A lot of teams in the west have secured a spot in the playoffs.

1) The Nuggets, K-mart has made them a contender now.
2) The Rockets, you know why
3) The Jazz, picked up Okur and Boozer
4) Spurs, Brent Barry can back up Parker and Ginobli and shoot 3\'s
5) Kings
6) T-wolves

The Mavs and have a better shot than the Lakers. Lakers lost Fisher (a big piece of the team imo) Karl Malone, SHAQ (Miami got the best of) and now the team is runned by Kobe. And then theres the Suns who I think we do well with Steve Nash.

And Brian Grant hardly owns,  hes mediocre. And that is a huge hole left in the Lakers now.


The rockets roster looks rather weak save t-mac and yao. The mavs look rather weak to me too. But I do agree the nuggest look good. As for the spurs I think berry is a step down from turk, but at least they got somebody who can still shoot. And there team is still  basicly the same.

 I am the number 1 kobe fan and I will say they can make a run for 7th or 8th. Man what a downgrade. Jazz failed to make the playoffs last season while boozer is decent okur is not much of force. So it will be interesting you never know what will happen.

Turkoglu vs. Barry

Hedo is Hedon\'t.... He choked in the playoffs big time, and the team had to pamper him to get his confidence up.

well I liked turk ever since he was with the kings. And I thought they should have never let him go. He fit well with the kings. He did not have his best season with spurs but I think he will do great with the magic.

Never cared much for berry. He will be good off the bench for them I guess.

You left out the most valuable person of all on that team.



Find me someone in basketball better at getting a lot out of little talent.

You must be the ultimate spurs fan? While berry is a decent player he is not the massiah.

And he won\'t save the spurs. Like I said he will be good for that team but come on now you act as if they signed a superstar or something.

The Spurs have a system. And when the system is complete you cant beat it, and Turkoglu left out his role of 3 point shooting during the playoffs. If the Spurs had just hit their 3\'s then the Lakers would have never gone past them and thats the truth. Also, they were lacking in a good backup point gaurd. BOOM. Brent Barry takes care of both of those.


System complete. ;)

And a team of superstars doesnt make a good team, its chemistry.

I\'m sorry buddy but Brent Barry sucks. You\'re getting excited over nothing.

I was being sarcastic. But if you want honesty; I would rather have Grant on my squad than Barry.

Divac is an idiot. He left Sacramento because he wanted to win, and went to the Lakers. Stupid, real stupid.
