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....

i hate the lakers

they will win the title

btw the only reason i hate them is cause larry brid did not get his championship

Heat are gonna make the playoffs..... I PROMISE....

Odom, Grant, Jones, C. Butler, and Wade.... thats not a bad line, fast, young and athletic... not too tall though... i think if there arent any injuries this is definitly a playoff team...

Lets see what Stan can do as a coach

Odom's a headcase who's upset 'bout Riley's move. Jones is slick, but not built to carry the load. Grant plays hard, but the team is too short.

They may make 7th or 8th, then bye-bye in the first round.

noooo the suns lost by 1 to the spurs....

ah well. damn you joe johnson for going 1 for 10 from the field!

dayammm who saw lebron tonight!??!

LeBron is gonna be special.. hopefully he'll be able to get better.

25 points! Well at least he isn't a first-pick-flop.. yet ;p

East is a joke, I can guarentee the that no Eastern conference will win a championship in the next 2-3 years, not going to happen.

Don't forget the 9 assists, 6 rebounds, and four steals. He won't be a flop.
I've been watching him play since he was a high school sophomore, and he was good enough to play in the NBA as a junior. I've been telling everyone for a few years he's gonna be the best player in the NBA someday....... I stand by my opinion. He's a freak of nature and he makes everyone on the court better. He's gonna have some bad games, but he's just a rookie so you have to expect that.
