OT: Rank These Seven Teams - In Order

[ABM]

In other words, how they'll stack up at the end of the season..

I'll start:

Utah
LA Clippers
Oklahoma City
New Orleans
Sacramento
Memphis
Golden State

I guess my point is, these seven teams appear to be very closely matched. One might argue that you could legitimately stack them any which way.

What is the point of these seven teams? Not trying to be a jerk, it just seems lke their is going to be a followup poll or something. Worst team in the WC, fighting with us for playoff positioning?? Maybe too much champagne, but I am not getting it.

I suppose my real point is, to me, these teams might all be fighting for that remaining 8th spot. In fact, you may even be so inclined to throw the Blazers into that mix, as well.

Utah (most complete team of the group from top to bottom & well coached)
Oklahoma City (best road record of the group)
Sacramento (Lots of fire power, even more when Martin/Garcia come back)
LA Clippers (if Griffin comes back & stays healthy they go up with Utah. Should trade Camby)
Memphis (Talented young team looks great some nights. Poor defensively though)
New Orleans (Chris Paul can only do so much. If he gets hurt . . . )
Golden State (Terrible defense, no rebounding, maybe Biedrins coming back helps . . . )

The West is so tough it's a joke.

im starting to think 45 wins might get u a playoff spot in west

 

[Nikolokolus]

Oklahoma City
Utah
Memphis
New Orleans
Sacramento
LA Clippers
Golden State

OKC will be a playoff team in my opinion. They are playing great defense and finally their offensive efficiency seems to be climbing.

 

[MIXUM]

ive said this many times ...

the teams we want to lose on a nightly basis... okc, utah, hornets, kings

thats who will be fighting for the 7-8 seeds with us.

okc utah and portland will get 2 of those spots. right now its anyones guess. i think the hornets will be lotto bound and the kings are okc part 2 of last year. a young team on the rise.

darkhorse is grizz but they play zero defense...

 

[Public Defender]

Top two teams - experience counts... they'll win games down the stretch:
Utah
New Orleans

Next three - most talented:
Oklahoma City
LA Clippers
Memphis

Last - these are bad teams:
Sacramento
Golden State

Memphis is a lot better than I had been giving them credit for. Who knows, Z-Bo may have found himself a nice home there. Plus, it's no big deal whenever he finds himself in trouble in the downtown sector.
