Mr.Knick 32ParticipantI don’t know how Sacramento is the 2nd worst team in the NBA….
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:08am #356707
llperezwell you have the pacers as the second worst and i think they will be better then the kings. Dunleavy should be healthy and both he and murphy are in contract years so they will play well. Hibbert is getting better everyday. And if granger could stay healthy, he is an all-star. Add in paul george and brandon rush on the wings, ill give thme a slight edge over sacramento who will be trying to develop cousins down low and teams will make a more concentrated effort to slow down tyreke evans.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:14am #356713
sheltwon3Participantllperez Indiana should be better but they would improve a lot more if they played their young players which would hurt them the season coming up but would set them up for greatness the following year after they add a top 3 pick to the those young players and Granger and Hibbett

llperezyeah, i have them finishing bottom 5. Im not huge on them. But I was comparing them with the kings, who are also gonna play young guys like cousins, tyreke and omri casspi big minutes. I think the kings are heading in the right direction, but it might ont show in the wins and losses. A team starting beno udrih, omri casppi and either sameul dalembert or a rookie demarcus cousins is gonna go through some growing pains when you see how deep the west is.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:19am #356718
llperezman, you tink the kings finish ahead of the grizz sheltwon? other then tyreke evans, the grizz have a better starter at the other 4 positions.

- Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:22am #356721
sheltwon3Participantperez that is my one bold pick because you are right Grizz are more talented than Kings but Kings have a stronger front court and Tyreke. Tyreke has some Lebron in him in that he can carry a bunch of unknowns in the regular season. I also think Cousins is ready to play now. Kings could have won close to 40 games if not for that slippage when they tried to play Kevin Martin and Evans together and also when Evans got hurt. This year they should have better chemistry and lots of front court production and also I like Paul Wesphal as coach.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:25am #356722
llperezdont agree at all that the kings have a stronger front court then the grizz.
Gay, randolph and gasol are all borderline all-star caliber players. Casspi, landry and cousins/dalembert are not on that level. Maybe Landry is, but he’s defenitely not better then randoplh who had the best season of his career last year.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:31am #356728
aarondsonixfanParticipantit wouldnt be awesome. It would be a sweep
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:32am #356729
sheltwon3Participantperez all Grizz have is Gasol and Randolph which is plenty much but Sacramento have Cousins, Dalembert, Landry, Thompsom, and Whiteside. Also they have two small forward in Green and Cassipi who have great size for small forwards. Donte Green is like 6’10 with long arms.
Kings make up in depth what Grizz has in Gasol, Randolph
Grizz don’t have a single player i feel that can carry a team.
I like Gay but he is not a leader just yet and Randolph as talented as he is ,is not a leader either
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:32am #356732
aarondsonixfanParticipantoh and I don’t see the rockets ahead of the thunder imo. I’d say OKC goes about 7 or 8. They might be able to beat out the spurs

sheltwon3ParticipantKnicks82 I have it Knicks(7) versus Miami(2)
Knicks will get 7th place and Miami as good as the 3 are will not have a better record than Orlando.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:35am #356736
llperezwhy do you include donte green and omri casspi for the kings frontcourt but not include gay for the grizz? And zach was a beast last year and made the all-star team and really looked like a guy who could carry a team. For the kings, thompson is nothing special and we cant say for sure what to expect from cousins or whiteside. I could also include thabeet if we are talking about depth with unproven players.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:37am #356740
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantMemphis and Sacramento are both alright teams. i don’t see either making the playoffs next season.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:44am #356744
sheltwon3Participantperez I did mentioned him in that post but you are right I should have put him with the other front court players but the still does not change the fact that Kings are deeper in the front court. Having 5 or 6 solid front court players is pretty close to having 3 really great one. Also Evans does so much that giving this guy a front court to battle with will make him that much more dangerous.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 8:45am #356746
sheltwon3Participantthere are only 2 spot difference. I can see if it was more than that but I feel they are close but I just like Kings better as a team
0- Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 9:46am #356756
knicks82ParticipantIm just sayin a Knicks vs Heat series would be great for 1. Renew old rivalry and 2. The fact that Lebron spurned the Knicks would make it that much more interesting. Whether it would be a close series or not isnt a concern for me. I know plenty of Knick fans who would be thrilled just to make it in the Playoffs rite now as bad as the team has been the past 10 yrs.

boffacheeriosParticipantgrizz won’t be better than sac cuz they can’t play as a team. look at their players: at point?????/conley is really their only playmajer and he’s proven that he can’t really be a good player. Mayo is a scorer and he literally can’t pass the ball, as is shown by his summer league performance….ITS FREAKIN SUMMER LEAGUE!! Gay is much like mayo to me but he has a different game. he isn’t required to pass too much as a forward so its really not his fault. randolph is notoriously one of the most selfish players in the league, and with gasol, he’s an energy, rebounds guy who doesn’t do much more (he can score pretty well out of the post). individualy i really like the grizzlies, but i don’t see them coming together very well at all. prove me wrong grizz!

