Richo dont be silly, Miami shouldnt be on that list, coz they wont even make the PLAYOFFS, let alone the Finals or win it all

ohh matty your gonna start getting on my nerves!

we're goin to the postseason baby, and without Wade we're gonna pull off what NYK did in '99. #8 seed to the finals baby, except this time we'll beat the Spurs!

Go gordon

Heat wont make the playoffs. lol i love seeing footage of Zo promising the people of Miami for back to back championships on the night of the ring ceremony and they got thumped by the bulls. It would be further salt to the wound if they couldnt even make the playoffs lol

It's Phoenix's year

 

[Richo]

Miami do look like making it......just, but they ain't a hope in hell of winning it Jimbo !

we'll always have a chance. nothing is impossible.

who the hell gave Chicago 3 votes.. hahaha, they couldn't even beat Detroit today..

 

[Dream34]

question- How are the seedings working this year after they changed it all after last season?

If they playoff started today how would the matchups look?

Just a question for all those who believe the Suns can/will win the championship. How many teams in the past who have won a championship, didn't play a lick of defence? Its pretty simple: defence = championship. History says so.

Division Leaders are only guaranteed a Playoff berth, no longer a top-3 spot. So as for last year, Denver got 3rd seed for winning division, but this year would be 8th seed (where they finished).

Lakers of the 80s ring a bell??

ok maybe they played a bit better d than the current suns but they had the same run n gun offense and parlayed it into multiple championships.

 

[Chris_paul]

I think the Mavericks will do it hey but I hope spurs will do it ! comon Timmy has the big fundamental got it?

Suns for me

Nash Marion and Amare

And with Barbosa, Bell and Diaw, theyve got the best 6-player rotation in the league

Having said that, an injury to any of those would really screw with their chances

Just becuase they had 'Showtime' didn't mean they didn't play defence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kareem anchored the interior defensively more than aptly.

Scoring the most points doesn't equate exactly to being the best. If I was going on the best, then it would have to the 6 best all rounded rotation; which is entirely debateable.

 

[cliffy21]

I voted Mavs but I have a feeling about the Spurs and the Bulls. Last playoffs I said that the Suns would eventually run out of juice because they just run and run. With Amare they are a bit more solid and in my opinion a team with a weak defence can find heart come crunch time but I can't see the Suns doing that as they rely on a few players which means 5 or 6 players would have to miraculously find some guts at the same time (unlikely).

 

[jimboiitmac]

Spurs are a dark horse. People have forgotten about them this season with all the commotion in the West, they will make noise.

 

[Cardshark]

mmmm har d to say but they will come from the west for sure

Thats what I thought but the other day on sports center they were talking different. They were saying the record only went to Home court advantage and the divison leader got the tops seeds. Not sure if they knew that the league changed it, and it made me second guess and think make it was being brought in next season.

I'm hoping it's that way cause I don't want to see the southwest going against each other in the 1st rd.
Hoping for a Utah vs Rockets or Rockets Lakers match up in the 1st

 

[Richo]

I'm confused can someone explain this ? I didn't know the playoffs had changed I just thought the higher team got the home court advantage !

 

[wjrwebber]

^If you win your division you have to automatically be a top 4 seed, regardless of w/l record. So its not unlikely to see the 4th and 5th seeds fighting it out with the 5th seed getting HCA. I think thats how it works anyways...
