Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 But one thing you can say is that they predicted doom for Detroit and new Jersey two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Money Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hahaha...it's good to see some optimism, though. If we do end up that bad, at least we haven't traded away our 1st Rounder (Knock on wood). *drools over Okafor and Podkolzine* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beav Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Philly #8 Washington #15 Milwaukee #20 I expect Washington and Milwaukee to be in the bottom 5. Also Philly I expect no better than about #13 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 I feel their rankings are very flawed, and I suspect they are trying to slant things. There are some big questions on some of the playoff teams from the East. New Orleans was a very streaky and injury prone team last season that got to the playoffs largely due to Paul Silas's coaching. When those peaks and valleys hit, along with the annual injuries to Baron Davis and Jamal Mashburn, how are they going to respond to Tim Floyd? This is a team that could drop out of the playoffs. Philadelphia is a team that will probably make the playoffs largely due to Allen Iverson, but they will have chemistry problems between he and Glenn, and they hired an idiot for a head coach. The worst team in the league will still be either Cleveland, Toronto, or Denver. They may have some young talent (not in Toronto's case), but they are still young and untested. This is my rankings at this time: 01. San Antonio Spurs 02. Los Angeles Lakers 03. Sacramento Kings 04. Minnesota Timberwolves 05. Dallas Mavericks 06. New Jersey Nets 07. Detroit Pistons 08. Portland Trailblazers 09. Phoenix Suns 10. Houston Rockets 11. Orlando Magic 12. Indiana Pacers 13. Philadelphia 76ers 14. Seattle Supersonics 15. Boston Celtics 16. Golden State Warriors 17. New Orleans Hornets 18. Chicago Bulls 19. New York Knicks 20. Atlanta Hawks 21. Utah Jazz 22. Miami Heat 23. Los Angeles Clippers 24. Washington Wizards 25. Memphis Grizzlies 26. Milwaukee Bucks 27. Cleveland Cavaliers 28. Denver Nuggets 29. Toronto Raptors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyman3 Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 without any subtractions. - If MJ cant get his team ranked 15th in the league, how does anyone expect JERRY STACKHOUSE to do that? I know Arenas and Jarvis Hayes are good, but are they really better than the 40 year old hustling MJ? At best, they remain neutral (IMO). - Milwaukee is rebuilding... they dont have anyone capable of scoring 20 ppg. If u think our offense is going to be bad, look at MILWAUKEE! They're gonna be the new DENVER NUGGETS. - Wow! 1 LEBRON JAMES makes them 7th worse. So im guessin, 2 LeBron James makes them 14th worse? So 2 LBJs = playoffs according to these guys. - I think We should be about where New York is ranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
