Early NFL Power Rankings & Projected Records For 2012-20
If the Bobcats aren’t the team in the league basement this year, however, who is? Most of last year’s other ho-hum rosters improved this offseason, with Washington adding more veterans, New Jersey adding like a billion dollars’ worth of starting lineup to their payroll, New Orleans adding a Unibrow, and Sacramento bringing in a real point guard and a very talented rookie power forward.
''I feel pretty good, but I keep telling you guys, I want to be 110 percent,'' Howard said. ''I have to make sure I'm in great shape, and my conditioning is where it needs to be. It's a process, and we'll get there.''
Steve Nash scored 13 points and Metta World Peace added 12 as the Lakers lost their second straight preseason game by double digits. Pau Gasol had eight points on 3-of-12 shooting, but Portland surged to a 13-point lead in the third quarter while the Lakers' three healthy starters were still playing.
Unless Carlisle is planning a Don Nelson-style reversion to small ball in Dallas, there is a definite need for a seven-footer like Curry on the Mavericks’ roster to start the season.
“It’s anywhere between three and six [weeks] so we’re hoping for the best and bracing for the worst,” Mavericks GM Donnie Nelson told HOOPSWORLD of Nowitzki’s timetable.”Hence bringing in Eddy Curry. He had a chance to practice with the boys this morning and he [got] some significant time tonight. You never know, we might just throw him in the mix this week.”
I found these early Power rankings and predicted final records for each division for this year's upcoming 2012-2013 season. I have to admit that I actually like the power rankings and the predicted records do make sense.
