NBA update week 1

in order to stagger posting...here's my playoff teams for each conference. (why rank teams no one cares about). right now this is a combo of where i really think they'll end up and what teams have done lately. (mostly former)

West
1. Lakers - undefeated and winning by 20 points per? wow!
2. Jazz - which other team could go 6-1 without their best player and starting PG?
3. Suns - A new coach, new system, new players, new culture, east coast trip...6-2!
4. Hornets - CP is amazing, as soon as everyone is healthy they'll look more in sync.
5. Spurs - they look awful now, but with Manu and TP, they'll be fine.
6. Rockets - lose to the good teams...not a good trend to get out of first round.
7. Portland - if greg is healthy and they can gel, they will be scary.
8. Denver - i think the trade gets them in...billups is that good.

East
1. Celtics - they don't look satisfied with one championship
2. Cavs - LBJ is the early MVP...i think they get past the C's this year.
3. Hawks - they look good enough to keep this up! joe johnson MVP2?
4. Toronto - bosh looks awesome, no one will want to play them in april.
5. Philadelphia - they have the skills and will figure it out. are they this bad though?
6. Orlando - dwight's D is very impressive, do they have the cast to go far?
7. Heat - D-Wade looks good, but beasley has been less than impressive.
8. Detroit - AI makes them worse, causes tension and they could drop out.
