I'll show you some love Quagmire. If, as you say, most polls are rating OKC 2nd in the West this season, then they ARE over-rating them. Like everyone else, I love Durant and was really happy to see Westbrook play so well and give the Lakers grief in the 1st round last season - but 2nd? C'mon, these guys are young and have a lot to learn. No-one will be taking them lightly this season. Teams will be studying how to shut Westbrook down and they do have pretty limited bigs. (Yes I love Ibaka too, but he is RAW).

I'm expecting the Jazz to do well this season as well. As long as he stays healthy, Big Al is a nice upgrade over Boozer. Two offensive talents like D-Will and Big Al should be a pleasure to watch.

I also think that Chicago, while a good team, will struggle to make the top 4 in the East. Miami, Boston and Orlando are all ahead of them and the Bucks will be too, unless Bogut's elbow doesn't come good.

I still think Boston is a contender as long as they stay healthy. The Celtics played BETTER, more consistent basketball in the playoff just gone than they did when they won the title! Perk getting injured in game 6 made a HUGE difference to the outcome of the series. If anyone cares to go back to the 3rd quarter of game 7, you'll see KG tearing Pau a new one. The problem was, without Perk in the middle, KG and Sheed finally ran out of gas in the final quarter and the Lakers finished over the top.

If Boston and Miami are both healthy come the end of the season, I fully expect those two fighting it out for the right to take on the Lakers in the Finals.

5aa rumor that phil is going to jump. No name on source but KG said if it came from who he thought that it might be right.
