Re: NBA Power Rankings, WEST.
I think the Rockets are a clear #4. They had holes at PF & PG, and patched those up in the offseason.
I'm not as high on the Nuggets. I never thought they had great chemistry last year, and Iverson won't age well. He's still ineffective off the ball, has bad shot selection, and is losing his speed, which made up for it in his prime.
As long as Kobe's healthy, I don't see the Lakers missing the playoffs. Either way, I think it's his last year in LA, so I hope he goes for 100 every game.
I think the Hornets losing the OK home court advantage will hurt them a lot.
The Clippers best player is Corey Maggette [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
