NBA Poll

[Scott]

The Boston Celtics have seen a 10-1 run since the reaquisition of Antoine Walker and Gary Payton and alot of growth from rookies Al Jefferson, Tony Allen and Delonte West. A good mixture of veterens and young talent seems to be paying off. If the Celtics want to be contenders in the NBA they have the talent but are going to have to work on basic things like defense and making free throws.

Are they an elite team? Not yet, but it's good to see this team have some success after such a long drought.

EDIT: If your favorite team is not listed, sorry only 20 choices please give it a shout

out!

The Pacers for sure! If only JO wasn't injured...

[miamistreets]

I'm sorry guys but The Miami Heat are the best.We have more wins than any other team in the NBA.Thanks to Shaq,Wade,etc.

Right now (i think it is) the Suns is the biggest enemy of the Heat .Both of them have the best average right now.

[Scott]

Nope the Pistons are still the best until they are de-throned.

[eastsider]

If Tim Duncan gets healthy, it will be the Spurs.

[miamistreets]

Im surprised only a little bit of votes are in.I expected more.eh,who cares?

For me the Miami Heat are the BEST.More wins,best record this year.

I think it is because this is mainly a southern forum and people like college hoops more in that region. Also the NBA has done a terrible job lately marketing itself compared to football and Nascar.

Unfortunately the Bobcats aren't doing well int heir first season. I do think we're still doing better than the Hornets, but don't quote me on that. It would be humiliating to be behind the Hornets, LOL!

[miamistreets]

Yes,very disappointing.

I actually think that the hornets suck.And the atlanta hawks ,too.

Miami beats both of them like nothing.My brother(that lives in atlanta)says that he still goes for Miami cause they're bad.

The hornets have pulled 1 win ahead of the bobcats.

But the good news is the cats beat orlando last night for the 3rd time in 4 games. Too bad we don't play them anymore.

They have a bright future with Emeka Okafor... kids the real deal.

[Scott]

O-oh, Celtics are looking like crap the last three games and suddenly the Sixers win three and are 9-6 with Chris Webber.

[atownboy]

Are you kidding the hawks are the best! There definitly going to the finals this year.

[pacersfan218]

Oh yeah we all know how good the Hawks are...

GET REAL

Lets Go Heat!!

Hey,.. I've been a fan sence Tim Hardaway, Mashburn, and Zo... So Im not a banwagoner...

[peaceloveunderstanding]

I like the Bobcats but they a'int doing so great.

[eastsider]

The Hawks lost to Bobs Cats tonight to clinch the worst record in the league. Congrats Atlanta.

[Namu336]

I used to like the Hornets, but I lost love for them when they left Carolina, hoping that it would make them a better team, and they are still mediocre (Ha ha, New Orleans).For me, It's the Spurs.They had my favorite basketball player, George Gervin (Iceman!!!).

[brewerw]

Go Grizzlies!!!!! Memphis all the way baby!!!!

[CLTfanatic]

I've got to say, the Bobcats played with as much heart as anyone this year, cause lets face it, they didn't have much else.

What I find so incedible is the fact that they lost so many games in the last few minutes, reminds me of the panthers not so long ago "Cardiac Cats"

[Benhamin]

Celtics v. Pacers first round.

If history means anything, than the Celtics should prevail. I would expect them to win otherwise, they are too good to not beat Indy.

[eastsider]

The Celtics-Pacers matchup should be a good one. The other first round matchup I'm looking forward to is the Mavs-Rockets.

BTW, for those interested, Charlotte's old team (Hornets) finished 18-54, Charlotte's new team (Bobcats) finished 18-54.

[ironchapman]

I like the Hawks, even they are the worst team, but tell me, what else is new?

Why must they be so bad?!

I guess I gotta root for the home team, though. After all, Boston was faithful through the Sox's bad years, all 86 of them. Maybe if we support the Hawks for 86 years, they'll get a Nat'l Championship.

[DigitalSky]

The only reason the Bobcats are winning b/c of charlotte fourmers. Anyway - Who's gonna take champ in the NBA finals? Pistons or Spurs... Starts tonight!

[eastsider]

Think it will be the Spurs....they are red hot.
