8. Suns


    Seattle barely misses. Clippers and Jazz are not even close. I am putting a dolar on this. Anyone interested?

    I respect people taking the lets wait and see approach. I for one feel that if you give Rudy even a little bit a talent with maybe one or 2 really talented players he can make miracles happen. He's putting his team together and he has more players that can play more than one position. That alone is enough motivation for any coach in the league to get fired up about. We stay healthy we will surprise a lot of people...I see us running and gunning and other teams will not be able to keep up with us. Are second squad is going to be something to watch this year.
    You guys take it easy.

    Even though I hate to say it, I think that Utah has a better chance at making the playoffs than most people think. Yes they are old, but they also play like ********, and always seem to get all the calls they want.

    Anyways, I think that Minnesota will not make it because they are going to be having some problems with their pg position. So I say, switch the suns for the Sonics, put Utah at 8, and kick the Wolves out of there.

    And of course, if the Clippers can pull their talent together, they could easily be placed at number 5.

    wouldn't that be true for any team in the league? it seems the clippers are already hit by the bug. obviously we can't be in the playoff lock category but we're as good and maybe better than minnesota, utah, seattle, phoenix and lac. we have a legit shot at being a 5th seed though i'll predict a 7 spot.

    there r a lot of factors that determine whether or not the rox will make the playoffs.

    if all of the players r healthy, and let's hope so, the rox can make it

    if new injuries hit us then we won't make it...team chemistry is very important to us

    if the rookies r slow to get around then we'll have a hard time..

    if Mo and Rice r still slowly getting in shape prior to their injury....if steve's head still bothers him....

    If Yao or Nachbar r better than ppl give them credit for...

    well I'm optimistic
    :-D
