Nice, I agree mostly. Although I do think that the Rockets should get a jump over the Hornets it's understandable when they haven't even gotten past the first round and still have no idea how the Artest trade is going to work.

Why are they disrepecting Miami like that?

I don't approve of lies in people's signatures.

Anyways, Orlando is too low. They're better than half the teams in front of them...

rofl that's your excuse for this double-standard of yours? You get on other people about spamming yet do it yourself simply because you're too stiff to take a light remark in someone else's sig?
You really need to learn to lighten up CC
-I will agree with one thing though, Orlando is too low.

Orlando isn't that low.. They should be around there. There style of offense wont give them a long playoff run at all, just jacking up 3's doesn't get it done.

Cavs about the Pistons is my only problem, the spot doesn't bother me.

:headsmack: I just laugh at the fact people think the 76ers and Raptors are better then the Cavs, and even the Magic. It's clear we are better. The team may not perform in the regular season like everyone expects, but we always make a post-season run. This year we finally have a PG to go with LeBron. We have Sasha Pavlovic and Anderson Varejao actually in camp on time. Our defense is top 5 in the league, and adding a potential 18 ppg scorer in Mo Williams just makes us that much better. You can't sit here and tell me that two teams who added big men who are coming off serious injuries will be better then us.

The sixers are better than you guys though especially on paper imo

On paper, yeah. So are the Raptors on paper since they have Jermaine now. But I doubt either will do better than the Cavs anyways.

And number 2 is fine, obviously because we lost in the Finals. But it's cool, we'll bounce back to that top spot.

How are you better on paper? Because you added a PF who will get you around 20/10? Well that still didn't address the need of an outside shooter, and we added a PG who will give us around 17/7. We have a better defense, we have arguably the best player in the league and he finally has another scorer he can depend on and has his PG.
We are always a top team in the league because we play defense and have LeBron. Now we got another scorer, which will make us that much better.

In my un-biased opinion, Cleveland is still better than the Sixers/Raptors.
