I think the Magic are better than the Heat, but I could live with being one behind the Nuggs...

The Nuggets should be higher than the Magic but I don't it's hard to choose between Orlando and Miami.

Psssh...Boston is way too high for me. Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins don't win Championships. One.

Why do you always say One. after your post????

Anyways "the big three" in Boston will draw a lot of the defense, leaving Rondo and Perkins wide open, I saw Perkins get a lot of nice and easy baskets in their last preseason game and he did well. As for Rondo, his job will be to pass the ball to one of the big three and not have a lot of turnovers, he can also hit open shots.

Boston may be just a little too high.
And the Warriors are just a tad too high also.

I know they're your hometown team, but I'm doubting if you've even seen them play. I could be the point guard of their team and they'd still be a contender. It's funny how last year you were all over Rondo and how he was gonna be great and now you're saying he can't bring the ball up to half court and give it to a superstar...

i think so too
Look at the Clippers from '06 and last year
'06 they were the suprise team and snuck up an beat just about everyone
then last year, even with a better team, they were pretty much out of it all year

I see the same thing happening to the Warriors. Not having JRich is gonna hurt IMO
It Utah 5 games to figure them out. The rest of league will have them figured out as well

sorry, Marcus.. i think they're way too high.. I believe they're going to miss JRich's dynamic game more then they let on.. when he was on the court, he just caused more problems for the opposing team.. this allowed either him or Baron to assume control..
and the others are still too unproven for me to say they can take his place -- Ellis, included..

but, I could be wrong. but, to say the defending Eastern Conference champs and the Nuggest with Melo & AI are behind the Warriors is extreme for my taste

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Unlike CC, you gave your opinion with supporting facts and reasons why you think that. I just hate bland statements people make like: "this team sucks" or "this player is just so damn good."

Every statement that gives reasoning gets my respect. Just letting that out. I like where they are at, and maybe they are just a tad too high, but I can't complain, right? :D
