    wish they were in the east. As good as they are they probably don't make it the west is just too damn talented.

    Doubt it.

    Clippers, Spurs, Thunder are locks. Grizzlies, Nuggets, Warriors and Rockets should make it. 1 spot left, if Dallas lands a big free agent that's your 8th team right there.

    The top of the East is better than the top of West next year. The best two teams in the NBA right now are the Heat and the Nets.

    With a healthy rose, the Pacers and the Bulls can battle any team in the west outside of OKC, Spurs, and maybe the Lakers depending on what happens there.

    The West has better teams in slots 6 7 8. I wouldn't be so sure though. Watch out for a few teams that sucked out east this year, like the Pistons. If Dwight goes to ATL with Josh smith that's also better than any 6 seed out west.

    top of the east is better than top of the west but west overall is WAY deeper than east. East has some dogs in charlotte philly boston wiz and toronto should be a little better but still

    Just looking at the roster. No. Way too young and injury prone.

    West has a lot of talent from top to bottom, but I think Hornets will have a good shot at the 7-8 seed. They need Eric Gordon to stay healthy and at least attempt to play defense. But a backcourt of Jrue and Gordon is pretty nasty.

    If they get Iggy, as the rumors suggest they are pursuing, it is possible.

    Not if Dallas gets Howard.

    Jazz are a joke. Maybe Minnesota or Portland but I doubt it.

    Minnesota would be solid if the team could stay healthy. However, you have a pissed off Love...so who knows. He's prob looking to bounce as soon as he can.

    I don't think there is any chance he sticks around. Guy wants out, bad.

    Wait and see who's in the ECF next year. Watch and see.

    Never question me. The East will win yet again next year. I need to see where some pieces fall in the West to let you know the contenders there.

    No, Pelicans won't make the playoffs unless they can sign a couple good free agents.

    Still don’t get all the hate for the Pelicans name. Get over it. Teams have Hawks, Cardinals, Eagles, Seahawks, Ravens, Falcons, Ducks, and BlueJays as nicknames. The pelican is a meat-eating bird who lives in coastal waters. Pretty cool animal if you ask me, plus it’s the LA state bird.

    Cleveland Browns? What the f*** is a Brown? Utah Jazz? Not a whole lot of Mormons going to jazz clubs last time I checked, but their franchise won’t sell it back to NOLA like they should.
