In all honesty, my gut tells me they miss it (especially with LAC moving up). Then next year they are beyond horrible and pick in the top 5.
Well, Memphis is questionable to return to the playoffs, same with Denver. Portland won't be making it and neither will New Orleans. Plenty of room!
How do you figure? The team was just starting to hit its stride when Gay went out (17-7 in previous 24), held on to a spot going 15-10. I don't see any way Memphis falls out of the playoffs. They're a lock.
I have Portland as a lock too. Return basically the same team as last year. Only losses were Rudy (doesn't matter) and Roy (didn't do all that much last year anyway). They replace Miller with Felton (wash). If LMA is healthy, they're getting in.
Ouch, that's bad news. I hope Hayes will be fine. He strikes me as a very good guy.Hope he's okay for him and for the Kings:
Chuck Hayes, who signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the Kings last week, has an apparent heart condition.
"A recent stress echo test performed on Chuck Hayes revealed an abnormality which will require further testing this evening and tomorrow. An update will be provided as more information becomes available."

Blazers are a lock for a PO-spot... Felton/Matthews/Wallace/LMA/Camby...same line-up as last year expect that Roy cant offer his average 20min off the bench and he was already replaced with Crawford.
Memphis isnt questinoable at all...They have Gay coming back and otherwise remain the same so if anything they are improving.
Denver is the only team that I can really see struggeling, then agian they just signed Nene and Chandler is going to come back once the season in China is over.
I'm feeling it. They will make the playoffs.
Totally disagree on Memphis and Portland. Especially Memphis. Could be a flash in the pan. Just look at the talent they've assembled, not much of it is proven, some of it is volatile.
Had to make it a watch thread, now they're definitely not getting in
