How do you think they will do this year with Rick Carlisle at the helm? I think they'll be much better with a hard, defensive-minded coach to go along with Dirk and Co. Kidd is a bit old, but still a smart player. The Rockets.....they could be really good with their own big-3...like NBA Finals good if Yao can stay healthy. Spurs....not so much.
The Spurs always find a way to be right up there. And plus, the whole odd number championship year thing. The Rockets look good on paper, but we'll see how Tmac and Yao hold up health wise. If they're banged up all year, thats going to hurt them quite a bit I have to see more of the Mavs...they're a much different team with Kidd in place of Harris...and now they've got a new coach on top of that. They've got a lot of talent though.
