What NBA team would be unexpected to do well this coming 08-09 season?

Question

I think its going to be the warriors even without Baron Davis and Matt Barnes in the line up... Monta's going to step up fow sho! and additions like marcus williams, turiaf and maggette

Answer 1

^Brandon rush aint a trail blazer, he was traded to indianaFOR Bayless

pple say phili, houston, portland, and hello! those WONT b suprises lol everyone knows they have talent.  I say the Bobcats w/ a healthy Wallace, J-Richardson, Felton, and now DJ, there gonna b really talented, and now they have a very proven coach in brown, all they need is to resign okefor, and there going to b a suprise team.

I also like the warriors, but if only they would have given Josh Smith the money instead of Maggette, thed b even better.  but warriors should b good, its all on Monte and Marcus williams tho, they have to step up and run the team

Answer 2

The Oklahoma City Team

They are full of young talent

I'm not saying playoffs, just better than people expect

Answer 3

76ers & miami

Answer 4

OKC

Answer 5

I would have to say the Bucks and Pacers. The Bucks now have two 20+ players and have Villi. who is an unpredictable player and can get double doubles. They also have Williams who is a great PG for them and Bogut who i think will become a lot better.

The Pacers have made a lot of roster changes this year. They have aquired a great PG as long as he in not injuried. Dunleavy is coming off a great season. Murphy is an underrated player in my opinion who can also get double doubles along with hitting the 3. They have also aquired Rasho and Hibbert which will give them great depth. At the guard spot, they have Diener who will be a good backup and also have Jack and Rush who will be a good shooter.

Answer 6

miami because they got the big 3 wade,marion and besley

Answer 7

Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Sixers, Heat, Bucks, Blazers, Bulls.

you already expect these teams to do great next season for acquiring legitimate superstars. but if you talked about unexpected like what HAWKS, SIXERS, and BLAZERS did last season. I'll go with the Pacers, to trade their franchise player for younger players is a sign they want to rebuild tehir team. so its a tough choice and the results are not really insight. but i probably think they have a chance to surpass what they gave done last season.

Answer 8

sactown kings

Answer 9

miami heat

Answer 10

hmmm portland for sure.. they are full of suprises

jerryd bayless was a sensation in the summer league, also players like brandon rush and lemarcus aldridge.

they are defnitly building in the right direction!

Answer 11

My choice is for the Warriors.  Yea no Baron Davis and no Matt Barnes, but keep in mind that Barnes played like half the season last year and that was the year the Warriors finished with 48 wins.  Davis' presence on the court will be missed, but must i bring up that one guy that everyone seem to have forgotten---Stephen Jackson.  Yes, we have heard Ellis must emerge into a star next year and we also got maggette and also resigned Biedrins.  But how abou the guy who have slipped under the radar S-jax.  Many forogt this guy averaged 20 points last year!  Hes a three machine and solid from the line(and we know the Warriors lack these players).

Warriors went 0-7 after S-jax's 7 game suspension to start the year.  Now he will play 82(hopefully).  

Another team could be the Bucks.  Michael Redd and Richard Jefferson along with Mo Will.  Many arent even talking about the Bucks, but i have them penciled in for a playoff spot next season.
