My NBA playoffs 2010 possibilities

[the sauna]

pacers WILL make the playoffs

 

[MVP]

You have got to be joking, the NUGGETS??? Anyway when the offseason stuff quiets down (specifically where LO and Boozer end up going) I'll make my picks.

They have six reliable 3pt shooters, great bigs, good close and mid range shooters, good passer, but a weak d. Then there's the magic with Nelson, Carter, Lewis, bass, and Howard with a good bench of pietrus, barnes, Anderson, gortat, and redick. They have knock down shooters, good bigs, and a decent defense. I see the magic better then the cavs right now. I didn't forget about Boston who in my eyes are the team to beat with a possible starting rotation of rondo, Allen, pierce, KG, and sheed. They have Perkins, Davis, house, and powe of the bench and maybe but not likely Maurbury. They are the best team if they are healthy and I see them winning the 2010 finals the 2 teams on the rise are the raptors who have derozen, Jack, and turkolu added to their roster could be a 4 or5. Also the hawks have the same starters with added help off the bench from Crawford and teague the Miami heat could be a huge contender at the 4 seed if they resign moon, pick up odom, and trade wright and haslem for c booze. They would have chalmers, Wade, odom, boozer, JO with cook, head, jones, Quinn, magloire, and Anthony. The west has 4 power houses from LA, Dallas, Denver, and SA. LA adds artest but losses odom but they are still the team to beat. Dallas picks up Marion, mullen, and Ross to help get them back to the finals. The nuggets did not change much but they have the energy from birdman and mr big shot supporting melo to put him in the talks with wade and lebron who have made it to the finals from the 03 draft class. The spurs add very inmportant youth in Jefferson and Blair meanwhile they picked up mcdyess to to try to get them back to the finals one last time for Timmy d. Those are my predictions thanks for reading and let me know what u hink is gonna happen this season. Sorry if my grammer is bad I'm on my iPhone in my car and haven't reviewed my post.

Stopped reading after this.

Damn training camp hasn't even started yet. I wouldn't even make predictions until the rosters are set.

 

[410fresh]

Golden state obviously aren't gonna run 10 guards come on! And the one guy with the magic nuggets is way wrong by saying the heat won. Make playoffs!

do people not realize that the Wizards are the 4th best team in the East by a wide margin?

^thats only IF healthy, and tahts an huge if.
i completely forgot about the pistons though.
and

at those predictions..

 

[i nasmatic i]

Meh, I'm bored.

West
1. Lakers (assuming they can re-sign Odom)
2. Spurs (new additions solidify themselves as the second best in the west)
3. Blazers (another year under their belt can only help)
4. Nuggets (they'll fall off a bit from last season)
5. Mavs (Marion helps, but they still need help in the interior)
6. Jazz (depending on Boozer, could go up or down a few seeds)
7. Hornets (have been quiet thus far due to financial constraints)
8. Clippers (I know I'm going to regret this decision come December)

East
1. Magic (pure talent gets them the top seed in the east)
2. Celtics (may coast the regular season to conserve energy)
3. Cavs (Shaq and Parker will help more in the playoffs than regular season)
4. Hawks (not much better or worse than last season)
5. Wizards (provided the team stays healthy)
6. Pistons (too much talent to be lower than a 6 seed)
7. Heat (Wade carries the Heat again, Beasley breaks out)
8. Raptors (just nudge out the other 4-5 teams for the last seed)
