It might be VERY close....
But I don't see them up there..
Do you guys think they will make the playoffs this year?? No doubt they will be fun to watch with B.Davis and Richardson, I could see them getting the 6th spot in the west this year.

If Baron Davis can ever stay healthy, then they have a chance but the West is still very deep.
They certainly finished on a high note last year after they got Davis. They won 18 of their last 28 games, beating amongst others, Seattle, Houston, Phoenix and LAL, so I can see them in the running. As Kori says, the caveat as always, can Davis stay healthy?
I still think the West is too deep. There's just no room.
If Golden State makes the playoffs, who do they bump? Memphis won't make the Playoffs, and you have to figure Minnesota and the Lakers will be competetive again. There will be one or two decent western conference teams that don't make it.
The Jazz are my dark horse pick to sneak in to the 8th spot.
I'm thinking the Kings will miss out on the playoffs this year, and possibly the mavs. The west is really not as dominate as it used to be, right now its only the Spurs and Suns... and who knows how good the suns will be next year without JJohnson
you don't think the Kings wil make the playoffs with such a good starting 5 and a good bench to draw from?
Warriors will have a chance to make the playoffs but not sure they will this year.
, I've also thought of Jazz to be a sleeper... if Boozer and AK47 stay healthy.
Spurs
Suns
Nuggets
Rockets
Sonics

I dont see a team led by mike bibby being better than alot of those teams I listed
The Kings have essentially the same team they had last year with the addition of SAR and Jason Hart. Francisco Garcia is a heck of a shooter, too. That may not be enough, but I'm curious: since when has Mike Bibby not been a good player, a winner or a leader?
I dont know the West is really really deep especially with the way the Rockets were playing last year and the Nuggets, i think they have a good chance of sneaking in if BDavis stays healthy thats a big if...it will certainly be fun to watch though
I am willing to bet that the Warriors will have a better record than the Fakers this upcomig season.
The bet is on...my entire Vbookie accout by season end....I am willing to bet that the Warriors will have a better record than the Fakers this upcomig season.
You got that right. The West is as competetive as I can remember.
Well, for second place, it's competetive.![]()
First of all, I think SAR is way overrated. Last year the last 3 months the kings were barely .500, and I think too many teams in the west got better. I think the kings can get the 7th or 8th seed. I'm just predicting they wont make it this year.
I didn't mean for that to sound like I didn't think bibby was a good player, I meant he's not good enough to be the star of the team.
I'll buy that, but many forget how long he carried Peja and Webber while they got all the credit.
That weak-ass soft performance they gave against the Sonics in the playoffs doesn't do anything to make me think you are wrong. Surely Peja will get his game back in gear now that he isn't bellyaching about wanting to be traded.
He plays for Memphis now, which is one reason I'm reluctant to count the Grizzlies out in the West.
