I think we will finish 2nd, but only 53 win? last year we get 55 win.

I think we are 60+ easy.

Shane_Battier: I try to prepare for my opponent as thoroughly as possible. I want to know every angle on the man I am guarding to give me an edge. I read many, many pages and go over strengths and weaknesses many times before a game. Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. That is a motto I like.

I can see that. I still find it a bit hard to rank us 3rd though. We really have to prove it. Until we beat Utah and San Antonio falls off I would put us 4th or 5th.

I think this is the year San Antonio falls down to the 6th or 7th spot in the West.

Jacoby_Ellsbury

Rockets have to be #1 IMO. The C's proved last year the big three thing can work, plus this looks like an astoundingly good defensive team right now. Neither LA or NO measures up.

Yeah I dont get the records though. They all look a little too conservative.

Hakeem

We were just as good as the Hornets last year. They've added Posey, who fills an aching need. We've added Artest, who is a better player than Posey but isn't as essential to this team. We've also added Barry. And Scola will very likely improve. I'd say we're the better team, just.

Lakers are no.1 if Bynum returns well.

Krimzon

Third. I don't think so. I think we'll be in 4th or 5th.

but were any of the big 3 headcases?
