i dont think utah will fall quite as far as everyone thinks they will but i do think theyll miss the playoffs

 

There is no way that Utah, Los Angeles Clippers, or Denver will be better than Memphis.

Check out this lineup -

C - Kandi
PF - Pau Gasol
SF - Mike Miller
SG - DerMarr Johnson
PG - Jason Williams

Key Backups -

Troy Bell
Dahntay Jones
Shane Battier
Stromile Swift
Earl Watson
Brevin Knight

 

mmm....theyll be better but the clippers are going to be better to if they keep brand. the jazz still have most of the players that have been gettinmg them to the playoffsin the recent years. they didnt depend on sotckton and malone THAT much

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post"> they didnt depend on sotckton and malone THAT much</div>They depended on Malone and Stockton 90% of the time.

 

naw man. Ak47, Harpring, Ostertag are ready to step up. the bench isnt that bad either. they have they experience they know how ot get to the playoffs. memphis is really young. u don t even know how theyre oging to play together. i dont think theyre ready to go the playoffs or be ebtter than the jazz

 

1. Lakers
2. Dallas
3. Sacto
4. San Antonio
5. Minnesota
6. Portland
7. Phoenix
8. Houston
9. Memhis
10.Utah
11 Golden State
12 Denver
13 Seattle
14 LA Clippers

The 8 spot is up for grabs though, Houston-Utah have a realistic chance, Golden State and Denver an outside chance, Seattle and LA almost no chance at all.

 

Hmm

Lakers
Kings
Mavs'
Spurs
T-Wolves
Suns
Portland
Rockets
Warriors
Seattle
Jazz
Grizzlies
Nuggets
Clippers

 

Hey Olskool- I was curious- Greg Ostertag is entering his 9th season in the league. He has little mobility or athleticism and a distinct lack of touch around the basket. He's a career 4.9 ppg scorer who is a very poor rebounder for his size (5.6 rpg for his career at over seven feet) and never completed a season in which Jerry Sloan saw him fit to average 30 minutes a game- even though Utah has not had an above average starting center since his rookie year. In fact the only area he rates at 'average' or better in is as a shot-blocker.

What makes you think he's ready to step up now?

if gilbert arenas returns expect the warriors in the playoffs

 

Even if arenas returns warriors will still unlikely make the playoffs

 

..i think they can do it if he returns. they're a young team and were close to making it this season

 

I think the Sonics have a better chance, they've got Ray Allen.
