CNNSI.com's Division Previews: Midwest (Projected Order of Finish) |
 |
If Terry Porter, Antonio Daniels and free-agent signee Bruce Bowen can defend the perimeter, the Spurs should again be a formidable power. |
 |
Mark Cuban shelled out big bucks in the offseason to re-sign Michael Finley and Shawn Bradley, ensuring one of the NBA's best starting units would stay intact. |
 |
John Stockton and Karl Malone, along with Bryon Russell and newly signed center John Amaechi, will be too smart and disciplined to fall out of contention.
|
 |
The T'wolves should benefit from the new zone rules. They have ample jumpshooters, and they might be able to mask their lack of one-on-one defenders by zoning up.
|
 |
The Dream is gone, but there's still optimism in Houston. Point guard Steve Francis is more than ready to usher in a new era in Rockets history. |
 |
The Nuggets failed to address their most glaring weakness: shooting guard. Denver hopes Isaiah Rider can provide some scoring help, but his history makes him a gamble. |
 |
After five years in Vancouver, the Grizzlies have moved to Memphis. Unfortunately for their new fans, the team figures to be singing the same old losing tune. |
