NBA 04-05 Preview.

NBA 2004 - 2005

After a lot of hoo-haas about Shaquille O'Neal leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, Tracy McGrady leaving the Orlando Magic for the Houston Rockets, Steve Nash ditching the Dallas Mavericks for my favorite team, the Phoenix Suns, and Kobe Bryant talking trash all day long, we're going actually see the season get under way.

Here are my predictions.

Eastern Conference rankings, or should i say, projected playoff teams

1. Indiana
2. Detroit (Yup i know they won the championships. But who cares? The pacers are still better)
3. Miami (Any team with Shaq will automatically be in the top 3 of a conference)
4. Toronto(Ppl say they suck. But with Vince Carter, Donyell Marshall n Jalen Rose, i think they'll get it right this year)
5. New York
6. Philadephia
7. New Jersey (They've still got J Kidd ok.)
8. Cleveland

Western Conference
1. Minnesota Timberwolves (no fight man)
2. Phoenix Suns (Yup. Above the lakers, kings, mavs and spurs)
3. Sacramento Kings
4. San Antonio Spurs
5. Denver Nuggets
6. Memphis Grizzlies
7. Dallas Mavericks
8. Los Angeles Lakers
