1. Dallas- One last title run before the grave.
2. Denver- With Melo and lady Melo eyeing Brooklyn, all this team has to look forward to are the days when Chauncey becomes an assistant coach.
3. Golden State- Granted, watching Curry and Ellis play is like watching NBA jam players who are on fire run around, but that doesn't explain why they have nearly as many nationally televised games as wins.
4. Houston Rockets- Not even triple platinum advanced statistics can explain why Kevin Martin's wacky shot will always drop.
5. Los Angeles (lesser)- Aminu? Bledsoe? Griffin? Is one of the most promising young groups enough to overcome two decades of late night comedy jokes and this guy?
6. Los Angeles (greater)- I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I think these guys are a team to watch.
7. Memphis- Just one Lakers trade away from really having something.
8. Minnesota- One of sports' most fascinating stories in 2011 will be the boxing match between Kevin Love and Michael Beasley in one corner and David Kahn in another: the former will try to help a young team flourish while the latter tries to destroy it from the inside.
9. New Orleans- A disappointing reversion to the mean for the hornets cannot bring Seattle's spirits down; NBA ownership is the best news since the drafting of Durant.
10. Oklahoma City- These kids are alright.
11. Phoenix- Making Carter and Gortat into All-Star players is nothing for the undying vampire-emperor Drac that you mortals know as Steve Nash.
12. Portland- Second team should still make the playoffs, first team should beat all the other hospital patients in a game of pickup.
13. Sacramento- My condolences to the Kings for the early death of Tyreke Evans; in lieu of flowers the team has asked that you send cash.
14. San Antonio- Divorce, no Bowen, new players -- nothing can stop the unstoppable and I for one salute our new overlords.
15. Utah- Comeback? We been here for mad years.
