Sup ppl,new to the board. Just want to know your predictions for the up coming season in the NBA. Here are mine
West
1. Dallas
2 Spurs
3 Suns
4 Lakers
5 Rockets
6 Kings
7 Clippers
8 Hornets
East
1. Pistons
2 Heat
3 Nets
4 Cavaliers
5 Pacers
6 Bulls
7 Magic
8 Wizards
In the West i have the Lakers mosing from 7 to 4 because of how they finished last season. They were one of the hottest teams in the West,the last 20 games. it usually takes a full eyar to fully grasp the triangle offense. Expect them to begin the season the way they finished. In the East,i think the Pistons are Underated. PPl are underestimating Rasheed Wallace,Rip Hamilton,Chauncey Billups.Prince. I think the Bulls are overated. They will still have to rely way to much on there guards doing to much creating in half-court sets. They dont have any Low post player to take pressure off Gordan and Hinrich. If the Pacers stay healthy,i see them as better then the Bulls. More consistency in the paint.Bulls kinda remind me of the pisotns before Rasheed.
