C: MArcus camby

but what about ehir crappy coach? Seriously! The coach sucks

There's no chemistry in that lineup.. if there was they would make the playoffs every year.

The Clips are stacked.. but they don't work well together.

Other than Gordon, Thornton and Griffin(and maybe Novak, DeAndre Jordan and Craig Smith) they should just rebuild completely.

True. but everyone who has worked with boom says that he's the coach of the team.

Visa trust me...Clippers cant go to the playoffs
Look at last year
They had
B-Diddy
Al Thornton
Marcus
Eric

They had some all star players there but they won less than 30 games

Because Z-bo ruined the chemistry. With zach gone i think the chemistry will be fine...they don't have and disruptive people anymore

Out of those three teams, The Clippers I believe have the best chance of clinching the 8th seed. The Suns have a depleted roster and essentially do not have a bright future ahead of them. In addition, the Warriors just keep going downhill and will maintain that pattern as long as Donnie Nelson is a part of the organization.

The Clippers actually have a promising future with the acquisition of Blake Griffin and a commitment I assume, to improve the franchise. The Clippers seem to be the best on paper out of the three teams mentioned.

I think Phoenix will be better than the 8th seed, but I can see LA Clippers getting to at least the 8 spot.

I don't think the Suns are really gonna do too good.

Last season, they didn't make the playoffs

Now they traded Shaquille O'Neal for Ben Wallace (waived) and Sasha Pavlovic (waived), so basically, they literally traded Shaq for nothing.

They picked up Channing Frye

Shaquille O'Neal > Channing Frye

Maybe 2011, Phoenix

Well... I think they'll do pretty okay in the regular season for one reason.

They're back to running. Running! Thats how they had that what was it? 67 win season a few years ago...
They''ll make the playoffs.
but not out of the first game.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships

I still don't think they'll make the playoffs though.
At that time, they also had Mike D'Antoni as their coach who is an offensive genius - this time, it is a completely different story.

I'm with Raza, maybe they can make playoffs in 2011. Just maaaaybe.

Gentry coached under the wing of D'Antoni, so I think he can handle it.

I guess Gentry will be a good coach for the Suns since he is aware of Mike's style but he is sure as heck no Mike D'Antoni. I still say they will miss the playoffs.

whooa damn when did you guys dig up this thread?

Clippers is a wild guess, they have the pieces to make the playoff next year but given their past history it wouldn't surprise anybody if they are at the bottom of the West again at the end of the season. Warriors is way too unstable and their lack of size really give them little chance to even compete in the West, Suns still have Nash and Amare, so they are my pick for the 8th seed. Too bad cuz I was hoping to see a Kobe vs Shaq showdown, that might be the only reason why I'm rooting for Cleveland to come out of the East next season, but the Celtics still get my vote for now.

Clippers are starting to look as a good team with young guys like Gordon,Griffin and Thorthon.That's their future best line up,plus in couple of years Kaman will be in his prime,De Andre Jordan is on the rise......This team will need a good subustition for Davis and they can make a sick team that will be a threat,

Suns,they have Amare and i don;t know about their future.It;s really tough to say


Warriors,they need their big men to develop and to have good chemistry.Randolph,Morrow,Curry,Elis,Biedris that's more then solid team there.Plus Marco Belinelli

I say that each of these teams have almost same chances of getting that 8th seed

i dont think the suns r gonna be eighth.... they r gonna be higher like prolly third or fourth
but this is coming froma suns fan lol

Belinelli is in Toronto haha. And actually all we need is A NEW COACH.

That's true but why don't the W's owner fire Nellie yet?

You need a good defensive plays in the Warriors and let the centers/power forwards go inside and prove them selves

Suns are too good for 8th.

suns will finish as 2nd seed in the west

Suns= too good for 8th seed
Warriors= mess
Clippers= has the best chance out of these 3.

Thunder=7-6

thunder wil be 8th with clippers at 7th

xD Suns aint 8th... they gonna be like hmm... 3rd? 2nd?
