A lot of people will vote for the Spurs, but I went with the Blazers. Young upstart team, I can see them making a lot of noise in the regular season like the Hornets did a couple seasons ago. Prob' won't go far though once the real season(playoffs) starts.

I went with the Spurs. Blair and Jefferson change the dynamic of the team, and with Hill, Bonner and Mason providing depth, they will atleast contend once again. Dependent on health of their starts though.

My thoughts exactly.

I went with the Nuggets, I know they didn't improve (at all) like the other teams in the west but I still believe they're the 2nd best team in the west.

I went with the Spurs, adding Jefferson was a huge imo. Gives them another scorer in case of an injury and they have good depth.

Bump.

Def Spurs like the posted above, acquiring Jefferson would make their lineup better.

as of now Spurs
this is assuming they are healthy but like houston last year, their stars have injury issues...

Exactly why I didn't vote for them. They'll have their issues as they do in the regular season and don't play as hard as they do in the postseason, and everyone knows that they don't play as hard in the regular season unless they have to. Which is why I don't think they'll grab the #2 Seed. I think they'll get farther then my vote (The Blazers), but we're talking about seeding which includes the regular season, not just plain rankings from best to worst.

Spurs Win. Please close.
