Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: NetsGM on July 17, 2005, 07:54:03 PM East:
1) Raptors 2) Nets 3) Hornets 4) Pacers 5) Magic 6) Bulls 7) Pistons 8.) Bucks (my surprise team this year). West: 1) Jazz (great tc, great draft) 2) Mavs (I realize seeding can't be like this, just talking power rankings) 3) Clippers 4) Wolves 5) Warriors 6) Sonics 7) Suns 8.) Nuggets Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: RaptorsGM on July 17, 2005, 08:02:58 PM Well, thanks.
I'm not so sure. Thrilled with Yao, will be option #1. Peja should be a fantastic 2nd option. Wonder if Baron can handle being the 3rd option ALONE this year, as I expect Mihm's offense to suffer greatly. But hey...wonder where Springs would have went in the draft with his current ratings. That was a great, great pick for me. Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: BullsGM-old on July 17, 2005, 08:04:13 PM I'd take 6th in the East
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: KingsGM-old on July 17, 2005, 08:04:55 PM I'm 100 % i'll make the playoffs, despite recent disaster.
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: NetsGM on July 17, 2005, 08:06:25 PM Yao might be the best player in the league. that alone got you the ranking. and the fact that nobody else, IMO, is ready to challenge. Although the magic might be close. howard and kidd are beasts.

I'd put you around 6th. Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: GoldenStateGM on July 17, 2005, 08:13:30 PM Thanks for the vote of confidence... Hope my team can live up to it :)
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: SunsGM on July 17, 2005, 09:39:18 PM Glad to be listed among the Potential Favorite playoff teams.
Hope that my offseason, and the improvement in my key young players translate into a reemergance into the playoffs Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: JazzGM-old on July 17, 2005, 10:27:17 PM I don't know how much I like it at the top, the mavs might still have me edged out, but now the pressure is on me to continue winning which is sometimes harder than trying to climb the ladder.

Although the magic might be close. howard and kidd are beasts. Yeah, I was pretty happy with his TC. But now at the 2/3 my defense is only B- B+. That could be a problem.

Bucks (my surprise team this year). i think the wizards should be a top 5 team and i am not so sure if the pistons are better than cavs and sixers West: 1) Jazz (great tc, great draft) 2) Mavs (I realize seeding can't be like this, just talking power rankings) 3) Clippers 4) Wolves 5) Warriors 6) Sonics 7) Suns 8.) Nuggets the wolves should be number one imo they had a great FA/Draft and should be the team to beat this year. But maybe gatling is really like AI and will shoot more than pass. the sonics aren´t ready for a PO run imo. i believe the grizz and the kings will keep them out. Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: SixersGM on July 18, 2005, 07:50:50 AM Dabods has personal hatred against me.
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: PacersGM on July 18, 2005, 08:18:20 AM Quote from: SixersGM Dabods has personal hatred against me. i don´t think so. it is just that you are playing with the same team now for many years and every year you had troubles to reach the POs.

Im adding you on that list right now.. Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: NetsGM on July 18, 2005, 10:05:18 AM And yeah, the Wiz should probably be in there. His inactivity (and subsequent loss of Chamberlain) hurt though.

You know i always stood by your side and you've been my best friend here since day 1! :P

Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: RaptorsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:04:33 PM You heard it here first - I predict Raptors vs. Warriors in the finals.
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: JazzGM-old on July 18, 2005, 09:08:15 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM You heard it here first - I predict Raptors vs. Warriors in the finals. They still gotta get through the Jazz :) Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: RaptorsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:08:58 PM man, I love your team. But I have never seen a repeat Champ in all of my years of FBB :)
Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: SonicsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:18:28 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM man, I love your team. But I have never seen a repeat Champ in all of my years of FBB :) In three years, there have been six different conference champs. Not even a repeat there.... Jazz Pacers Grizzlies Pistons Heat Supersonics Talk about parody. Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: RaptorsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:20:01 PM Not "parody", "Parity".
And I'm not laughing at you - trust me - I made that same mistake for 3 years :) "Parody" is a type of Shakespere play :) Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: SonicsGM on July 18, 2005, 09:23:30 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM Not "parody", "Parity". And I'm not laughing at you - trust me - I made that same mistake for 3 years :) "Parody" is a type of Shakespere play :) I can't believe that I wrote that. Yes, you are correct...parity. Anyways, look for a new pair of finalists.... ...celtics vs trailblazers... Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: GoldenStateGM on July 18, 2005, 10:55:13 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM You heard it here first - I predict Raptors vs. Warriors in the finals. Love the idea.... I think the Clippers are going far this year. Childress is one his way to being a top 5 SF, Gordon is incredible, and the three headed monster of Chandler, Brand, and Kwame is really good... Title: Conference Power Rankings Post by: JazzGM-old on July 18, 2005, 11:03:32 PM first time for everything, and I very much overachieved last season and this was supposed to be my year as it is. My team is built exactly how I like it.
Title: Re: Conference Power Rankings Post by: BucksGM on July 19, 2005, 12:46:56 AM Quote from: NetsGM East: 8.) Bucks (my surprise team this year). Dabods - My surprise prognostication this year. Although I guess with Donta Smith improving offense/defense, Collier improving defense/rebounding and Harpring improving defense, 3 of my starters having good TCs is a step in the right direction.

And you did not even talk about Maggette. But I know it will be very difficult. I think I will have to battle with Utah, Golden State and Dallas for that finals spot. Also Minnesota will be good.

But I know it will be very difficult. I think I will have to battle with Utah, Golden State and Dallas for that finals spot. Also Minnesota will be good. Utah, of course, the defending champs with the one of the best TC's in the league. Be interesting to see how AK's drop in rebounding changes the team. Dallas will finally be playing Nowitzki at his natural PF spot, making him the best offensive player in the game, imo, especially with his inside jump to A-. Damp dropped to an A- defender this year, but Dallas has more offense on their roster then any team in the league. Minnesota looks great 1-4... Alston, Gatling, KVH, KG, with Flip as a back-up now, incredible scoring in that lineup. Have to see how their center situation works out. |
