I am just going to grade the teams that have some chance to make some noise come May....because I do have a life, you know....and Kori does not pay me to do this stuff.
1. Suns 41-12 A+ Best starting 5 in the NBA.The bench improved. co-favs to win it all. MVP favorite, Nash is on fire lately with at least 12 assists in last 11 games.
2. Spurs 41-12 A+ Best player, best coach, best defense, best homecourt, best bench. co-favs to win it all.
3. SuperSonics 35-15 A Biggest surprise of the year, nobody in here picked this team to make playoffs, much less win division. Great shooting team from every position on the floor, defense is a question mark.
4. Heat 40-14 A Most dominant player, a star in the making. Questionable record against the West, but Sunday's win over SA was a huge confidence builder.
5. Mavericks 34-16 A- Great offense, improved defense, home record not what it has been in previous years, but great road team.
6. Rockets 32-21 B+ Late bloomers, hottest team the last month (15-4 since Jan. 7) Have a tough schedual down the home stretch though, that will test them.
7. Pistons 32-19 B+ Also late starters, could match last year's finishing kick and catch Miami. They are still the champs, so are dangerous team and need to be respected.
8 Bulls 26-23 B+ Don't laugh. This is my Dark horse team to make some noise in the playoffs. Horrible start on the season, (0-9) Top defensive team in the East, they have a great coach, young players and are hungry. They have beaten big time teams and do not appear to be sliding backwards.
9. Kings 33-20 B Injury problems again have caused some problems, but still a dangerous team at home.
10. Grizzlies 30-23 B Coach Fratello is doing a fine job since he took over the team. Have missed Gasol, but once he is back, this team can really make a good finishing kick to make playoffs as a top 5 seed.
11 (10) Cavaliers B 30-20 Biggest cash cow for the NBA...must see tv in Lebron James, who could win MVP.
12. Wizards 30-20 B- Slumping lately, need Hughes to get healthy to have a chance to win any series. But they have been one of the biggest surprises, a pleasant one I might add, this year.
13. Lakers 26-24 B- this team has surprised me with their grit. kudos to them for having a winning record.
Well, let me give out some Failing grades too.
Pacers F
T-Wolves F

"1. Suns 41-12 A+ Best starting 5 in the NBA."
1. suns best OFFENSIVE starting 5.
" 2. Spurs 41-12 A+ Best player, best coach, best homecourt, best bench."
best defense (how can you forget the basis of The Spurs Way?)
Best player, best coach, best homecourt, best bench
Whoa.
Best coach????
Gracias.... :cool
Oh wait, this is from Jim, nevermind, I thought it was someone reputable.

It don't get more reputable than me, man.
Ohhh yeah it does.
I have more respect for Whottt's opinion than yours.
aggiehoopsfan is Red Auerbach combared to you.
You are just jealous of my movie star good looks and my charm that I have with the ladies.![]()

Uh huh.
I am NOT jealous of your Brad Pitt man love though.
Well, it is just when I see Brad, I see myself and I do love myself.
Seriously, what about the grades I gave, any objections or additions?
Suns = co-favorites = please!!!!
They are the most likely to fade out in playoffs. 31 and 4 to 41 and 13 in the flash of an eye.
5. Mavericks 34-16 A- Great offense, improved defense, home record not what it has been in previous years, but great road team.![]()
Dude, they have 2nd best record, they have pretty much guaranteed themselves the 2nd seed, they will probably be playing in the WCFs...hence, co-favs to win it all.
Fairly decent list, although the Spurs now have the best record again since you originally posted this.
(Jim's quote edited for appropriateness)
Ha ha ....you are killing me man.
