    well 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.

    yeah, 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.

    perez 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.

    dont 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.

    perez 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

    why 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.

    perez 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.

      Im 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.

    grizz 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!

    Amare 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.

    Houston 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…

    houston 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.

    Not 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.

    they 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.

    Yeah, 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.

    I 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?

    There 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…

    Yao is 29 and I’d like to see anyone on OKC’s roster even attempt to guard him

    Yao 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.

    I’m just not ranking Houston high. If they prove me wrong, they prove me wrong.

    I 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.

    You 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
    Minny

    East
    Heat
    Magic
    Celtics
    Bulls
    Hawks
    Bucks
    Knicks
    Bobcats
    Nets
    Sixers
    Wizards
    Pacers
    Pistons
    Raptors
    Cavs

    People 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…

    Hey, 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.

    All 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….

    The 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.

    Yeah, it will interesting, I think Augustine is a little under sized as well. Either way, Gerald Wallace and S. Jax run that team…
