The Hornets are 8th in the West, and almost made the playoffs last year, when injuries hit them bad (CP3, David West, BJax). They should be right there. Who would you put ahead of them?</p>
Not that bad of rankings.</p> They put the Nets low, but they give good reason, and I understand that. Hey, at least the Knicks aren't ahead of them.</p>
Warriors at 9? They barely got into the playoffs last year. Talk about overrated. Do they actually expect Baron Davis to stay healthy the entire year? Its not gonna happen.</p> </p>

I'd put the Wiz ahead of them, they were a very good team before the injuries. You can also make a arguement for the Lakers.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GArenas)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Marc Stein, thanks for your reason for placing the Wizards at 17.....</p> </div></p> </p> Wow, completely missed the Wizards and Warriors. put wizards in top 16, take warriors out.</p>
I agree, the Warriors should be bumped down a bit and the Wiz definitely shouldn't be that low. Every ranking I've seen seems to disagree with me, but there's no way I put the Cavs that high until they get that Varajeo/Pavlovic situation figured out. Even with them they're barely a contender this year, IMO. Also, I don't see how acquiring Ricky Davis warrants pushing the Miami Heat up 7 spots. I'd also probably put the Magic just below the Raptors and Nets.</p>
