Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
I see two of you have SA as #1. I dont buy it for two reasons. One, the obvious,age. Two, even if they are good enough to get the 1 seed I dont think they will strive for it because they dont want to burn players out and they are more of a team that focuses on finishing the season strong rather that their seeding.

Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
I think TD and the rest of the aging part of the cast is going to realize their window is closing, and step it up next year in an attempt to grab one more ship before they go. Besides, they win it every other year.

Here is my top 8 in the west:

8. Nuggets
yup...no PHX

I agree with 1-7. 8 is a tossup between the Nuggets and Phoenix. For me, its going to depend on what the Nuggets do in the off-season. As of right now, i'm probably leaning toward Phoenix just because of Nash. So mine would be...
1. Lakers
2. Utah
3. Spurs
4. Hornets
5. Rockets
6. Mavericks
7. Blazers
8. Phoenix

Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
Cool thanks. I remember they lost a bunch when he first got there but then they went on a tear. People were quetioning at one point if they would even make the playoffs but then they righted the ship.
I am just not feeling it for them next year. New coach, new system. Will Shaq be okay with Porter? How much will Shaq play? How much can he produce? What if Nash gets injured or starts declining? There defense is horrible. I just think that they have no identity, nothing to fall back on.

Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
If Nash would be injured all season, i think it would be hard for them to even makes the playoffs in the east.

Just kidding.. I agree POR will be in the playoffs. I see them 5-7 seed.

Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
Why so low? As of right now I predict:
Portland will win 58-60 games and have HCA in the 1st two rounds. After they win those two series, anything can happen.

Re: DaRizzle has Spoken!!!
I think 50 wins would be fantastic, and the 7th seed a good reasonable goal ... all this talk of 58-60 wins has me thinking there are going to be a lot of disappointed people around here sometime next April.

I will probably bump this time to time to give my most current predictions....and of course to show you how right I was. |
I'd be more impressed if you weren't flaming our players over on the main board in the thread about KP.
