| Thank the stars its time for some NBA ball! Might be a short season but that don't mean we dont have a full seasons worth of ranks!! Strengths Chicago owns LeBron...that alone could keep them in a few games Jefferson and Hickson should be nice contributors Weaknesses Little to nothing at Guard Boozer and World Peace could hurt more than help Stuck between to old and to young Strengths Like last year Dirk is still sick, but now he's also a champion! Favors and Douglas could come closer to fantasy relevance Kidd, Hill and Pierce are still good Weaknesses ........But they are also a combined 111 years old! STILL the worst....centers...EVER Little is different from last year 1 Strengths Once again Kobe is FAR from done DeRozan and OJ round out a nice list of starting Guards Derrick Williams....nice Weaknesses Useless bench T-Mac? Murphy? No No NO Derrick Williams is their only Forward worth even owning Strengths Derron Williams will be the best PG in the game....take THAT CP3 A few nice complimentary pieces TONS of cap space Weaknesses One stud...not gonna cut it After Tyson.....NO CENTERS (Fatty dont count) Jeff Green...tough break Strengths Bynum could become the center we all though he could be Strong starting lineup Amare should be huge Weaknesses We said it last year that Duncan had one year left....well..that was last year, now hes done Crap bench Very thin at Center Strengths Conley, Monta, Martin and Stuckey...very nice Guards Solid at center as well Young team with upside Weaknesses Little at Forward Suspect bench Is Beasley ever gonna become a stud?? 6th Strengths Horford is still getting better Lowry, Billups, Jameer....and that guy lobbing to Blake Sorry haters, KG isn't done yet Weaknesses Jamison...yeah..hes done Bench looks better than it is Ridnour, Humpries, Afflalo, Marvin....do they scare you? * Strengths Loaded with good Guards JaVale, Nene and Thompson...nice Centers too Rudy Gay, Deng.....a couple nice Forwards to round out the starters Weaknesses Can Stephs ankles stay right? Agent Zero is done Who the hell is Cole Norris?? ****************** Strengths Wade and Bosh should be even better this year No a stunning bench...but not a horrid one either Greg Monroe, Taj, Turner, Daye and Harden are all getting better....FAST....... Weaknesses ..........But they may all be to young to really push this team to the playoffs just yet Mo Will...yuk WEAK Centers after Greg ***************** Strengths Manu and DJ are both better than you think ....So are Lee and Noah Overall a very solid list of starters Weaknesses Manu and Parker though.....they wont be playing 66 games each No real studs...Granger maybe but will even he play in 60 games? Zip at Center after Noah *************************** Strengths Best guards in the league...not close We're talking Wall, Jrue, Thornton, Westbrook and Kyrie! A few decent young Forwards in Thad and Fields Weaknesses Nothing at Center (Come on people.....ya'll need Centers for a title run!) Not...a damn thing..on the bench Oden. Right. Strengths SOLID hybrid Centers Possibly the best Forwards in the league Very strong bench Weaknesses Ray Allen is their best Guard This team is old...maybe too old Already over the cap Strengths The WORLD Champions!! Rose, Blake AND Durant...thats like...3 of the top 5 or 6 players in the damn league! Very good starting Centers Weaknesses Rose is just about their only real Guard (no..we dont believe in saint Rubio yet) Very suspect bench One injury to one of their starts could kill em Strengths Still an Excellent starting lineup Melo and Rondo will be huge Some good bench players as well Weaknesses Like last year, still one stud from a title run Keith Benson and Alec Burks..... Strengths Great starters and a very good bench Studly Centers No glaring weaknesses Weaknesses ....well.....maybe one weakness..Injury concerns And one more..Kwame Strengths NY got taken down last year. This year ....there will be no stopping them. Brook, Dwight, DeMarcus...their Centers can best your whole damn team Gallinari, Love, Odom...their Forwards might be able to as well If Tyreke stays healthy...you'll cry Before the year is over the Turtles will have made another trade where some poor owner gets CRUSHED Weaknesses A few old pieces in Nash and Marion but they too are still great (And Dan will trade them to you for Lebron....or Rondo.....or Blake.....wathc..it'll happen) Um...other weaknesses.....hmmmm.......Dragic? And there you have it, the 2011/2012 Rankings..Set In STONE. Right? Well, maybe not. Perhaps another take could shed a different light on where your team may fall? We went to Marc Cuban himself (that'd be Dallas Mavs owner Louie EscaCuban) for some quick rankings and while they remain similar in a few ways, in many they are vastly different. So, don't like Our Ranking? Try these on for size! 16- Cincinnati Saints 15- Waco Werewolves 14- Jersey Storm 13- Denver Electricity 12- Las Vegas High Rollers 11- Connecticut Waves (No respect for The Champs at all!) 10- Dan Rocks 9- Indiana Flames 8- Chicago Bulls 7- OBX Pwnage Actors 6- Seattle Reign 5- Baltimore Buckeyez 4- Dallas Mavericks 3- Carolina Catamounts 2- New York Ninja Turtles 1- Des Moines Dynasty |
