Season Prognostications

PrintSo ... basketball is back. There was much rejoicing (yeah).
While all of us on here are pumped to have the Nuggets back on, I think the lockout did some serious harm. Particularly because there are still owners who are paying outrageous money for not outrageous players (see Jordan, DeAndre). However, since we are back, I thought I'd put some thoughts on the interwebs on how I think the Nuggets stack up against the perceived best of the West ... the Clippers, Thunder, and Mavericks.
PG - Ty Lawson, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Jason Kidd
I'd rank Lawson third-ish here. He has the potential to be better than Westbrook; only because Westbrook is a headcase. Clearly the Clippers win this one because CP3 is one of the best in the game right now. Barring any injury, the Clippers get the nod here. CP3, Westbrook, Ty, JKidd.
SG - Arron Afflalo, Chauncey Billups, James Harden, Delonte West (?)
I had to look up who was going to start for the Mavs because they had so much roster turnover. I'd say that the SG position in the West on the contenders is probably the weakest. It's close between SG and Center. From the looks of it, I'd give a slight nod to the AAAssasin. Overall, if AAA's game improves the way it has been, he should edge out James Harden for this. I know Thabo Sefolosha starts a lot for them, but I think Harden is the better player here. AAA, Harden, Billups, West.
SF - Danilo Gallinari, Caron Butler, Kevin Durant, Lamar Odom
Wow, this position is loaded. I remember when Butler was coming out of UConn, I really wanted the Nuggets to draft him. Freaking Skita. Anyways, clearly, KD is the best player at the SF position of the group. I think Caron will surprise some people this year along with Gallo. Odom has got to be playing with a chip on his shoulder. I'd love to see some scandal with him and Kim K. Then we wouldn't have to worry about the Mavs any longer. KD, Gallo, Butler, Odom.
PF - Nene, Blake Griffin, Serge Ibaka, Dirk Nowitzki
I'd give Dirk the slight edge here because he just seems to be getting stronger as his career goes on. I'm not going to front here, I love Dirk's game. Blake is going to have a great year with CP3 and CB1 on the floor with him. But Dallas gets the edge here with Nene only slightly above the SERGEing Ibaka. Again, a pretty solid position. Dirk, Griffin, Nene, Ibaka.
C - Timofey Mozgov, DeAndre Jordan, Kendrick Perkins, Brendan Haywood
Gross. What has happened to the center position? I'll start with the worst: Haywood ... he's big and grumpy. If things start going south, he'll check out. They are really going to miss Tyson Chandler. Perkins and Mozgov are a toss up in my mind because I just don't know what Moz will bring to the defense. I remember he played well against the US when he played for Russia. Begrudingly, I'd give DeAndre the best at a very weak position. I take back what I said about the SG position. This is bad. DJ, Perkins, Moz, Haywood.
Bench
Rather than listing the players out, I'll just say that the Nuggets have the most depth and talent coming off the bench. Especially if Wilson Chandler comes back. We'd have almost a starting five in Andre Miller, Rudy Fernandez, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, Kosta Koufos, and Chris Andersen. Those guys might not win many games on their own, but it's doable and really nice to have that depth along with Kenneth Faried and Corey Brewer. Second goes to the Thunder, then Mavs, and finally Clips.
Coaching
Rick Carlisle has won championships (as a player in 1986 and coach in 2011), Scott Brooks and George Karl I think are on par with each other. And Vinny the Black (Vinny Del Negro) may very well coach the Clippers out of a deep playoff run. Dallas, Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers.
My tally: #1 at a position = 4 points. #2 = 3 points. #3 = 2 points. #4 = 1 point.
Nuggets - 19 points
Clippers - 17 points
Thunder - 20 points
Mavs - 14 points
You can't really discount the Mavs because they are the reigning champs. The Lakers are a mess this year. The Western Conference is fairly wide open. I'm posting this on a Nuggets website, so I'm probably overvaluing them slightly, but I do believe they can be a player in the West this year. Injuries, shortened season, and other freaky things can happen this year. The Eastern Conference may just beat up on one another enough that the winner of the West could push the Heat, Pacers, or Celtics and win it all.
Either way, to quote a really terrible movie, that I never actually saw, BRING IT ON.
Write respectfully of your SB Nation community and yourself.

