    I would have to say my Hornets With Chris Paul back from injury. i see them doing something this year. hopefully they can get another SF or SG to help out with depth. Marcus Thornton is good but is considered short at 6'4". Julian wright still hasnt lived up to standard. Those rookies/draft picks aint hitting on ? .

    Break out player JJ Hickson

    Son has been great in every summer league. His rookie year he got no time, last year he was starting to emerge as a nice player then lost all his time to Shaq and Tawn right when he was playing great, I believe he had 7 straight double doubles and 15+ point games before he get benched, the last two were both career high games in points.


    Break out team.....
    Heat? They were ass last year, It aint suprising but they will have the biggest turn around.

    If you don't want to count them............
    Knicks lol. They got some nice pieces in the offseason, Amare lucked out and got back into D'Antonis system so he wouldnt have got exposed.

    team- wizards. they won 26 games last year with blatche and little else. this year they add wall, arenas, a much improved mcgee and trevor booker who will be a nice hustle guy. they could 35 games which might be enough for an 8th seed

    player- omri casspi- had a nice first half last year then tailed off. i can see him having a nice year playing off cuz and evans

    Break out player Anthony Randolph

    Hes finally going to get consistent run and most likely start at the 4 for the knicks. If he can stay healthy i expect big things from him next year nh

    Break out Team Oklahoma City Thunder

    got a taste of the playoffs last year and gained valuable experience. Durant along with Westbrook and Green are still young and improving which is scary. I expect them to make serious run in the playoffs.

    if the Clippers can stay healthy i can see them making a push for the 8th spot in the west. Gordon could potentially break out and be a 23 4 and 4 guy next season

    Baron Davis

    Eric Gordon

    Rasual Butler

    Blake Griffin 

    Chris Kaman

    --

    Rasual Butler
    Al Farouq Aminu 
    Craig Smith
    Randy Foye
    Ryan Gomes
    Eric Bledsoe
    DeAndre Jordan


    I think we on the cusp of a fucken breakout but I say that every year.

    I dont know B.G. has to be a monster for us to even have a sniff of the playoffs.

    And like you said Eric Gordon needs to carry us.

    I honestly feel Baron still has it in him, but I dont know how him and Vinny will get along, philosophy wise..

    I just feel we arent there yet. 

    Not unless we make one more good move signing a vet.

    I like anthony Randolph. He is from the Dallas and played at LSU but he aint going to be no better than Stromile Swift. The LSU curse is in full effect.

    Anthony Randolph got no jumpshot.

    He's all hustle, I watched about 30 Warriors games last year and the year before, I like him too when he stays on the court.

    Azubuike might do damage for the Knicks if they let him run, he's got external motivations.

    Last year was supposed to be his big breakout but he ? his knee up. Not to mention he pretty much raises his family because his fathers locked up.

    They basically drafted Ekpe Udoh to fill Randolphs void.

    How the ? can the Thunder break out again after just breaking out..?

    They can only improve their playoff run, and get past the 1st round.

    ? misinterpreting the term "breakout" now.

    na he has a nice mid range game the problem is nellie never ran any plays for him. They had beef from day one. He just needs to get stronger and be more decisive

    You know what, honestly..

    I dont like that team.

    For some reason.

    If they play the Rapers in the playoffs again, I'm cheering for them all the way, but other than that.. The Thunder ? me off

    I like Durant too, so thats not even a reason.

    Something about this Thunder phenomenon in the last year or whatever really made me hate them.

    Serge Ibaka is one player I really began to hate.

    I gotta say kobe. ? talked bad about him on here and the media all season about how he fell off and lebon and durant has supassed him and all that jazz. Then he wins the title, and all ? can talk about is lebron becoming wade's robin. So i fell he is gonna come bacc motivated as fucc this season, to not only silence the doubters, but to get a 2nd 3peat as well.

    Javale McGee for the Wizards, A Randolph from the Knicks, and Westbrook from OKC, they are going to have a good yr. That Westbrook kid is going to be a beast.

    Team: Bucks, they got a real nice squad I can see them being in the top 4 if Bogut comes back healthy

    Player: Raymond Felton, I think this was the most underrated signing the whole offseason. Knicks fans can't stop talking CP3 but reality is he's not going anywhere. And I think Felton going to surprised people on how good he is.
