Polls show, that 65% of NBA fans think that the SOuthwest is the toughest division.
Out of 20 people, these are th results.

Southwest: 13 people
Pacific: 2 people
Alantic: 2 people
Southeast: 2 people
Central: 1 people

The southwest is the only division with all but 1 teams over .500

The 2 people I asked about the Atlantic said it was because of the Big 3 and Chris Bosh.

Pacific: Kobe, Pau, Steve, Amare, Shaq, Baron, Lamar, J-Rich, etc.

Southeast: Hawks + Magic + Marion, Wade, and Beasley

Central: LeBron and AI

What do you guys think of these?

yes of course man!

spurs,rockets,mavs and hornets are tough man!

and don't forget about grizzlies they have some young players!

Memphis, future .500 team, just not now

Yeh, that division will remain tough. As Dallas slowly drop, Memphis will rise, and New Orleans, San Antonio and Houston will be contender for a while yet.

They are definitely the toughest team

Hornets have great young players, as well as Memphis.

Rockets, Spurs, and Mavs will remain with Vets.

But I can see each of them make PLay-Offs

Yes, it is the South west for sure..

You can't count out Central and Southeast, though.

Central: Cavs, Pistons, Bucks, Bulls, Pacers

Southeast: Magic, Hawks, Heat, Bobcats

Nah this division is definitely the strongest, just take a look at the quality teams in it.

Yes, Central, Southeast also very worthy.

The Central Divison is a lot strong imo.

As these are the Centrals top teams: Spurs, Hornets and Rockets
As these are the Southeast top teams: Hawks, Magic and Heat

Sure the Magic are good but in the Central Divison they have 3 teams in the top 6 teams in the nba.

Hey, the Central division is the one with Pistons, Cavs, Bucks, Pacers, and Bulls.

You are talking about Southwest with Spurs, Hornets, and Rockets. But you forgot Mavs.

I agree the Southwest with the Spurs, Hornets, Rockets, Mavericks, and Memphis is probably the toughest division in the NBA and it has been in the past few years. The Central is a great division and a strong one too but they don't have as much as a competition team setup as the Southwest division.

To even break down into more detail, the Spurs and the Hornets last year were fighting for the top spot throughout the year and I didn't think once I couldn't see that they stayed in the same spot. Mavericks are also a very good team although struggling this year, they have always been a top team in the division but they also contend as a very tough team in the whole Western Conference. They might not be something this year but in past years these guys have contended in the Conference and Division as big competition. The Rockets are also like the Mavericks and these guys are always in the mix with the Playoffs and in the Division, hence them being a great team and a competitive one. Memphis most people won't think about because of there record, but they have young guys and in a few years will be a top team in the NBA so right now there nothing but they will be something big in the future.

The Southwest division I agree is the toughest and the most competitive I must admit, they are always fighting for a top spot no matter what team it is and they are all good and difficult teams. Really this is something they all do and it excels with these teams, I agree it it is the Southwest division is that is the toughest division.


I'm new here and this was my first post, just letting everyone know lol.

Yeah the Spurs and the Hornets are really in a battle to be on the top of this division. I think the New Orleans Hornets will finish on top if Chris Paul remains fit and still continues will his be assists. Today the Hornets were struggling against the Bucks but mid way through the 3rd they began to hit there straps. The Mavericks have been under the radar as Jason Terry been out for a lot of the season and he is one of their key men, Dirk is definitely lifting them but not enough as to much pressure is on him. They should be a little force next year

Central were great with the Bulls in the 90's. Then the Pistons and Pacers in the late 90's and early 2000's. Now the revolution has shifted toward the Caveliers. I want to see the Bucks own the era soon. And hopefully the whole division will bounce back. Great talent, but everyone is just either too old or too young to show up.

Well, besides:
LeBron James
Michael Redd
Derrick Rose
Richard Hamilton
Danny Granger
