Kobe - Lakers (hope I'm right)

I thought of bogut, since he's a utah guy, but I'm not sure he's a good player :? . would be nice to see him with a better cast.

The bulls aren't a top team?

The East is between teh Bulls and Heat
The West is wide open....i think the Thunder will make a lot of noise.

Knicks are also in favor of being a big in the East.

Thunder will definitely make some noise, but Denver, Memphis, San Antonio, & Dallas are all teams that are most likely going to continue their success from last season into this one too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Western teams surprise some people.

I don't see Memphis or Denver winning it all...SA is an interesting case if they can stay healthy...Dallas is going to fall back, they were frauds last year.

Knicks will be improved as well, but i don't think they have the guns to compete for the title

I don't think NY, Memphis or Denver will take it all this year either, and yeah... SA has some big "if's." But the Knicks, I think at this point, should be considered a top team in the East... but that's obviously a presumption as we haven't seen the new squad play together.

quick...name a guard or a back up on that team.....

exactly

they will be improved, and could win 50 games in a full season...but i don't view them as contenders

Landry Fields (SG) was one of the best rookies last year... I'd expect him to make some more appearances.

I just hope they win on Christmas so I can win the bet I've got on that game with the girlfriend.

i heard that paul was willing to exercise his option for 2013 upon a trade ... is he gonna do that or is he gonna just play the year out and leave the clips in shambles? ...

no one wants to play for the clippers...paul will be gone after this season...griffin will be gone...they might have some success this year, maybe even make the playoffs but it won't last

honestly i would love to see the clips be successful...25+ of shittiness is enough but with Sterling as owner nothing will change

see the team and move them to anaheim

and i'm still trying to figure out why people think the lakers are gonna tank...because odom is gone?

The Juggler

jason kapono will be the key to the lakers season.

no...because, right now, you're down a guy (odom)....fisher and metta are old....kobe is not happy (perhaps a positive :? )...and your boys got beat down in the playoffs last year ( for me!)
