I can't deny that the run and gun Phoenix is fun to watch. Too bad Phoenix's talent level has not matched up with the rest of the elite team this season....

I wasn't being nice. I was stating fact Maryvale man. Go eat some Filibertos.
I accept your apology.
i think it's funny when they consider POR to go deep. they got a deep, hard whooping from a houston team that finally made it passed the 1st round in the yao era. I know that if they hav to play LA or SA, it's gonna be another early ending for their season. I'll even throw DAL and DEN too.
in a few years, though we'll be talking.
Do you mean Portland getting better, or other teams getting older/worse?
I agree with OP and think Orlando will prevail once again in the east. Boston is gonna be dangerous as always, if healthy, but the mileage on their big 3 and Sheed is going to work against them. Cleveland does have a shot too, but only because the old trusty (crooked) refs are back. Lebron is guaranteed to get 10-20 extra free throws per game in the post season with his buddies calling the game. So the cavs don't actually have to be as good as Orlando to beat them, they just need to be almost as good.
In the west after watching Ty Lawson scorch the lakers for 28 I defenitely think he's going to tip the scales in the nuggets favor. He's just the type of point guard that gives the lakers fits. I had been leaning Portland's way, but I think they are going to have issues with newly appointed player/coach Brandon Roy.
Of course if the spurs are healthy this year I give them a legitimate shot and will be rooting for them, but right now the nuggets seem like the best team.
Prediction: 2010 NBA Finals Orlando vs Denver.
I agree with the OP too. Orlando looks fantastic. They'll be my #2 team to rout for this season. They were good last season and even have a better lineup this time around and with any luck, a healthy Nelson going into the playoffs this year. These guys are BIG.

Just give your money to charity...they need it more than Vegas
I agree with the Orlando part, they're not my pick because I'd rather see Boston come out of the East. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Magic make it.I agree with OP and think Orlando will prevail once again in the east.

it's funny how the Magic players say they get no respect. They got no respect last year and they're not gettin' any respect this year. It's really easy to overlook the Magic and I'm not really sure why.
As for the Nuggz, they got a fast little PG in Ty Lawson who tore the Laker PG's a new one. This is the same old story for Lakerfans. Lightning quick PG's like TP, Aaron Brooks, Lawson, CP3 all give Lakers a hard time.
That said, the Nuggets are prone to bonehead moves at important times that preclude them from real contention.
Everyone makes mistakes. You do. I do. We all learn. They too will learn from their mistakes and be a more mature team this year. For most of them getting that far in the playoffs was a brand new experience, with the exception of of the playoff veteran Billups. Speaking of whom, with a year under his belt should be even more effective this year.
I think Anthony as a legitimate shot for MVP this year, in fact I will say it now, Carmelo will be MVP. His numbers so far this pre-season are astronomical, he is scoring at will on teams. Artest is really going to have his hands full trying to contain him, because he is going to be driven with one goal in mind - beat the lakers.
& win that MVP for TJ.
tee, hee.
I see very little chance for the rest of the league this year. Portland is just too dominant.
boston takes the east if theyre not out of gas yet. if theyre anything like the spurs, i wouldnt count them out just based on age. if not, magic comes out on top.
i agree with this but i think the magic, unlike the cavs, have a good chance against a healthy celtics. magic with a healthy nelson is just downright dangerous. i believe they actually improved their starting lineup by adding VC. but i think their downfall in either the conference finals or the finals will be a lack of depth on the perimeter. when you have to depend on a johnson/red backourt bench, then there are some problems. it's a significant downgrade from a potential alston/lee backcourt.
Filibertos is crap... I miss Taco Cabana
TC>>>>Filibertos
It's all too authentic Mexican for me. I need mine processed thru Taco Bell. tee, hee.
Any of that trashy Mexican food is good with me. Carne asade fries = amazing
Those do look tasty. Where do you get those, DUNCAN?Any of that trashy Mexican food is good with me. Carne asade fries = amazing
Any of the 'bertos should have them.
I'd love to see the Magic win the east again, I really like their team. But I think it will be the Celtics.
GO Magic, hopefully Magic make it to the finals at win. Sorry Laker fans, like they team, but want to see Magic win.
And who isn't excited to see Howard and Vince on the same team. I know I'm excited. I'm more excited then I found out the Nets traded them bum Kidd lol
the same bum that took your irrelevant franchise to back-to-back NBA Finals?
I like the magic in the ecf again this year, vince is a big addition to that team.
