*Laughs at CC thinking Magic will beat Pistons.* You really need to understand that the Magic aren't nearly as good as you think either.


Mine to come later.

 

[MapleLeaf]

call me biased but the Mavs a 5th seed? All based on this last playoff series? Although we did go 0-3 against the WArriors during the season so some saw it coming. But we pwned the rest of the league and we have the same team if not better then last year.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, Mavs > Jazz. I'll agree there. But top four is a throw-up. And if the Jazz play better than last year, watch for Mavs to possibly be number 5..

 

[$tunna]

again why are the hawks 5th in every prediction we're doing very well if you look at how we've been playing yet we always get put there for no reason

[RipCity32]

Well it's a toss-up between the Bobcats and the Hawks. But the Bobcats have a few share of injuries so it's pretty much a toss-up.

 

[VC3]

Well well well, if it isnt the "smartest member on SI". hehe

Magic 4th seed? How the hell??? With who? Adonal Foyle leading the way?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm just going to do playoffs since thats all that really matters and I don't want to waste my time.

Eastern Conference:

2. Detroit Pistons
3. Chicago Bulls
4. Cleveland Cavaliers
5. Miami Heat
6. Toronto Raptors
7. Orlando Magic
8. Washington Wizards or New Jersey Nets

Western Conference:
1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Phoenix Suns
3. Dallas Mavericks
4. Houston Rockets
5. Utah Jazz
6. Denver Nuggets
7. Golden State Warriors

Division winners get the top 4 seeds no matter what their record
A 40 game winner could get the 4th seed as long as they win their division

I'm just saying...

I think the Hornets could be the 8th seed if they can stay healthy all season, but neither the Lakers or Hornets haven't proven anything yet. So we will see. And let the flameing of me being biased by putting the Pistons at number 1 begin... Until Boston proves something Pistons or Bulls at number one. Period.

But San Antonio is obviously better than you, and I think Houston is as well....

Seriously, you need to stop being a mar....... wait, the almight admin will warn me...

Ok we had the best record last season, and we are getting better. The Spurs finished below us, and are getting older. How are they "obviously" better.

I guess they didn't win the championship last year did they? They had injuries during the season and thats why they didn't do as good or better then the Mavs last season.

 

[MapleLeaf]

We actually won the season series against the Spurs. In fact, I think the only team we lost a season series thing was to like Utah, and OMG, THE WARRIORS.

People are downgrading us because we got beat by a team that had owned us all year when we had owned the rest of the year.

BTW, let's get more arguments in here.

Mavs > suns

 

[CameronCrazy06]

But Spurs > Rox > Mavs, which is why you're 5th....

 

[MapleLeaf]

Mavs > rockets

 

[RipCity32]

Mavs > rockets

Not if the Rockets stay healthy.

 

[Grandy28]

Yao,T-Mac,Mike James, a good Steve Francis=pwnage. Dallas isn't any better from last season and the Spurs and the Rockets are. Suns>Mavs anyday.