I dispute your metrics
But I agree with your results.
OKC is the best of the four teams here. I think Denver matches up with them better than last year, but OKC still has a slight edge.
The Mavs don’t scare me and and as talented as the Clips are, they don’t have the depth.
ALSO: First doesn’t count if you aren’t really making a comment.

Bah on "science"
I just think there is an ineffable measure of teamwork that can’t be measured by the sum of the individual stats.
This is why I think AAA is such a good player, even if his stat line isn’t especially impressive. I thought the same with Kenyon Martin.
"Rollin' in the club / HAPPY MEAL"
Quality post ...
Enjoyed the read and got me thinking about the rosters of the teams involved. I think most of us are counting the Lakers out too soon, they could fall apart or they could contend. Should be interesting to see. I’ve been counting the Spurs out for years and like Michael Myers, they just wont EFFING die!

The Lakers are a middle of the pack team
So are the Nuggets.
Another notable omission here is THE GRIZZ!
They have a legit center, several bona fide scoring options and played with great chemistry in the playoffs this year. I see them as a top four team.
My ranking:
OKC
Memphis
LA Clips
Denver
Dallas
LA Lakers
Portland
San AnOLDio
That’s Memphis ahead of Dallas and OKC over Denver and LAC over the LAL in the three west divisions. Close races all. Any could flip either way.
And: I think Denver finds good team chemistry this year in the playoffs and goes on a run and makes it to the finals. I really think that. And yes, I am an idiot homer drunk on my recent success in calling these things.
"Rollin' in the club / HAPPY MEAL"
Good point
The Grizz should be in there.
I disagree about the lakers. Fish is old, their depth is gone, and I think mike brown is a terrible coach. Losing odom is going to hurt them

by REAPtheThird on Dec 24, 2011 12:00 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
My point is
that the Lakers are a good team without Odom and a terrible PG.
But definitely not a great team. They might be closer to an 8 seed than a 6, I’ll grant that. But they are a playoff team until I can hear who ought to be in there that I neglected. Sacramento? The Suns?
"Rollin' in the club / HAPPY MEAL"
the clippers are no better than denver and dallas,

Butler over Odom?
I know the Laker hate is strong here, (I know, he is a Mav now) but this is still utterly wrong. Butler has never been better than Odom, and he won’t be better than him all of a sudden after sustaining a season ending injury last year, no matter how big the chip on his shoulder is.
Saying that however, good post.

My take
Just like it ever was, Denver ranked very low, even out of the playoffs in many publications’ prediction stories. Lack of star power, of course, is the reason. I think we will see Denver as a very entertaining team. I rank them fifth, behind:
OKC: Rising power. Too young, too good.
Dallas. Dirk makes anyone better.
San Oldio. Well coached and smart even if they are old.
Lakers. One injury to Kobe could put them out of the playoffs. Talk about head cases.
Why rate the Nuggets so high? Everyone seems to be ignoring how the regular season is setting up. The biggest factor is the tight schedule. Even George knows he will have to play his bench and he’s got the deepest in the league. So we will probably be successful in the regular season and struggle again in the playoffs. That’s kind of George’s MO historically. When teams get tired and worn out, coaching becomes a big factor, plus playing humble, tough defense. There’s a lot of bad basketball on tap for early in this season, which helps our young players. Lots of these guys, especially stars, will try to do things their bodies aren’t ready for and there will be a huge injury factor this year. Because of depth and good coaching, the regular season will play into Denver’s hands.
Add LA Clips: Does anyone really think Vinny can coach? He never played defense in the NBA and he can’t figure out how to get his team to play it. Portland? Injury decimation plague. Memphis? They’ll be in the hunt but lack back court leadership. Most improved? Minnesota. Great coach and a young front court star. Headed to Stiffdom: Phoenix will compete for the first overall pick next year.

