2nd in th Paciic is not out of the question just out last the Suns. If Amare isn't 100% it's all in our favor

I think Clipps can get anywhere from 6-8, 6 being extremely opptomistic, best case scenario would be Bdavis plays like the one from GS days, Gordon continues to improve, Griffin puts up like 18/8, no injuries....still have to contend with Hou, GSW if worse comes to worse I dont see any top 6 from last year falling

Lakers
Den
SA
Dall
Port

anything after that is wide open..Uta/NOH are not locks IMO, they have alot of injury year after year.

Never underestimate the strength of knowledge.

Bring back the physical game and send the softies home.

I think Clippers are pretenders like always right now...


NOH are pretenders too just look @ what happened last season.


But they made the playoffs with almost 60% W and they have Chris Paul that is no pretender.

Mavs fan, every year I really like your roster and every year they disappoint. If Baron is onboard and playing for a playoff spot (while staying healthy) by the all star break, you guys should make the playoffs and I'm thinking will be a tough out.

I do agree with those who said health and coaching will most likely be the key.

NOH looked like a lottery team in the postseason(no heart/no passion). They never were in the hunt for a 'ship and CP3 never was brought up in the MVP convo again.

Pretender just like the Mavs in 07.
