Healthy Spurs> Defending Over Hyped Champion Lakers
Mavs over Magic? That is stupid. You are stupid.
True, but wouldn't it be nicer if the defending champion part was on the Spurs side? I think the Lakers would have been beat last year with a healthy Spurs team. It didn't wind up that way though. Until then, give the Lakers their due. Spurs will bust their ass this season.
Lakers-defending champs, but still need a back up pg, need to see if LO stays
Boston-if healthy, they are also proven.
SA- need to see how rookies pan out, see if RJ can play solid D
Cavs-still need somebody to defend the pick and roll
Orlando-Everybody slept on them last season and look what happened
Portland-gained some expirence last season but still have a long way to go
Dallas- like the addition of Marion but still need a solid center
+1...although if Odom leaves.....that makes things a lot tighter.
Very true.
Spurs will still bust their ass this season even with Odumb.
Vince Carter will be a poison this year for them IMO. Mavs will still be a good team. I think Orlando has just gotten worse this offseason.
I'm a Spurs fan too, but I think the Lakers and Celts have to be ranked 1 and 2 out of fairness... the Lakers are the defending champs and the Celts went further in the playoffs missing one star player than the Spurs did in a similar situation. Still, I like the chances for a 5th San Antonio le this season.
Anyone who puts Boston 4th needs to have their head examined. If they don't have massive injuries, they win 65 games minimum this year.
Lakers
Spurs/Boston
Cleveland
Orlando
Denver
Dallas
Portland
..........................does it matter after these teams?
Why are the Wizards on the bottom? They did a nice job this offseason.
You didn't give a single reason behind your choices bossy.
I totally agree with this.
Bulls 1998-1999...
Could you be more of a homer?
True. In fact the Celtics went farther than SA and they were missing a more important player than the Spurs were. KG was more important to Boston than Ginobili was to SA
The Lakers didn't lose their two best players and their coach and most of their role players assface
Washington Wizards ^ 29 spots please... c'mon Agent Zero?
+1
The Lakers marched through a wounded Spurs squad and the Mavericks did the same. Give both teams their props, but if health is not an issue, the Spurs should match up well against just about anyone.
Lakers
Boston
Spurs
Cleveland
Orlando
25 other teams that won't be competing for an NBA le as long as they're playing one of these teams.
