And Gooden isn't anything to write home about. Been with what, 4 teams in two years or something like that?

So who do you think has the best chance this year to take it all? I am bias towards Cleveland and really think this is the best team they have had in years. Even better than when the went to the Eastern Championship. They do look like poo thus far in pre-season though. Least it is just pre-season. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
Like Cleveland or the Magic out of the East and either New Orleans or Phoenix out of the west granted Phoenix can keep their players healthy.

Surprises could be the Clippers and Philly in their respective divisons.

Can't wait! Go Cavs!

Lol, I have been pretty dead on with my picks so far.

Minus the Clippers, they had all them good players, but can't put it together.....or stay healthy.......some with the Suns, but they may make a push to make it to the playoffs....maybe!

Robinson would spank gooden with a wooden leg!

gooden is good for what we need him to do, a blocked shot or two and rebounding. after duncan there is a serious drop off in rebounding. if he can grab 7 boards a game, block some shots, and have a few putbacks, we are in business.

For sure on that part use Bonner and Alberto to hack (Bonner from the outside too) but what will make or break the team is Manu being healthy. Hopefully Gooden can still shoot.

I don't think the Spurs have ever had a deeper bench around TD, Parker, and Manu. They're the best chance in the West to knock off the Lakers.

malik, stephen jackson, claxton, steve smith, even kevin willis was a monster off the bench, and kerr were pretty dang good in 2003

that is also the year Robinson was only averaging about 8ppg, manu was also at a mere 8-9ppg.

who is alberto? lol

gooden does not need to shoot, he knows that defense and rebounds are what he is here for. manu might be back for the lakers game this week and gooden should suit up as well, may get interesting.

When Manu is leading the second team it would be good if Gooden can score. When San Antonio does well they dont go through 3-5 minute droughts where they **** on offense
