1. DAL (Team is talk of the League) 2. LAL (Kobe will miss some games this year) 3. DEN (guessing Melo stays) 4. SAS (Duncan knee holds up...and Pops is Pops) 5. POR (No Oden - Pryz back in January - Roy stays healthy and Matthews is a +) 6. HOU (Yao contributes) 7. PHO (Nash is Nash) 8. UTA (Sloan is Sloan) Outside looking in = SAC
I generally like to make predictions towards the end of training camp, but I'll give it a go. 1. LAL 2. POR 3. DAL 4. DEN 5. SAS 6. OKC 7. HOU 8. MEM
Lakers Dallas Spurs Utah Houston OKC Blazers Suns (I'm assuming Melo gets traded. I'm also assuming that Oden doesn't do much for us this year and that Camby goes down at some point. I'm probably overvaluing the Spurs, because it's unlikely they stay healthy, and undervaluing OKC just because I'm sick of the hype. I'm also assuming that the worst Western playoff team gets 50 wins or damn near.) (Also, which is it:"Conferenced" or "Conferenece"?)
