Teams with worse records than Toronto, while missing last year's starting SF (Garbo) and last year's starting PG (also second leading scorer).

Not sure why the Suns are ranked at the top when their record against the top WC teams looks like that of a lottery team.

Goldenstate > Dallas until proven otherwise. Sorry, but you can't ignore a seven game series beatdown. Though, Kidd changes things we just have to see how much.

Ahh yes, of course a 9 win team with the worst record in the league is somehow the 13th best team in the league.

I'm going with yes: Heres my quick list...

1. Spurs
2. Phoenix
3. Boston
4. Dallas
5. Detroit/Lakers

I don't think Detroit is better than Dallas. Every year Detroit looses in the playoffs they can never own up to it. I just don't think they play as good as they think, they have fat cat syndrome. The team is great, but I'm not sure top 5 is a given.

Top 5 is actually harder to asses then previously thought. A lot of great young teams (Hornets and Lakers) in the West can change my ranking with a great playoff runs. Plus, no one knows how good of an addition Kidd and Shaq will be.

Now that I think about it, I hate the Shaq-Marion trade. I would probably put Phoenix 4 and bump Dallas and Boston.

@ Dallas being better than LA. Take it from a Nets fan, when those PGs out west blow past Kidd like a gust of wind, that tune will soon change. Dallas better pray Golden St doesn't come anywhere near them in the playoffs.

Dallas are very weak inside. Kidd can't help them there. Nowitzki/Dampier/Bass will have a hard time guarding Gasol/Bynum or Shaq/Amare.

MrDollarBills · Post #52 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:14 am

Dallas' big men will have a hard enough time picking up Kidd's man when he easily skates into the paint, never mind having to cover the opposing team's bigs!!!

Boston
San Antonio
Phoenix
Detroit
Dallas
Lakers

I think Phoenix, Dallas and the Lakers are about Equal.

I don't think people quite take into account that we just added a freaking HALL OF FAME point guard.

Oh and JES, I hope you'll enjoy having "I AM SS_MAVERICK'S BITCH" as your sig all offseason...

Here I am deleteing a lot of the saved topics....

I just had to LOL at the argument on page 3.
