I got 2, Golden state and the wiz. I expect t wolves or hornets to make the playoffs if not both but dont really consider them a surprise cause I think wolves shouldve made it last year and the hornets just got alot better. G.s. And the wiz both have nice well constructed teams inside and out. Watch out for the kings too, just so many pieces I dont know if it can work on the court. They may need to make 1 trade. Move tyreke and get a veteran shooter and bet the house on cousins and robinson.
ReplyDeleteTo le has to be mil bucks because they have brandon and ellis an d they have a bretty good team to me is them to be the surprise team This season
ReplyDeleteFor me the timberwolves bc of rubio coming back and the afdition of two russians whom play well in the olympics.. Secondly the nets
ReplyDeleteThe heat
ReplyDeleteIf the nets can make it work I think they will be the surprise team of the season because they have a very good starting 5 on paper and a deep bench.
ReplyDeleteI think it would b phoenix and timberwolves! I would love to say the nets but for some reason everybody expect them to go far, but ill put em as suprise team. Phoenix with scola and beasly it should b a big help, theyll make it to the playoffs, and minesota has rubio and love is hungry plus now they have roy(lets see if he can produce). Those are my suprise teams
ReplyDeleteJay-
No one expects the nuggets to win they pick up andre igudala. They got wilson chandler and gallinari playing the 3. I expect ty lawson have his best season with javale mcgee. Of course kenneth fahried will be better this season being last season was his rookie year. there just as good as la being alooot faster and younger.
ReplyDeleteAgree^^^^^^
ReplyDeletewow u boys r really goung out on a limb here. Nuggets and nets? Come on man everybody knows there gonna b n the playoffs and the heat? Lol Yea a surprise when they ass dont make it out the east! But come on people its a good question. Who r ya surprise teams ?
DeleteI was just saying the heat to fuck the you preech cause u know they will take those 2013clowns rings..&u i agreed to the nuggets to fuck with you as well...just cause we all know they will go further then LA Lackers...magee and the manimal dont give a fuck about a howard or gasol. But thats not what this is about. But I agree with you about the wiz..& I live in Dc so its nice to have something to cheer about out here. But I say Sacramento & the bulls. I say the u bulls cause everyone thinks they are done woth out d rose. But there defense and there coaching will have them in the playoffs 4sure
ReplyDeleteBulls aint done but I just dont like that roster come playoff time. And I like the nuggets 2. They can possibly b top 4 team n the west but they aint fucking wit the lakers.
DeleteKings off top......
ReplyDeleteSuprise team Timberwolves: They added plenty of depth and brought Rubio back. Not to mention with Beasley out of the picture Williams will get more minutes and can really improve this year.
ReplyDeleteBut my most improved team is the Nets hands down. They have possibly become a threat over night. If they can stay healthy and share the ball I think they could be a real threat in the East.
And just to clarify the Heat vs. Lakers debate, the Lakers would win that match up. Neither team has much depth but the Lakers are pretty much built to beat the Heat. I am personally a fan of neither team but based on match ups the Lakers would win. They have the best team oriented point gaurd, the most clutch player at shooting gaurd, they best all around defender in World Peace, one of the best passing big men with Gasol and the best center in the league. They got what the Heat desperately needed.
ima repeat that. He said built to beat the heat....and hes absolutely mf'n right!
DeleteWorld peace retarded ass can't do shit with lebron
DeleteLittle fun fact for you. When the Heat and Lakers played last year Lebron scored 8 points while World Peace was gaurding him. Of course he ended with more than 8 points because he plays a lot more minutes than World Peace but I just thought I should share that with you. In my opinion World Peace is highly underrated at both ends of the floor
DeleteWorld peace can't guard lebron point blank period
DeleteThe Rockets!!! They got bigs and now decent gaurdd to put the team together... if the dont trade K.Mart to soon then they will make a playoff run if.they dont get the Lakers.or Thunder forst round
ReplyDeleteAnd no dount the Hornets this year.or next year will become a Power House!! Especially since they.added the 2 rookies in Davis and Rivers...then Lopez to top them off in the post
ReplyDelete76ers and nuggets. Both teams have a lot of depth. Sixers got younger and can run the court with shooters. Nuggets are going to be an amazing defensive team and they have an all around good team with good players
ReplyDeleteIma go with the rockets .. they have some nice rookies they drafted Jeremy Lamb, Terrence Jones, and Royce white. Also with the addition of 7 foot Omar Asik who i think is going to have a Breakout season. He doesn't have to be in the shadow of Noah anymore. Chandler Parsons is going to shock the world mark my word and Gary Forbes,Toney Douglas, Carlos Delfino, are some ok pickups as well. I think if they could trade Kevin Martin for James Harden or someone it could make the team a little better.
ReplyDeleteI say the Bucks. There undersized in backcourt compared to an mia or okc , but I think since there gonna have a whole preseason & season to work together instead of a half season...basically. Monta and jennings should be scoring machines together, they both get busy by theyselves but if thy chemistry is rite.So Together they should have double the production. Plus the addition of a decent center in S dalembeat & J Pryszbilla at back up center.and drew at PF his natural position. There my surprise team and should have good run as long as everyones stays healthy. 7 or 8 seed easy.
ReplyDeleteQB
Clippers for sure
ReplyDeleteLol the guy above me is a fag
ReplyDeleteDude shut up ur the one always suckin on lebrons dick,,u should be the last one talkin about fags u fuckin faget bandwagon
DeleteI think the mavs will be better than expected. They got younger and more athletic, and rick carlisle is a good coach to blend it all together.
ReplyDeleteDid people forget about the knicks
ReplyDeleteDont sleep on the C's... Return of Jeff Green, signing the Jet and Courtney Lee was a nice addition, with Rondo running the floor with KG running the D i think they will be another major threat but with no hype... Avery Bradley is looking a v nice player too. As long as they keep a C healthy.
ReplyDeleteGolden State: they got deep in the off season!!! They have a top 5 center if healthy top 3 in Bogut, DLee is gonna have a monster year having to pair with Bogut in the frontcourt, Steph always get better and Klay will do the same, carl landry and j.jack will make the 2nd unit respectable, barnes and jefferson will hold down the 3 spot and the rookies will be good, that 7th seed looks good to me
ReplyDeletetop 5 top 3 center in bogut? Really? When has that bum ever played like a top 5 center? He's another robin Lopez who can shoot lol
DeleteDoes anyone have a good recipe for fried clams?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Phoenix Suns?
ReplyDeleteI alreday mention them
DeleteHornets
ReplyDeleteFor the west I'm gonna say Denver and for the east 2 teams Pacers and Knicks. But one thing is for sure it's gonna ne a damn good season!
ReplyDeletePhili, cleveland, charlotte
ReplyDeleteClint
Bobcats and Detroit desperate move for them lol
