[Sportcamper]

2. Nobody…
3. New York… Brooklyn



West
1. OKC
2.Nobody
3. LA Lakers… San Antonio… Clippers

[tlongII]

The Blazers will be much better than any of you morons are predicting.

[TIMMYtoZO]

1.) Miami- dynasty on the rise



2./3.) OKC/LA. This is a tossup because LA could have easily had a 3-1 series lead on OKC last year, and they did upgrade with Howard and Nash (Despite being 39, he is better than any other pg they had). OKC has done NOTHING to improve their roster. They have no scoring bigman. Harden is a worthless piece of if he isn't bulldozing his way to the ft line. His D is awful and he doesn't have much athleticism. Ibaka is a terrible man to man defender. These 2 teams will meet in the WCF and it will go 7.

4.) Boston- ECF bound again

5-30.)

Nice, partially biased post. Can't say I disagree, although I believe the Lakers have the most balanced starting 5 in the league. In the playoffs the starters' minutes goes up and rotations are shortened. The issue with us is will MB run his starters into the ground during the RS. I hope not...

[Venti Quattro]

Go arrange LA, OKC, Miami from 1-3 in any way you like.

Hey did the Dwight Howard trade suddenly raise you up from bottom of the barrel tier of posters cuz I haven't noticed actually.

Nah, either way, the Lakers were going to be great. Nash, Kobe, Pau, and Bynum would have wreaked shop tbh. The funny part? Cuban has ed with the Lakers many times by signing players that would have gone to the Lakers. Funny how the tide has turned as he wanted Nash and D12 and they both suit up for... the Lakers!

[dirk4mvp]

Nah

okay

[LkrFan]

You're a good dude dirk4mvp. Best of luck to the Mavs.

Dem Mavs missing the playoffs, cubes engaging tank mode.

[Lincoln]

mavs missing the playoffs even tho their roster is a lot better than last years

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not basing it on Rayjay's list, since he's a homer Nuggets fan, but they are the most overrated team in the NBA IMO..

Teams like the Nuggets are never contenders..

Lakers
OKC

Spurs
Mavs

of course i'm a nuggets homer fan (even though I'm nowhere near CO), what do you expect?

[rayjayjohnson]

mavs missing the playoffs even tho their roster is a lot better than last years

and they sucked last year too

[DeadlyDynasty]

I look at the Nuggets roster and want to be a believer, but the fact is this is a superstar's league and they have no transcendant players. The 2004 Pistons are the only team I can remember to pull off that feat (in my lifetime)

It's a tossup between the Knicks and Nets. I agree that the past few years the Nuggets have been amongst the most overrated, but this might be their best team of the past decade - as a regular season team. As a playoff team, as always, they're going nowhere. The only chance they'd have of even winning a round is if they can get fifth and get the Clippers.

Realistically their best team was 2009. If they had mastered the art of the inbound pass then they could've gone on to face Orlando in the Final.
