I just have a problem being behind Minny, Chicago, Utah and GS. I think we should be 4 up. The rest i agree with frankly until we prove otherwise. Chicago i think will have problems without Rose. Big problems.

I agree. Minny, Utah, and GS for sure should not be in front of us. How does two teams that didn't make the playoffs and one that got swept last year get ahead of a team that has been there five straight years? Sure Joe and Marv are gone, but they have been replaced by pieces and we now have flexibility. Lou, Harris, Korver, Morrow, Deshawn, and Jenkins is an improvement over Joe, Marv, and an old, mediocre bench. Really, I only see the typical teams being better than us...

Well, we just moved up a spot and we haven't played any games - Bynum is out 3 weeks with a bone bruise (precausionary).

No training camp or pre-season for him.

Now we know why Orlando didn't want him in the D12 deal....he may still be OK but I don't trust him and his work ethic without Kobe riding him.
