Ranking the Western Conference

[joe.linnen]

If I'm wrong please put me in my place.

1. Los Angeles Lakers-Bynum is back and Gasol and Ariza get a full season with the Lakers
2.New Orleans Hornets-Adding James Posey. CP3, West and Chandler should all be better than before.
3.San Antonio Spurs-its and odd year, they got some what younger, and Manu is is healthy
4.Houston Rockets- adding Artest will only help
5.Utah Jazz-still better than the Mavericks and Suns
6.Phoenix Suns-will Shaq play the whole year
7.Dallas Mavericks-wrong coach fot this team, with Kidd in Dallas they shouldn't play a half-court offence
8.Portland TrailBlazers-really young team, but showed a lot of upside. I'm not banking on Oden at all. Hell the guy hasn't played a minute in the NBA, ut yet people are ranking him better that other center that are or already has proved temselves
9.Los Angeles Clippers-I like the new look and with a lot of vets they will contend for the last 2 spots
10.Golden State Warriors-I like the look but they won't makt he playoffs this year unlest they really pull something out of their asses
11.Denver Nuggets-giving Camby away, the only play who seem to care to play defence didn't help in no way at all
12.Memphis Grizzles-a very young team and should be very fun to watch. Gasol, Warrick, Gay, Mayo, and Conley will be a nice core if they stay together
13.Sacramento Kings-trading Artest will help in a long run, but not now. still a very good team tho.
14.Minnesota Timberwolves-Jefferson and Love should be fun to watch.
15.Oklahoma City-Waston, Durant, Wilcox, and Collison will be fun to watch...I guess

1. Laker show - most weapons, proved they could do it last year.
2. Spurs - I think they will win more games, I just trust em more that New Orleans.
3. Hornets - Great young team.
4. Rockets - Will be better, dont see it effecting their seed though.
5. Jazz - Love Deron, solid team, need to improve post D before they become elite.
6. Portland - They have lots of depth, great role players, and with oden will likely have a top D in the league.
7. Mavs - I think they are better this year than last, despite same seed.
8. Suns - They are old, terrible defensively, and kerr is poisoning them.

9. Warriors
10. Nuggets
11. Clippers
12. Minnesota
13. Kings
14. OKC
15. Memphis
