    I know I am being a little picky but the seeds can't happen that way in the West. Division winners have to be in the top 4.

    I have no clue how it will shake out but I think Houston, Lakers, and Utah win their respective divisions and the 4th seed will come out of the Southwest division.

    1. Lakers
    2. Houston
    3. Jazz
    4. Hornets
    5. Spurs
    6. Suns
    7. Mavs
    8. Nuggets

    Thanks for pointing that out, I figured I had screwed up something. But I think you get the overall picture, im trying to display.

    OOOo, but you have the Nuggets in the 8 spot with no Marcus Camby in the middle, I dont think that happens this year.

    FWIW I think Boston has a chance to fall pretty far. Without Posey if they have a few injuries like they did last year I can see them falling to the middle of the East. I just doubt that they will have the same fire that they had alst year.

    I thought you would be singing a different tune after losing to the Jazz in the playoffs 2 years in a row.:sob: I expect the Jazz to be a little better this year with some of the young guns getting some valuable experience last year.

    beating a team in 6 games without their best player and their PG doesn't make you someone to fear.

    The Lakers added Bynum.
    The Hornets added Posey.
    The Rockets added Artest.
    The Blazers added Oden.

    The Jazz added . . . nothing.

    I think they will win 50 games and easily win their crap-job division. But I think they should have made a move this offseason imo.

    They remind me a lot like Orlando in the East.

    You love the roster. You know they'll win 50 games.

    But you also know barring a minor miracle, there is no way in heck, they will win the conference.

    - I could also see Detroit slipping, but I think we may be a year away from that.
    - Mo Williams already looks like he will help.
    - Cant wait to see the twin towers later tonight.