Also, off-topic
Either way, to quote a really terrible movie, that I never actually saw it, BRING IT ON.
Even though it is about cheerleaders and high school and has all the appearance of a stupid teen movie and full of clichés about the underdog overcoming adversity, Bring It On is actually a damn good movie and you should see it before dissing it.
Mind, I personally never let ignorance on a subject keep me from having an opinion on it. So I understand. Just saying. It is a much better movie than the dreck Nate constantly references here.

crazy analysis
Sometimes I think we search for arguments to show why we should trust this team. Some look at the stats, others compare the players with the other teams.
Like most people, I don’t know how to rank the Nuggets this season, but I trust them anyway. I just want them to be entertaining, exciting, fun to watch.
I’ll be rooting for them, and there’s no scientific explanation to prove that it’ll help them in any way, but I’ll do it anyway!.
interesting you say the Boats overpaid for DJ

Thank god I am not a Broncos fan lol.
See this is what rebuilding can do (well I know McDaniels was crazy, but someone could take who we want before Ujiri gets a chance to draft them and we will be in rebuild mode for many years), it will be a while before the Broncos aren’t jokes anymore.

i think you'll recall that i at least, was never on team melo
never been a fan of his selfish play.
for those who targeted him as an enemy once he disowned our town, i can 100% see where they are coming from, and in fact believe that is the correct course of action for a die hard nuggets fan.
as nuggets fans we cheer for the team representing our city. when a player decides our town isn’t good enough for him and moves on to play elsewhere there will be a backlash.
the players have it confused that we are cheering for them specifically, when we are actually cheering for our team and by proxy ourselves.
we DO love that player until he decides we are not good enough for them and then it is our right to root against them and i.m.o. duty as hardcore nuggets fans to discontinue our loyalty at the very least.
of course it is different for players who leave due to a disloyal management, but that obviously was not the case for melo, lebron, bosh, paul etc.
i don’t wish injury or crisis on him or anyone else, but i DO hope that he never plays in, much less wins a title in n.y., same as i hope lebron, bosh, paul and any other player that tosses aside a city that loves them never do.
the players and some fans need to realize, it isn’t like a union/anti union issue when a player chooses to desert a city for one where he is happier. you can not compare a man taking a manufacturing job in a different city for the rest of his adult life because he has mouths to feed, to a prima donna ball player who has an ego to feed. they are wealthy beyond comprehension already, and will be able to live anywhere they want after their very short career in the league is over, and spend their down time in places we can only save for a year to MAYBE be able to visit on a tight budget.
it is a huge privilege to play in the nba and represent any city for 20 years (at the most, and on extremely rare occasions)
everyone can “fan” however they like, but loyalty is a two way street.
by Patrick KB. Nugget on Dec 25, 2011 1:34 PM MST up reply actions
and to my point on union vs. non union irrelevance,
i am very much a pro-union guy in the real world, but in the fantasy land that is professional sports, with the exception of the nfl (not coincidentally the most lucrative of them all) the inmates and their unions are running the asylum.
there is no reason for a baseball or basketball fan to settle for playing in one city since there is no hard cap.
in the nfl a player considers it the huge privelage tht it is to play in places like denver or the frozen tundra for fucks sake.
the “super star players” are employees of the team they play for and not the other way around.
i can’t include the nhl in this because while they have a hard cap, they have a soft spending floor which allows the ownership to vastly underspend in order to make a profit through revenue sharing.

East predictions
Miami
Chicago
New York
Indiana
Atlanta
Milwaukee
New Jersey
Boston
Not as sure about the east. Anything out of the top two is a toss up. Orlando could make it instead of New Jersey. I’m not really sold on Boston this year — age. But I always rule out old teams and they always do well, hello San Antonio. So.
But I do think the Knicks are the best team in the Atlantic. But they are like the Clippers in my prediction, only a high seed by virtue of winning their division.
Which would be a story if it happened, if the Clippers displace the Lakers and the Knicks
evict Boston.
Also, David Stern needs to resign.
Miami looks good. Like a team that has spent the off season festering about coming up short. And it was a long off-season. Chicago is going to have to wait.
"Rollin' in the club / HAPPY MEAL"
For the Heat, they will do well in reg season
But they still have LBJ and his playoff woes. I kept hearing LBJ playing flag football and didn’t sense he cared that much about the finals loss.
D. Rose on the other hand sounded really pissed about the loss and I never heard anything about him in the offseason when I heard LBJ complaining about how he hated he was a villain. I think D Rose has the right attittude and will lead the Bulls past the Heat if everyone is healthy.
