Feedback!

Surprise teams: Clippers... Maybe, just maybe. Baron Davis, Ricky Davis, Camby and Kaman... They MIGHT surprise some people by creeping in the playoffs and maybe creating some upsets. Im also looking forward to watching OJ mayo tear it up in Memphis... Miami is also interesting... See if wade can regain his form and how he works with Marion and Beasley...

The team I am MOST afraid of... 76ers. Because they are in the same division as the raps, and that they added Brand, with Dalembert, Igudola, Miller and others, they should be competing for home court if they can stay healthy...

Obviously the raptors, to see how, if Jermaine Oneal can stay completely healthy, they would have the most dangerous frontcourt since Duncan and Robinson...


Lakers need to do something about their lineup. They need a true SF. Odom isnt going to cut it. I like the celtics but losing posey might hurt them so much that they wont be able to repeat... he was defintely the unsung hero of that team...


What do you guys think?

2008 - 2009 NBA Champions: Detroit Pistons

Gonna be an interesting season, I don't see Lakers doing too good next season they'll be whatever but Clippers are bound to rip shit up...

i'mma have to agree with Summy. Clippers and 76ers are definitely threats.

Also look out for the Hornets...amazing season last year, gained some great postseason experience, and have also added James Posey (HUGE threat off the bench)
Also, the Rockets...Yao ming, tmac, and Ron artest are a very formidable trio..if they stay healthy they can do some major damage..man the western conference is insane

but yeah, none of that really matters because my Pistons will take it all next year

I agree with the Heat, 76ers and Clippers, but see alot more teams with alot of potential including the Blazers (Bayless, Aldridge, Oden, Roy, Outlaw and Webster all have the potential to be stars), Warriors (lost Baron but picked up Maggette and Randolph), and of course Houston (picked up Artest).

Even thought I know it probably wont happen... I want the Hawks to win it all haha

I'm hoping Clippers will do good this year too.

Lakers: Maybe do better with Bynum. I really don't know..they have alot of competition this year. Dissappointed with them.
Rockets: Yao, McGrady and Artest. I'm thinking they will be a really good force in the west. THAT TRIO SCARES ME.
Celtics: I do agree with you Summy. Posey was a big help to the team but hopefully Rondo works on that shot and I also think Giddens will be good for the team.
Miami and Bulls: Excited to see Beasley and Rose play..anyone think they have what it takes to take their teams to the playoffs?

Question is..who's better? Rose or Beasley?

Threats:
Hornets!! Chris Paul+West+Stojakovic+posey? Might surprise us next year.
Blazers: roy, aldridge, oden, bayless....need I say more??

Anyone think Cleveland or San Antonio will make it to the finals?

I really wanna see my Denver Nuggets take it home!!

KINGS yeah yeah i know we arent that great...but you NEVER know

anyways coming back to reality
Im just looking forward to see Hornets this season

Bulls and Trailblazers will do some damage this year. 8)

WEst:with Greg Oden coming back..watch out for Portland, clippers are in the mix as well....and now Rockets getting Ron Ron, they are consider a solid contender .......Lakers will do good again with Bynum coming back..East: Celtics are a obvious choice... 76ers will do some damage along with Bulls....iam not so sure about detroit next season....i think WEst just got even more stronger wid CLippers in the mix and Rockets getting Ron Artest.

My Prediction : Lakers and Celtics in the finals with Lakers winning it at all (no iam not saying that cuz iam from LA) ;D
