Here's mine
1. Grizzlies
2. Thunder
3. Dallas
4. San Antonio
5. Lakers
6. Clippers
7. TrailBlazers
8. Rockets

I think New Orleans competes but falls just short at 9

Hornets won't be in it. They'll make a run for the final spot but ultimately finish 10th or 11th.

And you know what, that's ok.

assuming the wolves suck too that would be OK. Barnes or Perry Jones FTW

I like most of those, but the spurs roster looks OLD right now. Unless they made some moves to improve their team that i didn't see, I don't think they'll be very good in a 66 game season.

Agree on the Spurs. They're still in but maybe as a 6.

I hope the Hornets win no more than 15 games this season, that the wolves win even less and that Stern promised whoever buys the team the #1 pick in the lottery

If we could be anywhere near as exciting as the clippers with a similarly bad record, that'd be perfect

That's why I put them so high. They were the number one seed with 82 games so pending injuries playing 66 would benefit them more

I forgot they were number 1. I went through the roster of every team in the NBA yesterday, and I just remember being thoroughly unimpressed.

I think we will compete but not having our team until a week before the season starts is going to make for a long first month. Bad start will keep us a few games out of the 8 spot.

Well they were one game away from the Western Conference finals without their second best player. Re-signed the entire team back, and a shortened league, it COULD happen.your explanation as to why not?

The grizzlies are pretty deep, it's not impossible.

I think the top of the West is down this year. Spurs, Lakers, Mavs all took a step back this offseason due to age or personnel losses. Thunder look like they are set up for a long run as long as Westbrook doesn't pull a Marbury

1 Thunder
2 Mavs
3 Lakers
4 Grizzlies
5 Clippers
6 Spurs
7 Blazers
8 Nuggets

Nuggets are going to suck this year.

1.) Thunder
2.) Lakers
3.) Memphis
4.) Clippers
5.) Mavs
6.) Portland
7.) Houston
8.) San Antonio

I think the Spurs start going down hill this season.

Spurs got alot more youth and depth this year (Leonard, Joseph, Blair, White and Splitter). Plus they always make moves to augment what they got.
