Who should be top 10 on updated power rankings?

[kobelamarjackson]

1) Miami (Champs)
2) Phoenix (Nash, Diaw, Marion, Amare, Barbosa, Banks, Jones, Bell) - all great players
3) San Antonio (Parker, Manu, Duncan) - best trio in bball.
4) Dallas (Will not be as good as last year)
5) Detroit (even without ben wallace, they are an incredible force)
6) Indiana (Tinsley, Jackson, Granger, Harringon, Oneal) - one of the best starting lineups in the league.
7) LA Clippers (Cassel, Mobley, Maggette, Brand, Kaman) - in my opinion the best starting lineup in the league.
8) NJ Nets (Kidd is old but still effective, they had the best draft) Boone, Williams, Adams
9) Sacramento (Bibby, Salmons, Artest, Rahim, Miller) - that is one scary lineup.
10) Washington (Butler, Arenas, Jamison) - second best trio in bball.

sleepers: jazz, bulls, hornets, lakers
everybody who put houston in their top 10 is a moron. houston has been worthless since franchise left. there is no chance the rockets will make the playoffs this year.

how can the mavs not be as good as last year? What do they have going against them? They just got playoff experience added more depth and did some decent trades.

Also so much for that jermaine o'neal to dallas trade

[Pharmacists84]

1. Dallas- Most players returning from last years squad.

2. San Antonio- With Duncan and Ginobli healthy, they will challenge for the championship once again.

3. Miami- Look to repeat

4. Phoenix- With Amare back, may be the best team in the league.

5. Hornets- No team improved more in the offseason than the hornets with peja, BJ, chandler, armstrong, and simmons.

6. New Jersey- With Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson name a team with 3 better players.

7. Detroit- Lost great players from last years team.

8. Indiana- With Harrington, O'Neal, and Granger they have one of the best frontcourts in the league.

9.Orlando- Will only get better from last year.

10. Chicago/Memphis/LA Clippers- All improved somewhat in the offseason.

Bubble teams: Utah, Minnesota, and Atlanta

MVP: CHRIS PAUL

[Targus]

5. Sacramento - A talented team that made a good coaching change. Ron Artest must play the full season, they won't miss Bonzi, he was only playing for a contract in the playoffs

exactly. thank you.

[LakersDynasty]

LOL @ Chris Paul winning MVP

[XxNeXuSxX]

1 - Phoneix - Add Amare and keep the core for a second year.
2 - Dallas - I don't like Dallas but they re-tooled and got better.
3 - Miami - Champs But they aren't a great regular season team
4 - San Antonio - There trio of players in second to none when it come to winning.
5 - Cleveland - LeBron. Maybe a healthy season for Hughes and Varejao.
6 - Clippers - Still lookig for Maggette to be traded but great team Cassel will win he always does.
7 - Detriot - They aren't the last yrs Pistons but in the East are a 50 win team
8 - Chicago - Could end up higher but we haven't seen them play together yet.
9 - Houston - Yao and TMac will win 50 games. Health is always a risk
10 - New Jersey - Kidd.Carter.Richardson In the East will finish in the top 4.

Sounds great, maybe sub out NJ for a Minny

MVP: CHRIS PAUL

this just in! chris paul will not be a rookie next season! also, the beatles broke up!

[Targus]

6. New Jersey- With Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson name a team with 3 better players.

I'd take the Kings' Bibby, Artest, and Shareef over Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson.

Wait no Suns, Lakers, Rockets, Bulls, but Warriors at 5 and Knicks at 6? Cavs are 3rd? Ignorance is bliss.
