they havent named the divisions yet

*it still has to be voted on next month but this is the most realistic breakdown that will be favored next month*

lakers vs sac will be a good rivalry all over again

and it sucks for Memphis...i like them and hope they will be a contender soon...but that division is fucking brutal

Will it affect the playoff spots or will the top eight still get in?...that would be funny if a team won their division but didnt make the playoffs

CHAROLETT HAS A WACK MASCOT, THE BOBCATS, COME ON NOW, MUTHAFUCKAS COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER. THEY ALSO GOT SOME ULGY BRIGHT ORANGE JERSEYS UGHHHH!!!

I WOULD OF CALLED THEM THE CHAROLETT FLIGHT. THEY SHOULD HAVE SPORTED THE NORTH CAROLINA COLORS. WAY TOO SAUCEY.

wow, the west just got harder.

You know what people say about the east.
"if an east coast team came to the West, they wouldn't be shit."

Well, lets wait and see how far they get in the playoffs.

Portland has a very good chance to when their divison

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Im tryin to figure out how did Memphis end up a western conference team.

 

[bayGIANTS]

^^ they had ot divide it somehow. there are a lot more teams close together in the east. its like how Atlanta used to be in the west in the mlb and nfl. You gotta make it even and they make the most sense.

I dont think the realignment will make that much difference since the # of playoff spots aint gonna change.
