|
On top of the world until proven otherwise. Then again, anything is possible, right? |
|
2 |
|
An NBA Finals club welcomes Andrew Bynum to the mix. If healthy, watch out. |
|
3 |
|
Young, but the Posey addition better equips them for Western Conference contention. |
|
4 |
|
The only thing that should hold this team back is health. |
|
5 |
|
The older, the wiser. Don’t sleep on San Antonio; they’re still a threat. |
|
6 |
|
They may not have enough to get it done, but they’ll hang around. |
|
7 |
|
Other teams could leap ahead, but the battle-tested Pistons won’t go out quietly. |
|
8 |
|
The addition of Mo Williams could push Cleveland back into elite status. |
|
9 |
|
Quality club, but don’t expect much more than last season’s outcome. |
|
10 |
|
As Howard progresses, the team will continue to grow. Slowly, but surely. |
|
11 |
|
If O’Neal remains healthy, the Raptors can make some noise right away. |
|
12 |
|
They’ve got a new coach and plenty of tools, but is the West too strong? |
|
13 |
|
Philly is on the rise, and the addition of Brand could produce immediate results. |
|
14 |
|
A .500 club out West adds Oden & Bayless. They’re playoff-bound, if healthy. |
|
15 |
|
Right where they belong – annual mediocrity. |
|
16 |
|
Lots of shake-ups, but is it enough? Rising teams like Portland say otherwise. |
|
17 |
|
They’ll surely provide eye-candy, but will they produce enough victories? |
|
18 |
|
Sans Camby, this could very well be the worst defensive team of all-time. |
|
19 |
|
With the East’s improvements, a win total in the high-30’s might do the job for a berth. |
|
20 |
|
Wade is back, this time with a stud rookie, but the holes at PG and C scare me. |
|
21 |
|
Coach Brown should begin to push the Cats in the right direction. Surprise team? |
|
22 |
|
They play hard, but they simply don’t have enough firepower. |
|
23 |
|
With added youth and the East’s improvements, Indy may win fewer games. |
|
24 |
|
They sure look better on paper, but this isn’t a video game. The Bucks a mess. |
|
25 |
|
Young and promising, but poorly constructed with a rookie PG and coach. |
|
26 |
|
Expect a few extra wins, but all in all, that just nets them a lower 2009 draft pick. |
|
27 |
|
The most randomly assembled NBA roster has nothing but 2010 to look forward to. |
|
28 |
|
Very promising, but also very inexperienced in a deep conference/division. |
|
29 |
|
Mike D’Antoni’s system + Eddy Curry + Zach Randolph = all you need to know. |
|
30 |
|
See Memphis’ explanation, then factor in less overall talent. |
