5 - MEM
6 - SAS

Now this seems more like reality. Kingspeed sorry but your living in a dream. I will say this but I do think Nuggets, and Kings could be sleepers in the west. I hate to say it but if Kobe can stay healthy the Lakers will be a playoff team.
 
I do like how everyone has the Lakers below the Blazers out of spite though.
 
How on earth is Phoenix better than us?

Chandler better than any big we have. Bledsoe similar level to Dame. Knight better than CJ. PJ more accomplished than any 3 and D player of ours. Alex Len a better defensive presence than any of our bigs. Heck I picked them to just miss the playoffs so who knows but I'd guess they finish above us.

Spite? Most Lakers fans would have the Lakers below the Blazers. The Lakers could be the worst team in the league.

Hahahahaha Chandler is washed up, all our bigs are better than him. Knight isn't better than CJ. Bledsoe's career high is like 32. Dame has eclipsed that many times.. Len isn't that much better defensively than Ed Davis and Noah Vonleh. We are way better than Phoenix.
 
If he answers that, then can you answer how we're better than 13 other teams? I think that's only fair.
We're the deepest most athletic team in the West (we're incredibly difficult to guard) but the Warriors are champs and have brought everyone back so I gave them #1 out of respect.
 
1. Kingspeed
2. riverman
3. BonesJones
4. Homeloveskoolaid
5. SlyPokerDog
6. BlazerDuckSeahawkFan
7. Strenuus
8. Whoever the other super homers are out there.

9. Haters
10. Negative Nancies
11. Sinobas
12. EGame
13-every other number in the book. MIXUM.

Rating of biggest homers who think we make the playoffs to all them negative kids ;)
Boob no More, Lamonster, UncleCliffy, Hailblazer and Orion are top 5 at least...should have known I'd lose out to a TV star

We've barely been scouted.
 
even by our own players
I bet they probably have a pretty good idea of each others game by now. That's why Dame brought everyone together over the summer. Obviously it will take the entire season to improve the teamwork, but I think they have a pretty good idea of what they've got by this point.
 
1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Clippers
4. Blazers
5. Thunder
6. Rockets
7. Grizzlies
8. Pelicans

9. Kings
10. Mavericks
11. Jazz
12. Suns
13. Timberwolves
14. Lakers
15. Nuggets

Utilize the wait-and-see approach. We haven't played 26 other teams yet.
 
Damn I looked over the updated depths charts for every team. What a total guess this will be.

I think the top 6 are legitimate contenders if healthy.

Then you have the Pelicans a notch below

Then another drop off for those fighting for the 8th spot.

And really there is not that much difference between the remaining 8 teams...at least on paper. The problem with evaluating them is some have old superstars that I am not sure if they have anything left in the tank. (i.e Dirk, Kobe, and KG) And other teams have some very young talent that who knows how much they have improved.

Here is how I see it:

1. Thunder
2. Clippers
3. Grizzlies
4. Rockets
5. Warriors
6. Spurs
----------------------
7. Pelicans
--------------------
8. Blazers
9. Kings
10. Jazz
11. Mavericks
-------------------
12. Minnesota
13. Suns
14. Lakers
15. Nuggets

1-13 I don't care
14 Blazers
15 Lakers.

I hope Im wrong, mind you.
 
I like Pinwheel1's general breakdown, but I think the order within each group is a total crap-shoot. 1-6 could finish in any order within that group, depending upon health. I think the Pelicans are a level above the 8-12 group. The 8-12 group has a talent advantage over 12-15.

What would we be saying about PHX if not for all those injuries? They had a good thing going.
