1. San Antonio Spurs
2. New Orleans Hornets
3. Dallas MavericksDear guys, keep it close while I think of something. Your pal, Mark Cuban. After a 2-7 start, they finished 48-25 under underrated Coach Rick Carlisle and upended the Spurs in the first round. With Dirk Nowitzki fond of Cuban and looking for reasons to stay, they gave Jason Kidd, 36, a three-year deal and acquired Marion. That should keep them up there, if not too far. 4. Houston RocketsWell at least this year the Rocket's don't have to worry weather or not Yao is gonna be healthy or not, it was a solid "no" before the season even started. T-Mac also looks like he will be gone for the majority of the season. Ron Artest is gone and the championship contending rockets are quickly fading into the backdrop. Injuries have desimated the Rockets and I am expecting them to miss the playoffs for the first time in a long while. 4. Memphis GrizzliesThe Grizzlies, the perennial "bottom-feeders" of the West. This team is very inexperienced and I highly doubt that the addition of an aging Allen Iverson will change that. This team is surely learning and I think if they can keep future superstars O.J. Mayo and Marc Gasol they will be in the playoff race in the near future. |
