My playoff picks (in order of record, not seed): 1). LA Lakers 2). Portland 3). San Antonio (with Duncan) 4). Phoenix 5). Utah 6). Seattle 7). Minnesota 8). Dallas ____________________ 9). Sacramento 10). Houston 11). Vancouver 12). LA Clippers 13). Denver 14). Golden St. Without Duncan, San Antonio moves to # 10, and everyone moves up one spot. ------------------
Dallas a no.2 seed?!?! some people are smokin serious crack here! Dallas will most probably make the playoffs as an 8th seed or at most a 7th. after all, it's Nellie's team we're talking about here! ------------------ Ostertag for Three!!!!!
Sacremento not macking the playoffs? Man some of you have been to one to many RAVES Seattle will not be a player this year [esp if payton bolts] I SAY HOUSTON WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!! Rocket River I just FEEL it 'He's starting to believe' - morpheous from THE MATRIX ------------------
Dallas made vast improvements in the draft. BUT, where they really lacked was in defense and rebounding. They were one of the top 3 SCORING teams in the league last year. So, they added some good rookies....Etan (good rebounder), Najera (defense, hustle, rebounding), Harvey (a dirty player, but a good one) and Alexander will give them some offense. I think Dallas gets a B+ for their draft and I am so surprised....Nellie making sound decisions???? Anyway, I have to say they will not come close to winning the West or even being a frontrunner. They still need a center and they got rid of Rooks. Bradley is the weak, overpaid link. But I do see them making a run at the playoffs this year. They were close last year. ------------------ HOOP-T ------------------
