The Spurs shouldnt' have much trouble being better than the Nuggets, Rockets and Suns.

Rockets are pretty tough to predict IMO. (Yao, chemistry, development of the young players etc.). could be a big surprise and be in the top 4, could miss the PO as well.

Fair points. If they stay relatively healthy I can see them making the playoffs, but I just can't see them finishing with a better record than a relatively healthy Spurs team.
Going to be real interesting to see what they do with Yao. Brooks, Ariza and Martin all like to get up and down the court and Yao is the polar opposite to that style of play. I'll stop short of saying that the Rockets would be better off without Yao, but I think it's a fair question to ask.

It really isn't a question of talent as to who makes the playoffs, but rather health and bench strength.

That's an almost straight up retarded article. Bleacher Report can do good stuff but that was idiotic.

Pop really can't take 40 games to experiment. He needs to be decisive. Otherwise the other teams are going to leave us in the dust. After 10 games we really need to go full pore. If we are not in the top 4 at All-Star time The Spurs should cash in.

funny thing is everyone is overrating the mavs. they essentially have the same team that got bounce in round 1. Except with older Kidd, Nowitki, Marion and Jet

This is a case of someone (like all the rest) wanting to be the "You heard it here first!" guy and predict the end of the world for the spurs....

Kevin Garnett's 35 and just helped the Celtics go to the Finals last year, I'd venture to say we're not done.

Anyway they will not be a lottery team but definetly not in the top teams in the West. Now with Hill and Splitter, they at least have a future.
