I predict that Sike smells like cinnamon...
(...or am I confusing "predict" and "fantasize" again???)

1. Rockets - no significant health issues until the 1st round of the playoffs when TMac and Yao collide for season-ending injuries...
2. Lakers - for some reason I keep envisioning Kobe missing 3 weeks after straining something during the All-Star game, but they still end up 2nd place... 3. Hornets - these guys are legit... 4. Jazz - these guys are too (as long as their team chemistry doesn't suffer any lockerroom/contract issues...) 5. Mavs - I like our chances when the Mavs are Underdog(')s... 6. Spurs - they're still the Spurs (but another year older... and Manu is going to miss 1/3 of the season!) 7. Trailblazers (<---stupid name, but they got game...) 8. Suns - the Nash/Shaq experiment = fail (but they still have Amare!)

1. Lakers
2. Jazz 3. Rockets 4. Hornets 5. Spurs 6. Mavericks 7. Suns 8. Blazers The only difficult choices in these ranking is 5-7, I feel that's pretty much our range as far as a playoff spot goes. But if my predictions are correct we'll get to play Housten in the first round... gotta like our chances there huh? |

Add me to the list of people jumping on the Blazers bandwagon...I know Oden is getting all the attention but I think Jerryd Bayless makes them a lot better.
