Conference Power Rankings

[JazzGM-old]

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.

[BucksGM]

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.

[ClippersGM-old]

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...

Thanks WarriorsGM. 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.

[GoldenStateGM]

Thanks WarriorsGM. 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.

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.
