Denver,Boston,Grizzlies are teams that I think will make some noise in playoffs. I really like the grizzlies, Z-Bo and Gasol is a handful to deal with down low. Denver Nuggets are a fast young team, is a team that can score 150 points in every game. Ty Lawson is one of the most underrated PG in the game right now. Celtics with experience and Rondo is a beast.

this is going to sound crazy but i think the spurs are going to dominate the playoffs. They arent exactly a sleeper or anything but early in the season everybody wrote them off as to old. They are comng alive now and i say they make one more run to the finals.

Also i like the celtics as a sleeper in the east...a lot of experience and garnet is playing well when in it counts

Hawks might be pretty dangerous depending on how healthy Horford is

Grizzlies, Lakers, and Thunder...if one of those teams don't win it all, i will be surprised.

...not the Heat. I'm betting on teams with good bigs.

Grizzlies are a deep team, and this year they will have Rudy Gay around. I like them as a sleeper.

The Grizzlies will go as far as Mike Conley takes them. IMO he is the key to making a deep run

The Nuggets are the best offensive team in the NBA.

Grizzlies COULD make it to the finals, or hell, win the whole thing, but I wouldn't bet on it.

What we do have is excellent defense, excellent bigs, and 4 guys that have shown themselves to be capable of taking over a game; Rudy, Zbo, Conley, and Marc. And a great 6th man in OJ Mayo.

It's been a fun team to watch this year, the city will be heart broken if we fail to make some playoff noise

Pacers aren't going anywhere if they get the Heat in the 2nd.

Memphis is probably the best "sleeper".

I don't think Memphis is a sleeper because it feels like everyone likes them.

It's crazy to think, but I feel like san Antonio is more of a sleeper than Memphis lol.
