Early Playoff Predictions:

[CameronCrazy06]

LOL you can't say no one can beat the Lakers though. Some of those teams could definitely beat the Lakers. Will they? We'll see.

 

[elcheato]

Lucky season? Lmao. Coming from a Lakers fan, that shouldn't have won when Kobe airballed it, and Artest was right there, in Game 5. It should have gone to 7. The Suns are a good team, and you're biased as hell.

And game 7 was in LA where the Suns were incapable of winning.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Not if they would've won Game 5 like they deserved to

Just wanted to see what everyone thinks. I know there's a lot left to happen and many things can change:

East:

1. Heat
2. Bulls (with Redick)
3. Magic
4. Celtics
5. Bucks
6. Hawks
7. Bobcats
8. Knicks

West:

1. Lakers
2. Nuggets
3. Mavericks
4. Thunder
5. Spurs
6. Rockets
7. Trail Blazers
8. Suns

You put the BUCKS before the HAWKS SMFH..

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Bucks last season in the second half were a VERY good team before Bogut got injured, and the additions of Maggette and Chris Douglas-Roberts only makes them better. I don't see anything wrong with that prediction...

Exactly and they almost beat the hawks in the playoffs last year without Bogut.

Plus Brandon Jennings will be seasoned another year. The Bucks should be strong next year.

Provided CP stays healthy, the Hornets could be low seeds. Granted I don't think they'd contend for a title, but still.

Chris Paul- Best PG
Marcus Thornton- One of the better scorers
Peja Stojakovic- Teams still respect his shot
David West- Allstar PF
Emeka Okafor- Solid C who has room to improve under new coach

Darren Collison- One of the best young PG's
SG- ???
Quincy Pondexter- may beat out Peja, kid can ball
Craig Brackins- talented four who can shoot from range
Aaron Gray- big C who can give you quality minutes

Then I didn't mention decent vets like Posey, Songalia, Diogu, god knows about Julian Wright. Then the Hornets may bring in the leading NCAA scorer from last season in Aubrey Coleman and even Kyle Hines is a good end of the bench option.

If we can land Pritchard or Demps as our GM this could be an interesting team.

Paul wants no part of NO and he stunk last year. I wouldn't be surprised if he was dealt before the start of the season.

He stunk last year? He was injured for a good portion of the second half, but he was still one of the top players in the league. He averaged 19 points and 11 assists per game. Saying he wants "no part" of New Orleans is a little bit of an overstatement too. He wants to win, but doesn't have a problem being in New Orleans, as long as we win and build.
