Charlotte is not better then NY. Atlanta is not better then Milwaukee

Portland should be higher.

I don’t think Boston will be in the Top 4. They will have injury trouble and let people rest to concentrate fully on the playoffs. I see the Hawks over the Bucks though. The Knicks and Sixers over the Bobcats and the Pistons over the Pacers.

Portland has a good chance to be higher, if they stay healthy, which is questionable as always. Same for the Rockets, if they’re healthy they will have 50+ wins.

And the Kings won’t be 10th. They have a good young team, but the Clippers and the Hornets have better teams right now. Especially the Clippers.

The knicks are going to make the playoffs. That is going to be a great regular season team that doesnt do much in the post season.

Hard to to something in the post season if you’re facing the Heat or the Magic.

I don’t think the Warriors will finish behind Memphis and Sacramento this year. Maybe I’m just a homer, but I think the addition of David Lee and the return of Andris Biedrins to form is going to push the Warriors forward. The Dubs consistently have had a problem rebounding, allowing second chance points; Lee and Biedrins together are a great front line from a rebounding standpoint. Curry is still developing. Monta will be back, and yes, he probably won’t be a lockdown defender ala Shane Battier, but if he tries, he can play decently on that end as well. We saw them last year with injury after injury, three D-league call ups, and they consistently dressed the league minimum (and had a six man rotation). That obviously won’t cut it, but if the Warriors can stay healthy this year? They can be good.

I don’t know anything about Dorrell Wright, but can he play? He’s supposed to bring it on defense, which is something the Warriors need.
