Teams right now that are better than the mavs..

Dude the Blazers will be pushing your beloved Lakers for the top spot in the West! What you don't realize is just how freaking dominant Oden is. As long as he is healthy we will be challenging for the le.

Dude Oden hasn't done in the NBA! He hasn't even played a single game. How in the is he dominant? He has talent but his dominance is yet to be proven.

At least 8 since they will not make the playoffs tis year!

but the spurs 7/8?

Manu is hurt and might need surgery. He won't be Manu until after All-Star break.

Shooting guard is a very big issue with the Spurs now, so is backup at point guard.

Bench is even weaker then last year.

Unless the FO does something, I think the Spurs are going to start out very slow this year and have only a mediocre record at All-Star.

1. Lakers
2. Rockets
3. Jazz
