lmao@east being better than the west, and wtf@billups not helping denver? if anything its better for denver than pistons, joe dumars gambled and we'll see how it plays out.

the east isnt better. the only good teams they have are boston, detroit, orlando. cleveland/philly/toronto are kind of in the middle because i havtn seen them play much (JO and brand). the west has (in no particular order)

hornets
suns
rockets
lakers
spurs (although manus injury could mess them up)
jazz

and then other team which i think may or may not make the playoffs
nuggets, mavs, clippers (if they can get it together), blazers (depends on oden though),


dumars did the trade because iverson will keep the pistons competetive while clearing 20 mil in cap space next year i hear they want boozer. Meanwhile denevr gets a real pointguard who can defend and make plays but his contract is kind of big for a 32? year old. good deal for both. JR smith should take some of the socring load as should nene before his annual 30 game injury. the camby trade was stupid imo. at least for the nuggets.

orlando has been doing shitty and sixers even shittier, although the hawks are surprisingly capable of drillin in points and even beating my hornets. spurs are too old, lakers are too fucking beast, clippers have no chance(wtf why would you even mention them), blazers are prob gonna be 8th seed regardless of bill walton, i mean oden. denver may have a chance with the likes of billups, and boozer might go to miami, in my opinion.
