[BCWWF]

The most surprising team in my predictions would be Memphis, but after looking some depth charts today I think they are a pretty solid team. They have a back court consisting of Damon Staudamire and Eddie Jones (two great three point shooters), Bobby Jackson (former sixth man of the year), Shane Battier (great defender), and Mike Miller (overall good swing man).

Then Pau, while no KG or Duncan, is a solid post player, better then average, they also have some guys who aren't great but have good size at center. I think they could surprise some people, the main thing going against them is that they are in a division with Houston and San An.

Fixed it. I liked having Sac messing things up, but they won't beat the Suns. The Kings will still be better then the Lakers because they have Bibby, Shareef, Peja, and Brad Miller, but they are basically just a pushover come playoff time.

[BCWWF]

I think just about everybody in the lottery (and a few more) have a good shot at being pretty good, but they could also be little impact as well. With Danny Granger, you just know he is going to be solid, not a superstar but he will fit in. I could see him being ROY, because I don't think Bogut, Paul, Felton, and the other guys are going to be great right off the bat.

Then let me say... BLAZERS ALL THE WAY!!











Yeah right, like that'll EVER happen.

Sure it will. When they come out of the locker room , not high.

[RP]

The great thing about the Blazers is that you cant honestly say atleast one person on that team isnt high when they play a regular season game. If someone told me my life depended on the Portland Trailblazers sobriety, I would grab the gun and go ahead and kill myself.

[RP]

Whats a nigga name RASHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED WALLACE!

[loopydate]

Yeah, no way in hell it turns out this way, but I figure "What the hell? Why not give it a shot." Western Conference is crazy strong this year, and I think, believe it or not, there's an outside chance that the Spurs may not even make the playoffs if they suffer even one key injury.

Rectal, the "Jail Blazers" have been dispanded. Sheed is on Detroit, Bonzi on Sacramento, Damon on Memphis.

Besides Darius Miles I don't think people on their team have had problems in the past.

[mrslackalack]

I think GS will shock people this year.

[CSL]

Williams and Boozer are gonna take over. Utah bitches

[ddpBANG]

The Blazers will always have problems.

Take the Qyntel Woods situation, for example. And how about Zach Randolph gaining tons of weight over the summer.

Don't even get me started on Miles. I could completely destroy the Blazers creditability and not even mention Miles. Mentioning Miles would destroy it, kill it, ressurect it and then kill it again.

[BCWWF]

I would much rather have Randolph then Wallace and Miles is no worse then Bonzi attitude wise. You'd have to go to China to find a basketball team without some attitude problem. The Blazers simply aren't nearly as bad as they used to be.

[BCWWF]

If Ndudi Ebi can't be designated for assignment then the new CBA isn't complete yet. I'm not just saying that because he is on the Wolves, because I didn't like taking him to begin with and I don't like the Wolves chances anyway, but you should be able to designate a player after two years as well, maybe to Europe or Austrailia instead of the D-League, but somewhere.

No just a quick trip to Utah.

[loopydate]

Or Detroit. And if anyone says Rasheed Wallace, I'll know they haven't watched basketball in the last two years.

[RP]

Ben Wallace. I mean he started the worst brawl in sports history.

[BCWWF]

Utah has Carlos Boozer and Kris Humphreys

[Ninti the Mad]

I really dont see age playing a factor in San Antonio, loopy. They are still in their prime and have a deep bench to keep minutes off the older/more fatiued players to keep them fresher longer.

And they had injuries last year.

Hell, Duncan played the entire playoffs with two sprained ankles.

Nov. 1 cant come soon enough.

[MoRcHeEbA]

I went to th e Raptors game the other night they had in winnipeg against portland and Toronto is terrible. LAST PLACE HERE THEY COME. Is there any good people gonna be able to be drafted number 1 next year?

[The Miz]

JJ Redick! He's unathletic, awful defensively, and an incredibly streaky shooter, but he can sure knock down the freee ones!

[MoRcHeEbA]

sounds like the raptors type of player.

[RP]

Greg Oden. You hope.

[BCWWF]

Reddick probably won't even be a lottery pick, but he did get considerably better last season. I think Rudy Gay is the top prospect right now, and he would actually fit in Toronto pretty well.

[BCWWF]

Milwaukee is suddenly looking to be a playoff team. T.J., Redd, Simmons, Magliore, and Bogut. Then you have Joe Smith, Gadzuric, I forget who the guards off the bench are, but they are definately a team to be reckoned with.

[The Outlaw]

They still have Desmond?

[DaveWadding]

They still have Desmond?

they traded him and a 1st rder to NO/OKC to get Magloire

[The Outlaw]

Not a bad trade I don't guess.

[mrslackalack]

I think the raptors will be the worst team in the NBA this year. However I like that they r rebuliding and Bosh is turning into a superstar.

[BCWWF]

Desmond Mason was traded to New Orleans for Jamal Magliore a couple days ago

[Kid Robb]

The ONLY prediction I will make this year is this:

Stephon Marbury will NOT figure in the playoffs.

It's the one sure thing you can count on in the NBA.

[BCWWF]

If the Knicks don't go making trades for Darius Miles they should be a playoff team I'd think.

[RP]

Stephon Marbury needs a coach that can tame him. If Larry Brown can tame Stephon. Knicks will make the playoffs and be a future contender. Marbury has a load of talent and i'm not talking about Joe Smith , Michael Olawakandi loads of talent. I'm talking about Isaih Thomas, Allen Iverson loads of talent.

[CNM]

The Knicks a future contender? LOL

[loopydate]

Stephon Marbury needs a coach that can tame him. If Larry Brown can tame Stephon. Knicks will make the playoffs and be a future contender. Marbury has a load of talent and i'm not talking about Joe Smith , Michael Olawakandi loads of talent. I'm talking about Isaih Thomas, Allen Iverson loads of talent.

And how many NBA Championships has Iverson won?

Marbury is a notch or two below Isiah Thomas, but you gotta remember that Isiah was surrounded by players like Joe Dumars and a pre-freak-out Dennis Rodman. Maybe if Marbury got that kind of talent around him he could win a championship, but I think the last couple of years have shown you need more than one star to win a championship.

[BCWWF]

The thing about Marbury is that he is selfish. He left Minnesota because he didn't want to share the stage with Kevin Garnett and Tom Gugiliata. If Brown can make him into a smart passing point guard, which is his specialty, then the Knicks do have a chance at being pretty good. All of their moves are starting to work out now, with a couple good shooters on the sides and Eddy Curry now down low. They may make the playoffs.

[mrslackalack]

If Larry Brown can make the Clippers win, he can make the Knicks win. If Brown can turn Marbury from selfish to a team player like the style of Billups, it would benefit the Knicks greatly.

[Kid Robb]

Yeah Marbury's problem is his selfishness. The team he couldn't do shit with in NJ went to the finals with J.Kidd (a real point guard, pass first shoot second).

He and Brown won't see eye to eye. Brown and Iverson never did, how the hell will he and Marbury? They're very similar players.

?

[mrslackalack]

I am interested to see how Phil Jackson does in his first major coaching test in the NBA.

[packt up]

No way are Lakers going to be second worst team in the league. Spurs all the way though.

[mrslackalack]

Yeah really who else but the Spurs? Detroit but can they w/o Brown? Miami will prolly clash, PHX won't have the weapons they had last year. I am projecting Spurs over Pacers in 6 in the finals.
