Predict this now, ESPN to state "sleepers"

[Rummpd]

Watching Nets and Pistons game on ESPN = they are going to cover the "sleepers in WCF" at half.

G. Anthony one of announcers. Odds on favorites ESPN will state:

1) Sac
2) LAL
3) Denver
4) Clippers - are they really a sleeper?

[Horry For 3!]

I'll probably say Kings but they won't be a sleeper if they stay at the #8 spot and if Spurs stay at the #1 spot

[ABDENOUR POWER]

They'll talk about the Kings.

[Rummpd]

They said 1) Denver; 2) LAL; and 3) Kings

Announcer was all over Kobe as "the difference maker", best player of the game, MVP etc.

My list is same without LAL - a year or two away IMO.

[Horry For 3!]

I hope the Lakers fall to the #8 spot and Spurs stay at #1 spot, so the Spurs can whip the Lakers' ass

[Rummpd]

And hopefully Horry will help ensure that!

[Shaolin-Style]

sac and denver i agree with, clippers were a contender rather than a sleeper imo

[Rummpd]

They did not state the Clippers as I thought they might (agree with your assessment)

[1Parker1]

Nuggets...Melo has been on a tear this season, not to mention I believe he's #1 in making clutch shots this season also.

[yeahone]

everyone seems to be jumping on the nuggets wagon just like last year

[yeahone]

it would be a pleasure to sweep the lakers even though kobe might go for 35 a game

[Rummpd]

Denver will play either the Grizz or the Clippers - both teams that should be able to play with them.
