I couldn't put toronto there but they will be batteling for the 8th spot with chicago, and orlando. I don't know if my beloved magic will make the playoffs this year hm.

Where's Orlando???


I don't think that NJ will be in playoffs... And Orlando yes

I don't know about orlando because it seems like they don't have enough offense, new jersey has veterans and young players and can play a little d. Orlando might struggle this year although i hope they don't. Dallas and Denver will be fighting for the 8th spot in the west.

No Denver w/o camby. Now that Oden out 2-4 weeks, Blazers maybe.
Sacramento? I loled.
Clippers GSW and Blazers will be fighting for the 8th spot at the end

I don't know about orlando because it seems like they don't have enough offense

So Orlando doesn't have enough offense...but Chicago does?

Chicago has rose he will be fantastic i think, gooden can rebound good inside scorer very underated, hughes if healthy can probably score? Hinrich is a good shooter, gordon and deng good shooters, don't know too much about nocioni though. Can't say much about noah, he's too young right now, we'll have to wait and see. I haven't had the chance to look at orlando, but i've heard they added a few pieces but i forgot who they were, i wish both florida teams would make the playoffs. Orlando i think lost the other night? Didn't they play atlanta? And if you can't beat atlanta well i don't know.

Yup, your accurate, sensible and in-depth predictions do warrant their own thread.

Yeah, because an opening night game means everything. Look at those silly Celtics, they lost to Atlanta three times in six playoff games.

The Magic last season were 7th on offense, and lost no one of real importance. And added Pietrus to replace Evans.
The Bulls last season were 28th on offense, and added no one of real importance. No, Derrick Rose is not the Basketball Obama.

What? Yes they did.

That's what happens when you start one phrasing and transpose it halfway through.
