I actually get the feeling that the Bobcats will win the West this year in an unexpected turn of events.

Only if they get Jordan in there in his wheelchair.

Very excited, even the pre-season has been fun, been watching the Lakers and Clippers...

Lakers r looking good, particularly good with D12, great game... They lost all pre-season games so far, but I think they r looking good, thought the Clips would look a bit better by now, but its just pre-season...

Anyway, cant wait, West looking awesome as usual, East looking like shit as usual lol... Miami way better, Celtics are always competitive, Pacers, Knicks and Nets should be fun and the Bulls will be dominant as long as D Rose comes back healthy, not sure yet, he keeps getting hurt, its too bad, one of my fav player no doubt...

Who? What?

Huh?

the cat sayin praise the lord is talking about the Bobcats winning the west out of a whole bunch of crazy events :p


The cat is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be nice to see Bobcats enter the playoffs........but unlikely, still, Jordan just needs to quit managing a team....which brings me to this question,


How would Jordan do in BB? ;)

Way better then you!

Way better then you!

Mr. controversial.

Right now this is my prediction as for standings:

West-
1. Los Angeles Lakers
2. Oklahoma City Thunder
3. Denver Nuggets
4. San Antonio
5. Memphis Grizzlies
6. Utah Jazz
7. Los Angeles Clippers
8. Golden State

East-
1. Miami Heat
2. Atlanta Hawks
3. New York Knicks
4. Chicago Bulls
5. Boston Celtics
6. Philadelphia 76ers
7. Indiana Pacers
8. Milwaukee Bucks

I know its all predictions, but lets see

West
- Lakers going #1 after losing all preseason games? Perhaps, since its only preseason, but they r old, don't think they'll go all out til POs
- Nuggets at #3? Above the Spurs? I dunno about that, think they'll be on POs 4sho, but much lower
- Griz and Jazz above the Clippers? Clippers at #7? Way underselling them, think they'll be one of the best teams of the West, deep team
- Warriors making it to the POs? I doubt it, even though I love them, the team's still pretty bad

East
- Hawks at #2? Highly doubt it, even though the team is good
- Knicks could be #3, but I still think they won't be too dominat, prolly more like #4-5
- Hard to guess Bulls' position, it all depends on when D Rose comes back, if it's feb or so like they said, they could be even lower
- I think the Celtics, 76ers and even Pacers and Bucks will finish a bit higher. Think the Celtics will be top 3 as long as D Rose is out

The preseason doesn't mean much except how good your bench may be in my opinion. And the Lakers will dominate this season regardless of their age.

The Nuggets are a much better team than the spurs this season, especially since the Spurs have weak bigmen (Excluding Duncan ofcourse) They cannot compete with LAL, MEM, DEN, MIN, LAC and many other teams. Plus they are old too. the only way that they will get a 3rd seed or higher is if the referees are cheating for them for most of their games. Denver has an Allstar worthy PG and SG in Lawson and Igoudala, an amazing bench and four 7 footers on their team for big men. I would not be surprised at all to see Denver have a better record tan SAS.

Memphis beat LAC last year.... they were the 4th seed and LAC was the 5th seed... I don't see why it wouldn't happen again this year. Memphis will finally have Randolph healthy so they will have their bigmen back to beasting and LAC has gotten worse this year due to Billups coming off injury and Mo Williams leaving. Speaking of Mo Williams, he is now on the Jazz who have a good team this year and are very explosive. I'm not sure if they will beat out LAC for the 6th seed but i think that they will be just about as productive as them.

As for Golden State, They are my Wildcard. I couldn't find another team that i felt would definitely make the playoffs and since GS actually has a quality center this year in Andrew Bogut i look for them to do good things. We'll have to see how it goes.

Who would you put at #2 then? After looking at all the teams Atlanta has one of the best starting lineups in the East. With the addition of Lou Williams they will be just as good even though Joe Johnson is gone and the only reason the Hawks finished in the 4-5 seed area is because Horford was out for most of the season. I think they can easily get the 2nd or 3rd seed.

I agree with you on the knicks about them not being too overpowering but i think that they have a lot more depth than last year and if Melo and Amare can stay healthy they could possibly beat out the Bulls for the third seed.

I do not see Boston being higher than a 4th seed and they will be lucky if they can even get the 5th seed in my opinion due to the 76s Pacers and Bucks. I doubt any of those 4 teams will be a 4th seed or higher unless the Bulls decide to really suck it up but you can feel free to disagree.
