Teams

[vonkaiser78]

IMHO,

Looking over rosters, I think the teams that dominate:
- Heat (no brainer)
- Lakers (obviously, even though I'm hating on them)
- Oak City (chemistry)
- Nuggets (Love the squad, is Melo there to stay? if he is, they will beat LA in playoffs)
- Magic (not much has changed, with the exit of Barnes, but I don't see much else, still a powerhouse)
- Mavs (still a solid squad, but will they make it past the first round this time? Me thinks so.)


Up and Cummers...

I like Sac Kings, I think they made some good moves, and Evans will come back even stronger.

I also like Nets out the east to compete. Think they will be cinderella of the league.

Clippers may make some noise, that is if the Clipper Curse doesn't devour them this season.

Every other team seems like childs play to me, we will see how the season progresses, but for the 2011 playoff i like this scenario.....

1st round.... east

1st seed Heat vs. 8th seed Nets

2nd seed Magic vs. 7th seed Pistons

3rd seed Celtics vs. 6th seed Bucks

4th seed Hawks vs 5th seed Bulls

1st round.... west

1st seed Nuggets vs. 8th seed Clippers

2nd seed Lakers vs. 7th seed Portland

3rd seed Dallas vs 6th seed Sacramento

4th seed Oak City vs 5th seed Suns


Some bullshit prediction, but we'll see how it pans out

Come on now, the Knicks gotta be in the playoffs this year! Now they actually have players they want instead of cap-clearers, and it's a pretty well suited roster for D'Antoni. And if they get Melo, I say they get the 3 seed.

i think OKC is the 2 seed in the west this year. i do like the bold predictions and the seedings!!

Denver? really?

[justdonating]

Unless Kobe isn't around, no way in hell Denver beats the Lakers.....

I hear that Denver is close to trading one of they components, the JR fella, his last name escapes my mind. From a distance, it looks as though they may not be a tight knit group & things could fall apart at the seams here.
