Kerr never coached in Phoenix. He was the GM. I didn't think he was that bad of a GM.

He drafted Robin Lopez and Dragic.

Kerr was an awful GM. Suns were top of the conference midseason and he traded Marion for Shaq. They completely collapsed.

They didnt collapse the Spurs just outplayed them in the playoffs.
Kerr did a good job with what he was given and thats an owner who refused to pay to win and would sell 1st round picks so as not to pay rookies.

But Suns blew the #1 seed with Shaq. Can't remember how far they fell offhand.

yea they were upset but it was more because of Pop using Hack a Shaq like never before then anything else.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

1. Golden State
2. Clippers
3. San Antonio
4. Houston
5. Dallas
6. OKC
7. Portland
8. New Orleans

9= Memphis
9= Phoenix
9= Denver
9= Minnesota
9= Utah

14. Lakers
15. Sacramento

And Sacramento will be good enough to get homecourt in the East playoffs.

Edit: I'm not going to change it, but I think I might have the Clippers too high. Might bump them down a couple of spots.

Now that is bold! Love it!!

I don't agree, but I still love it.

Also, regarding Sacramento will they "be good enough" or will their "record be good enough"? Are you saying 15th record in west is a top 4 in the east?

I look forward to seeing your eastern standings. Something tells me chicago is #1 in your mind.

No what I'm saying is that the Suns ended up not the number 1 seed. They fell down the standings and into the matchup with SA.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Neither, really, it was just my way of saying the West is insanely tough. Sacramento would probably not quite make the Eastern playoffs, because they're a poorly put-together team of flashy but inefficient players, but they're certainly talented.

I look forward to seeing your eastern standings. Something tells me chicago is #1 in your mind.

Flatterer! I don't care enough about the East, is the problem. But yes, if I did, Chicago would probably be #1. Thibs has done it before, and the Cavs will take time to gel. But if the Cavs meet the Bulls in the playoffs, I wouldn't bet against the Cavs. The interesting questions is, who's #3? Probably Washington, but Atlanta might stand a chance.

[riverman]

There's a damned good reason I rule the bottom of the predictions list but Kerr did a great job and amazingly, Bogut and Curry stayed pretty healthy for a whole season. Losing Wes put a big dent in most predictions for the the good guys