smithers3551ParticipantOnly a true Knick fan can beleive that adding Amare and some marginal peices to a team that had nothing last year is gonna make them a playoff team. Granted I do like Randolph but I think he still needs some time
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 12:52pm #356868
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantAmare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton are not bad pieces. Randolph could be a great player in D’Antoni’s offense. Add Gallinari in his 3rd season along with Wilson Chandler?
That team could contend for the playoffs. I still don’t understand how you call them a bottom 5 team in the NBA when all they did was improve. Not to mention they weren’t a bottom 5 team last year. Still need to see the logic there.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 12:53pm #356869
llperezi have the knicks finishing 8th in the east. but there should be about 12 teams from the west who finish ahead of them.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 12:55pm #356872
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantI think they can finish 7th. I think the 15-20 range is good for them. I have them going 15.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:04pm #356878
dipt1982ParticipantThey could be a 7 or 8 seed in the East, that’s not saying much considering the 7-8 seeds are usually very mediocre teams in the East, barely going .500. But they did improve, it’s hard not to notice that at least…
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:07pm #356883
Michael.S.Participant7th and 8th are wide open in the East…Any team could snag one of those spots. If I had to pick two teams I would pick NY and Cha…

0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:14pm #356887
dipt1982ParticipantHouston at 5? I guess theoretically that could happen, but there are some big “ifs” on the table. If Aaron brooks can do what he did last year on a team vying for a top 2 or 3 seed. If Kevin martin can turn into “the guy” on a contending team, and the biggest “if” of all, IF Yao Ming can stay healthy. They have a lot of talent, indeed. I just think they need to work on staying healthy, and maybe they could be that good. Scola continues to get better, brad Miller was a solid pick up to back up Ming. Martin is a first rate star, but can he do it with the spotlight on him? Aaron Brooks is a very solid PG, but will he be able to continue getting better, or has he hit his ceiling? A lot of questions remain with them…
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:15pm #356889
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantYea, that’s crazy.
I had problems putting HOU at 10…
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:20pm #356897
llperezhouston plays as tough defense as anyone. They were competitive last year without yao. They pushed the lakers to 7 games 2 years ago without yao or tmac. They are deep inside now with hill, patterson, scola and yao. Martin, ariza and the development of buddinger will be huge for the perimter. And Brooks is a legit borderline all-star pg.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:20pm #356898
Michael.S.ParticipantYup, there are alot of big “ifs”…but I have faith that Yao will finally stay healthy and the Rockets will make a big run. Anything can happen though. But, from te way their lineup looks now I really really think they are gong to succeed.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:22pm #356902
dipt1982ParticipantThey definitely have the talent, I’m not doubting that, there’s just too many “ifs” for me to think there the 5th best team in the league…
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:26pm #356908
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantNot saying ya’ll wrong, this is my opinon.
Houston is good not great. I just feel that they lack the idea of a Championship team in my eyes. To call them a Championship team is terrible. I think Dallas, Los Angeles, Utah, Oklahoma City and San Antonio could beat them in a 7 game series.
Yao will be playing 25-30 min and Brad Miller was TERRIBLE last season. Kevin Martin is good but he’s not a great defender. Battier and Ariza are good players. Battier is slowing down and I saw some games where he is not as quick. Ariza is a good number 3 piece. Aaron Brooks cannot defend a Russell Westbrook type, he would struggle IMO.
I think there a classic 50 win team, early exit in the playoffs.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:35pm #356918
llperezthey showed with even less tlaent 2 years ago they could win in the playoffs. Defense and an inside game is what wins in the playoffs. Houston has that. And how do you know for sure yao will only play 25-30 minutes? Even if he does, i think they are right on par with teams like san antonio and okc, so for you to say its terrible to call them a championship caliber team, i really disagree. Depth all day long.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:40pm #356922
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantI guess they have depth but depth is overrated if the players don’t have playoff experience.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:43pm #356925
llperezyao, brooks, miller, ariza, battier, scola all have playoff experience. You bring up playoff experiecne but then say okc should be ahead whne they have much less playoff experience
brooks, martin, ariza, scola, yao as starters
lowry, buddinger, bmiller, patterson, hill, battier all off the bench. And they play defense and have a proven playoff tested coach.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:44pm #356927
Michael.S.ParticipantYeah, exactly what llperez said. They have *proven* they can already win undermanned and undersized and overmatched. This year their lineup looks great so I don’t see why they can’t exceed everything they did when they weren’t even close to healthy.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:47pm #356930
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantI didn’t say they SHOULD be ahead, I said OKC could beat them in 7 games.
You also have to remember that 9/10 times, a team’s rotation get smaller once the playoffs come around. So those 11 players you name could go down to 8-9 players. It’s a wait and see approach for me when it comes to Houston. I just feel that- Is a 31 year old Yao coming off of 2 leg injures the difference between the 9th seed and the 5th seed?
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:49pm #356933
dipt1982ParticipantThere no more talented than Utah has been the past couple seasons. A very solid regular season team, I just don’t see them getting much done in the playoffs. Not to say they can’t, I just don’t see it. And yes, they pushed the Lakers to 7 games, but Atlanta pushed Boston to 7 games a couple years back too, until they actually BEAT those teams, the proof is not there…
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:50pm #356934
Michael.S.ParticipantYao is 29 and I’d like to see anyone on OKC’s roster even attempt to guard him
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:51pm #356935
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantYao is 29 with 2 leg injuries. He’s gonna be super slow.
Go look at Big Z before the leg injury and after it. He went from a post player to a mid range big.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:53pm #356940
Michael.S.Participantyou don’t have to be fast when our 7’5. Your that tall you can shoot right over anyone no problem.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:55pm #356943
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantWe will see.
I’m just not ranking Houston high. If they prove me wrong, they prove me wrong.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:58pm #356944
dipt1982ParticipantI agree, Big Z was a completely different player after injuries…and Yao has the same kind of game he did. I don’t see them as a top 5 team at all, but if they prove me wrong, so be it.
0 - Posted on: Sun, 07/18/2010 - 2:39pm #357003
SwatLakeCityParticipantYou guys are seriously underestimating some teams. For example, Utah. Big time. Al Jefferson was a big addition to the team. He’s younger, plays better D than Booz. Not a great defender but he is better than Booz. He’s taller, and I think he weighs more too. The fact that he will be along side a great PG is huge. He will love it and he will be an Allstar because of it. He might even be named one this year. Dwill has promised him that he will be an allstar. They have all the tools necessary to win in this league. A great PG, a good PF, and a great coach. I personally guarantee they will be better than the Rockets. They have depth but so does Utah , and they have been in the playoffs forever, much longer than the Rockets and probably longer than Rick Adelman has with the Kings. The Rockets are getting older, Yes Yao will be healthy but he wont be nearly as good with those injured legs. I don’t care how tall you are, injured legs do hurt your game. I also think Utah will be better than OKC. The series would be tough but I think they could be beat them because of their playoff experience.
In the end the west order would look something like this I think
LAL
Denver
Dallas
Portland
Utah
OKC
Houston
Memphis
Spurs
Phoenix
Sacramento
Hornets
LAC
Warriors
MinnyEast
Heat
Magic
Celtics
Bulls
Hawks
Bucks
Knicks
Bobcats
Nets
Sixers
Wizards
Pacers
Pistons
Raptors

