Warriors actually look like they have a decent roster for the first time... since I don't know 94? | ||

Hardly fair to make a blanket statement against all Americans, particularly when you're talking about racism and your profile indicates you're from Germany. | ||

They actually have a pretty deep roster next year. Curry/Jack Thompson/Rush Barnes/R Jeff Lee/Landry Bogut/Beans/Ezeli Top 4 is overly ambitious, but you could make a case for the Warriors being 5-8 seeds. | ||

okc, spurs, lal, lac, denver, utah, memphis, minnesota all have superior lineups. if I was a warriors fan, I'd be looking forward to a year of not tanking, but you probably will start tanking near the all star break anyways, since your coaching sucks. | ||

It is racism, but it's mocking the racist assumption that Asians are super smart and that this somehow applies to basketball. We call it satire. | ||

they seem like they are on the pheonix, houstan, dallas level, have some pieces that can push them into the playoffs, but will have a hard time against teams with better coaching (wolves, nuggets) or better personal (utah, memphis). should be a nice to watch in the late night, barring they don't throw in the towel and start tanking again. the west is pretty deep altogether right now, the worst teams, portland, sac town, new orleans all have one player whom could make an all star game, lma, cousins, gordon respectively. I think it will surprise me more that other teams shit the bed, rather than the warriors playing well. | ||

West: 1st tier: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers (I know it seems homer-ish, but their frontcourt is unmatched) 2nd tier: Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets 3rd tier: Mavs, Jazz, TWolves, Warriors 4th tier: Rockets, Kings, Suns, TBlazers, Hornets East: 1st tier: Heat 2nd tier: Celtics, Bulls 3rd tier: Pacers, Nets, Knicks (assuming their defense wasn't a fluke) 4th tier: Hawks, Sixers, Bucks 5th tier: Pistons, Cavs, Raptors, Wizards, 6th tier: Bobcats, Magic (assuming no D12) Most likely to end up tanking: Bobcats, Pistons, Cavs, Magic, Hornets, TBlazers, Suns P.S. I don't think the Warriors will tank because their fanbase will not tolerate it for another season. Last year was supposed to be a playoff run, and their decision to trade for an injured Bogut and sit Lee to tank ended up getting their owners booed by their own fans. You can't imagine they'd do it again under those circumstances. | ||

1st tier: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies, - all these teams will make the playoffs, barring injury, and all should have "contender" status by time the playoffs roll around 2nd tier: Nuggets, TWolves, Jazz - These teams should have a good shot making the playoffs 3rd tier: Mavs, Warriors, Suns, Rockets - Outside shot to make the playoffs, could get in depending on SoS, or if another 2nd tier team has a bad injury 4th tier: Kings, TBlazers, Hornets - Tanking/player development, unless Damian Lillard is the second coming of Brandon Roy, then move the Blazers up a tier. East: 1st tier: Heat 2nd tier: Celtics, Pacers 3rd tier: Nets, Knicks, Bulls - Sorry Bulls fans, but I need to see Rose play again before I put you up on the 2nd tier again. 4th tier: Sixers, Bucks, Raptors, Cavs,Hawks - These teams should be fighting for the last two playoff spots, with an edge to the Sixers and Bucks. Although Uncle Drew might put the cavs on his back, and the Raptors have been slowly upgrading their team, while improving their defense (tremendously). I'll have to see this new hawks team play before I make a judgment on them. Post J.J. their offense is going to look entirely different, and will probably be Smith/Teague centric. 5th tier: Pistons, Wizards, Magic, Bobcats - These teams should* be tanking. *The Wizards might take a leap forward this year with their vastly improved roster, but they need another good lottery pick before they can really construct a suitable playoff team. East is hard to predict though, so many subtle player movements that may or may not have a huge impact (Lou Williams to the Hawks for an example) | ||
