I just feel like adding that the Bulls will make the playoffs.

I also just wanted to say how can you forget about the Lakers just yet. Since when is Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Gary Payton and Caron Butler NOT a playoff team? The Lakers will have home court.

Why does everyone have the Suns missing the playoffs...Nash, JJ, Marion, and Stoudemire...thats a pretty good team!

Because adding Steve Nash doesn't suddenly make you a playoff team when you were the worst team in the West last year. Amare won't improve enough to carry the Suns to the playoffs. Bank on it.

It sure doesn't hurt when in early December, Amare goes down with the injury, only to follow this up with a trade of your star PG only a month later for basically nothing.
That really doesn't affect the team in any way......


Lakers will have homecourt?
KABI, GP is over-the-hill. Say it with me.
Good luck getting into the playoffs when you have no defense up front, as well as a weak front court in general.
There's Odom, Divac, and (insert name here).

The east is really too close to tell, #5-12 seeds are fairly even, rearrange them any way u like, i just wanted to see the cavs, bulls, and wizards make it

[Damian Necronamous]

I don't agree. Right now, I think that the Grizzlies are better than the Rockets and the Lakers are just as good, maybe better.