sheltwon3ParticipantHouston can be a great team but there are so many question marks they are tough to call.

dipt1982ParticipantPeople really liking the Knicks. LOL. I don’t see it, they didn’t make that much of an upgrade. They had all the same players, minus Stoudemire (who will have similar stats to Lee) and Felton (similar to Duhon)…and still failed to have a successful season…anywhere from 20-25 for the Knicks IMO.
If you had the Kings and Bobcats ahead of the Wizards, I would agree with that ranking KnicksBoy, don’t be mad about the Knicks thing either…

Mr.Knick 32ParticipantHey, I’m not mad about the Knicks. I could push them down a peg.
I think Washington could move down a bit. Even though they have John Wall, they lack a good 3 man and the Blatche/McGee thing is a mystery still.

dipt1982Participant^^ AGREED

dipt1982ParticipantAll the Bobcats lost essentially was Chandler, who was hurt most of last season, and they were pretty good. Wallace and S. Jackson make that team a tough out against anyone….

dipt1982ParticipantOh yeah, and Felton, my bad, but Augustine played well when he got minutes…
0 - Posted on: Tue, 07/20/2010 - 8:54am #358241
Mr.Knick 32ParticipantThe issue with Charlotte is Felton was the coach on the court.
All I heard from Charlotte is that Larry Brown doesn’t believe Augustine was the man because he’s had issues running the team in spot minutes.
0 - Posted on: Tue, 07/20/2010 - 9:13am #358271
dipt1982ParticipantYeah, it will interesting, I think Augustine is a little under sized as well. Either way, Gerald Wallace and S. Jax run that team…
