why is Miami mentioned in the west .....??....hate, but be smart about it lol

LakeShow<---the champs
Thunder<---better every year toughest team in west
Spurs<----no bruce bowen not as healthy
jazz<----getting better just always end up getting lakers b4 WCF..lol
Nuggets<----fire power ..only person who thinks is chauncey
Suns<----bumped down three key cats left..need to prove it again
Mavs<---got bumped down cause they let a 70% healthy spurs team beat them with no bruce bowen..when mavs got an upgrade no way they are top contenders
Trailblazers<----needs to prove it to be top ranked...they let us down every year its going to change this year cause ?????

who ever put Portland at top is thinking with gut and heart..good fan !!

[The Franchise]

I'd like to think Yao will win us more than 4 more games than we won last year. The Rockets need to prove it though. They weren't in the mix last year. Out of site, out of mind, or so it appears in this thread.

I actually prefer it that way. It's more satisfying when the other teams don't see it coming.
