His psychical game will piss Ginobili off, both on offense and defense.

But Vank dont forget they have finely as well, which makes it hard for patterson to shut down both players.
Riot, your opinion is sinking with the twolves, dont be a homer.
Matt, as much as you may not like it, Miami, Dallas and Pheonix can all pose big problems to san antonio and detroit.
As for the topic.. Nene's injury hurt them pretty bad this season. But with that being said, Martin, Camby and Melo is the best and most complete front court in the nba. you combine that with with millers playmaking and boykins scoring off the bench, and the fact they will probably make it into the second round with the third seed. But they are pretenders. as good as their frontcourt is, its just not tough enough, and as good as melo is, he cant carry them by himself.

I will answer this simply.
No.

no doubt they may even knock one of them out, but, at the end of the day the champ will be Detroit or San Antonio.

maybe they will have good games here and there, but condenters.... no

I dunno how you can be so certain. Think back to 2004, when your pistons actually won. Everyone was convinced the winner would be the san antonio/ lakers series. Nobody expected a team like detroit could even get to the conference finals, let alone the nba finals and to dominate the lakers the way they did.

You're right, I'm looking just at starters way too much. If the matchup Denver vs. SA is to occur, Spurs would surely win in 7 game series. Even if Duncan is still injured and Ginobili goes down, they still have depth with Finley, Barry, Exel and Udrih. And they all can provide clutch baskets, Finley and Nick especially.
Eh, forget it. It was just a random thought. There's no way they can survive a first round against Suns, Spurs or Mavericks. To many ifs.

Denver and Utah are playing .500 basketball and the Timberwolves are starting to click. I don't think it's that far-fetched to say the Timberwolves will win the division, or atleast make the postseason.
Plus, I believe the Timberwolves have an easier schedule.

Who is gonna win it then? Ur T-Puppets? Or the Jizzers from Utah?
The Timberwolves will win the Northwest Division this year. Book it.
Since their entire division sucks I would think that Nuggets would win their division, but will ge tknocked out round 1. Even though I love the Nuggets they smply do not play their best every game. They play well once in a while when they win, but the rest is just a bunch of standing around on the offensive end.

Well they weren't respected that's why. They had the best finish (something along those lines) after the All-Star break but people didn't really notice. They picked the Lakers because of their 4 HOF's. The season after Detroit won, most picked Miami with Shaq to come out of the East, then this season when Miami retooled the same thing happened.....only now are the Pistons being as the # 1/2 team in the L.
Still, defense will win the championship....SAS or Detroit unless the other contenders actually play above what they do now.

Nuggets are not yet a contender but is closer to one than before with the addition of Patterson and others
