Chicago Bullsi agree but would rank New Orleans ahead of Denver. Tougher division and they have managed to keep winning despite the fact that their players have missed a combined 240+ games due to injury. Assuming they get healthy by the playoffs (which they are scheduled to), I think the Hornets are the better team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cism ™© Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Portland is too young to get the 2 seed, they have the easiest schedule out of everyone though but I just cant buy them getting that 2 but they will win the NW & get home court in the first round. Their home record is incredible & they have a top 4 closer which will help their inexperience so I can see them getting out of the first round.Houston is the second best team in the west & I believe they actually have the best shot at the Lakers. I am sold on them, great ball club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sold on them, great ball club.I dont think Houston can take Lakers in a series. I am sold on Portland for some reason, yes they're young, but they have a lot of depth at key positions and have enough to beat the Lakers and have proven that before.

Cism ™© Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Houston does have a habit of tanking in the playoffs thoyeah but I honestly think this year is going to be different because they seem more complete to me for some reason.I think Artest has been huge for them.. however if things do end up how I think I dont know that they can get by Utah, I think Hou is the better team but Utah has abused them for years & that **** can wear on them.if im Houston I am hoping Dallas goes on a streak & someone slips a bit so they can get that 2 & play Dallas at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 3 teams are the teams that are the biggest threat to them IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdot falcon Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 the Hornets schedule is brutal the rest of the wayvs Denver -should win @ New York -should win vs San Antonio -have homecourt but SA is always dangerous@ Sacramento -should win @ LA Clippers -should win@ Golden State -should win vs Utah -have homecourt. Utah has owned us lately but they're not as good on the road.@ Miami -should win vs Phoenix -should win@ Dallas -Road game but I think we should pull this one out. Paul has owned the Mavs. vs Dallas -should win @ Houston @ San Antonio The last 2 games are what I think it comes down too. If we pull out one of them I think we get the 2 seed.

They're better than those teams, but winning 7-out-of-8 road games in the NBA isn't very easy. They can pull it off, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anansi 2.0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 miami over hawks? cmon man they are 3 games back, plus we have lots of home games left.Though I don't want it to happen, it's possible. Our next 3 games are as followed: Spurs, Celtics, Lakers it's possible that we lose all three of those games though I believe we will go 2-1 over the next three. Then we are at Philly, at Boston, and at Orlando. We have all seen we can lose those games on the road too. If we can go 3-3 over the next six games then we will keep that fourth spot.
