    In terms of matching up, we are better than the Hornets and Spurs. Jazz are always questionable. I feel that with Artest, we match up better. I would love to see one of the Jazz elbow Artest in the face.

    Championship teams in the west
    Spurs- one last great run= tim,manu,tony
    Lakers=their frontline is dangerous, best shooting guard in the league
    Rockets= must stay healthy

    Contenders
    Hornets= they got no bench, posey will start come post season
    Jazz= as long as okur thinks he is dirk, they wont go far
    Blazers= coaching, expierance, they will be there just not yet

    Cinderalla teams
    Kings= still need a big man
    Dallas= they will catch some old magic, i smell a trade in the future

    What's the difference between championship team and contender? There can only be one championship team, and until that championship is won they're only a contender.

    Yao vs. Bynum
    Scola vs. Pao
    Artest vs. Odom
    TMac vs. Kobe
    Rafer vs. Fisher
    Rocket. bench vs. Lakers bench

    Looking at these matchups of the Rockets vs. the Lakers , imo, Houston is now better than the best team in the West last year. So they should be at least ranked number 2 behind Boston.
