LMAO! it is MY predictions and they look pretty damn good to me. Why should Minnesota have a better spot? they have NO chance at being better thn Utah or Denver and I think Seattle will surprise people this year so yeah Minnestota is right where they belong. And you have a problem w/ Lakers at 4? Lets see The Suns were better last regualr season and beat LA in the playoffs and they are getting Amare back umm safe to say they should be above, The Clippers had a better record and went farther in the playoffs last year and have another year of expierence and The Kings record w/ Artest last year was better than the Lakers, LA at 4th in pacific is right where they should be for now. And Indiana has got just as good as a chance as the Pistons and Cavs do, Losing Ben Wallace will hurt very bad and Im not so sure if the Cavs are deep enough. Why dont u post ur predictions and we will see who was more accurate at the end of the year, lol at jumping all over my predictions, lame.

The Pacers are one bad night at the club away from blowing the whole season. :D

lol yeah they have a share of off the court problems, but if we stay healthy watch out. And no matter what happens to us we are still always a lock to make the playoffs ;D

I had a hard time deciding the 8th seed in the east, I chose the Wizards over The Raps but I wouldnt be surprised at all if The Raps ended up grabbing one of the 6-8 seeds.

Why do people LOVE underestimating the Lakers? Do they enjoy the element of surprise, do they enjoy everyone telling them "I told you so" and "never doubt Kobe" all the time? Shit gets ridiculous sometimes, Lakers must be the only team that get placed lower in peoples predictions EVERY YEAR... ::)

well then IF they prove people wrong it will be all that much sweeter right? Who cares what people say...did anybody think the Cards could beat the Tigers?

But people are making the same exact mistake with the Lakers this year as they were last year...It's amazing how quickly people forget.

NIK I wouldnt be surprised if the Lakers ended up 2nd in the Pacific, but imo I think Sac, LAC, and the Suns will be better. Im not gona diss ur opinions if u put the Cavs and Bulls above the Pacers, cause it is opinions. I like the Lakers team but I'm being realistic here.

warriors WILL be in the playoffs my nigg.

I really hope they make it to. They have a good chance but I just dont see it happening, then again with Don Nelson who knows, they could be the surprise team of the year.

^^Yea...And what do you fools think now? :-*
I think Lamar played the type of game he should play ALL THE TIME! but he wont cuz when Kobe comes back hell take a backseat and not be as agressive as he should be. I will tell you MO Evans was a HUGE PICKUP! everyone talkin bout RADMAN, but Mo Evans was just as a big a pickup, the Lakers didnt have that typle of player before. And I would also say Bynum looked really nice. But its only 1 game. Long Season.
-
^^Yea...And what do you fools think now? :-*
lol it was a great win no doubt, still 81 games to go thoough :P
-
LOL@these punks never giving credit where its due...Odom was never this aggressive, not cuz of Kobe, but because he simply was never that type of player...His mind-state has changed, he is more mature now, and this is the Odom we'll be seeing from here on out...Also, LMAO@all the fools who quetioned me for saying Odom>Marion...::)

Go check the records i laughed at you saying he was better then Artest. And what do u mean give credit where credit is due? Lamar has never played this agressive before and you cant guarantee when Kobe comes back he keeps it up, but theres no guarantee he cant..We'll just have to wait and see because Lamar has shown flashes of brilliance before then the next game he does nothing...
And you dont know that for sure what i put in bold...But if that does become the case the Lakers will be VERY scary.

LMAO! what is this, lol at all these little shots at me, there are over 80 games to go calm down NIK. Stop calling people PUNKS cause their opinions differs from yours, you are so lame sometimes.
-
It is so stupid NIK how you call people punks and fools cause their opinions differ from yours, grow up man you arent Mr. Basketball, tons of people here know ball just as good or better than you do.

LOL@You ...Like I said, Odom has been playing like this since the second half of last season, including the playoffs... ::) Odom > Artest.

^^^ If I remember correctly, you guys were the ones who started dissing me and saying I'm ridiculous for claiming Odom>AK47 and even started a thread saying how biased I was for saying he was better when it's an extremely logical opinion...PeACe

Mo Evans reminds me of Caron Butler but with a worse jump shot. He is a guy you do not have to run offensive plays for.

LMFAO! I hope you're not talking about this season...Odom has been a FARRRRRR better player than Artest in opening week. Artest is shooting 30% from the field and 11% from 3 (YIKES!) for 16 points a game. Odom is shooting 54% from the field and 67% from 3 for 24 points a game... You don't watch basketball. :-*
-
LOL at NIK thinking Odom is better than Artest just because he is off to a better start this season, still 78 games to go NIK. I agree Artest's shooting and offense has been pathetic so far but his percentages will get much better, like I said still 78 games to go, and when Kobe gets back to his old self I promise you Lamar wont assert himself like he has been, Artest > Odom
-
and when Kobe gets back to his old self I promise you Lamar wont assert himself like he has been
^^Words of a true hater...LOL. Odom>Artest. It's a matter of opinion, so please stay off my nuts.
-
After watching opening week, my predictions have slightly changed (mainly in the east)...
-
lovin the people who have phila last in their division...get it right son!!! We takin it this year, this is tha year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
lovin the people who have phila last in their division...get it right son!!! We takin it this year, this is tha year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's something I would change in my prediction after opening weak, though every team in that division imrpoved this off-season...Sixers didn't change much and they sucked last year, so I figured they'd be the same team... :-\
