This is how the West will be won this season:
| 1 | If Amare's even 75% of what he was 2 years ago- WATCH OUT. | |
| 2 | They blew a great chance to get a ring last season, but I guess the refs had a little something to do with that. | |
| 3 | Yaaaawwwnnn... More than the dress code and the new ball, David Stern should work to ban the Spurs from the NBA. They're THAT bad for the ratings. | |
| 4 | Shawn Livingston's going to have a breakout season. Their owner is a loser though. | |
| 5 | They should be a top 3 team, but do you really think they're going to be healthy? | |
| 6 | They'll be the top dog in a weak division. | |
| 7 | Do you really think a team with Kobe and Phil won't make the playoffs? | |
| 8 | Do you really think a team with Baron, JRich, and Nellie won't make the playoffs?!! "UNSTOPPABLE BABY!" | |
| 9 | Ron-Ron's predicting finals, but I'm predicting the end of the playoffs in hickville for a few years. | |
| 10 | Jerry Sloan will have them playing hard the whole season, but it won't be enough with Derek Fisher trying to be the Salt Lake Kobe. | |
| 11 | They overachieved last season, overpaid for Peja, and picked up Tyson Chandler's bad contract. | |
| 12 | Fellas, there's a nice spot for you in San Jose. | |
| 13 | They've won as many playoffs games as the Warriors in the past 12 seasons. | |
| 14 | FREE KG! KG luvs India and we luv KG. Bring KG to the Bay! | |
| 15 | They're fielding a college team. | |
