NBA Top 10 for '10

[King Glorious]

1-Cleveland. I thought they were the best team this year but they couldn't match up well with Orlando. That's how it goes sometimes. There can be one or two teams that you don't match up well with but still be the best overall team in the league. If the Lakers had to play Charlotte in the Finals, they might get swept (lol). The addition of Shaq is huge. The don't even need him to repeat this year but if he can give them 13-7 a night, it's over. I love the addition of Danny Green as a perimeter defender with some length.

2-Boston. The injury to Garnett gave him half a year off. But more important, it gave guys like Davis and Powe a chance to gain significant experience. Rondo really stepped it up big time in the playoffs too. I think that the drafting of Hudson is going to pay big for them. I see him a lot like Rodney Stuckey in Detroit. He can play both guard positions. He can shoot the ball, something Rondo can't do. He can create and finish, something Allen can't do.

3-Denver. They gave the Lakers all they could handle and had a very realistic chance of beating them. I'm a believer in the feeling that teams need to go to through the process to know what it feels like and I think having this season under their belt and a better backup for Billups will make them the team to beat in the West.

4-Los Angeles. Right there with Denver. Never count out Kobe Bryant. He's getting up there and has put a lot of wear on his body but he's just so damn good. I think it's more important for them to keep Odom than Ariza but losing either one drops them just below Denver. If they keep both, I'll put them right ahead of the Nuggets. I think Odom is the key, not Bryant or Bynum.

5-Orlando.
6-Porland.
7-San Antonio.
8-Utah.
9-LA Clippers.
10-Dallas.
