Title: Re: pick the NBA Champion ? Post by: Aske on October 26, 2009, 05:37:03 PM who voted Other without naming their pick?
I went Spurs.... although Timmy D is a bit older and slower, he has the best team around him he's ever had. This is a team that will have a legitimate shot for 4 18.x point scorers with key skill contributions off the bench, and will have the best rebounding they have had since the twin towers.

I think I agree. I picked Lakers. Phillies, Could be close, but their strong. Steelers, if Ben continues to pass the way he has. Penguins, I guess. I don't watch hockey. Title: Re: pick the NBA Champion ? Post by: Aske on October 26, 2009, 05:39:41 PM I agree a bit, I certainly think you have to give the Lakers a great shot...
NHL (grueling) and NFL(one and done) are just too wacky though playoffs wise... NHL especially.... to presume someone can defend no matter what based on rosters alone.

I think it will come down to the Cavs and the L A Rapers with the Cavs coming out on top. 8)
Title: Re: pick the NBA Champion ? Post by: Fuzzy on October 26, 2009, 07:13:00 PM I would've picked Lakers if they hadn't picked up Artest and stayed with Ariza. I'm not sure that ends well. It is hard to pick against them though but......
I am agreeing with Aske in the West. The Spurs look really good with a healthy Ginobli. Duncan has a ton of depth around him and they really have proven how good they are at signing FA's and drafting. I also love how the Spurs play in this day and age of the NBA and really like their chances. I don't like the Celtics just because and I don't think Shaq brings much to the Lebrons. I pick Spurs.

DeJuan Blair doesn't look rookie-esque out there at all against the big boys Title: Re: pick the NBA Champion ?

DeJuan Blair doesn't look rookie-esque out there at all against the big boys I still find it hard to believe that so many teams passed on this guy. |
