Which NBA teams are contenders and which are pretenders?

In the west, it is loaded. In the east, I think only 2 teams have a real shot for the title. Orlando is good but can't beat Detroit or Boston. Who do you think are for real and who will collapse? In the west, I think only four teams will go to the finals: Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles. NO is good but can't hang with those four in 7 games. All the Northwest teams will be beaten in the 1st round.

Orlando might be the surprise in the East, they were the first team to beat Boston this year and they're only getting better. Maybe a minor trade might have a major impact.



In the west you're basically right, there it might come down to which teams stay healthy. If the big 4 loose one player, eg ginobili, odom,... NO, Utah, Denver could be a first round surprise, but no GSW story this year I think!
West Contenders



Lakers



Mavs



Spurs



Jazz



Hornets -one concern is they have no depth on the bench



East Contenders



Pistons



Celtics



Magic



East Pretenders



Cavs %26amp; every one else I just can't see them beating the Celtics Pistons or Magic last season was a fluke and know that have to beat more than one tough team to get to the finals



West Pretenders



Rockets- don't see them making the playoffs



Blazers-Just too young maybe when they get Oden and they have all there weapons



Suns- they were a contender but now with this stupid trade I can't see them getting past the second round



Nuggets- plays no defense at all although they can be a wildcard because A.I %26amp; Melo



Warriors- also plays no defense that's not can't beat the Lakers the Spurs or Jazz's with that style
contenders-lakers,hornets,mavs,spurs



prentenders-celtics,pacers,hawks,warri...

Jazz
pretenders: dallas their choke artists, Detroit is to old, Mcdyess Wallace, Rip, Billiups all over 30, and they were beat by a 20 year old last year. New Orleans, too inconsistent, no bench, but young and talented. San Antonio cant repeat so count them out. Lakers, Celtics, and Suns are the only contenders. Suns got rid of bad chemistry, brought in a 4 time champion, who will get healthy just like grant hill was able to do. Laker's have Kobe's leaderships and 2 very talented 7 footers. Boston has Allen, Pierce, and Garnett. They also have some very talented young players in Powe, Rondo, Tony Allen, Perkins, who have filled in nicely when the big three have been out.
pretenders- New Orleans and Golden State, Lakers(?)



contenders- Detroit and Sn Antonio



(?)- might be neither
all i know is that the knicks will never improve
