If you consider losing in the first round to winning the championship to be a big jump it will be the Blazers.
Which team do you guys think will surprise everyone? I'm talking about teams that were in a low seed like 7-8 or not in the playoffs last year.
Two years ago it was the Hornets. Last year, you can argue the Blazers. Who is it going to be if any this year? My pick would be the Toronto Raptors. I think Chris Bosh, Hedo, and Calderon will lead the team for 48 wins. And I kinda think that Demar Derozan can be something special if given the minutes.

If you consider going from 23 wins to 30 a big jump, then the Zombie Sonics.
All talk no walk.
The Thunder
Give the Thunder a couple of years, not ready yet
Good choices, but do you guys see any team that was not in the playoffs last year make it this year?
Phoenix as the 8 seed
I would say Toronto or Washington. Both could win 45+ games.
How's come, Fin? Seriously, I ain't out to bust yer snuts.
I think Houston drops out of the playoffs w/o Yao. Somebody has to replace them.
GSW and LAC are also cadidates for the 8th seed IMHO, and I'd rather pick either of them over the faded suns.
Clippas in the West, Wiz in the East
I would say Memphis, but any team Iverson is on but he's gonna drag the ship down, no matter how many good young pieces they may have.
The Clip Show
All right but the last word.
Spurs.
West - Clippers
East - Raptors
Aren't the Clippers the sexy pick every preseason and something ends up happening?
They didn't play hard for their coach last year. Griffin will beast though.
How do you manage to slip on the same banana peel twice?
I can't count how many seasons I've expected these two teams to be sick, and them coming back and making me look stupid.
Clippers are like the Raiders of the NBA. Analyst and people always pick them as a team that could do something in the off-season. The season starts and they still suck. That said, I'll go with the Clippers.
exactly. Last seasons clippers have ot be the WORST team ever. No lie. Take a look at their roster, close to championship calibur, and take a look at their record.
It is embarrassing.
I am pretty worried about the thunder though, so far in preseason they have been getting killed by 3s. Houston, SA and Kings all shot like 50% against them
Its wierd to say cuz their already the best but the Lakes are actualy going to be even better this year.
