well i am primiarily a Sprewell fan, so i am going for the Wolves this year. It's really impossible to say one of the stocked up west teams is gonna be the best or so much better than one of the others, we should just wait until whatever happens before making some audacious claims. injuries and such are always a factor as well.
I hope, for KG's sake, the wolves get past the first round this year, they almost got by the lakers last year which was pretty much KG and hudson vs shaq and kobe. With cassell, sprewell and kandi (hopefully he gets better still) there they lok pretty good.
I was pissed at the walker trade though, i really like the walker/pierce duo, now the mavs have way too many scorers with jamison and walker... although they'll probably still be good.
I think shaq is probably the best player in the league cause he mixes size/power with skill so well. Yao doesn't really seem to powerful, although he was posting really impressive numbers in the preseason games.
Should be a great season though. Hopefully NJ or maybe detoit, or whoever make it through make it a good finals series. Although that really is a long way away....
