about cleveland, i presonally think they're the fourth best team in the east. i dont see any other east team being able to compete with the west in a finals match up. and that depends how well cleveland play, because we havent seen a whole lot and it'll take time for them to come together as a team. but they have some good potential. perhaps the wiz have some firepower, i think any team with antawn jamison and gilbert arenas is dangerous to play. philly are'nt looking too bad either, webbers been playing well and seems to have found his footing with iverson. pity korver and iggy are'nt quite there yet, but they'll get there soon.topic poser here... who do you think will just get in the playoffs in the bottom few seeds? its easier top call whos gonna be in the top four so who u reckon in the bottom four?
Don't forget NJ. They're off to a pretty good start and they got the players to back it up the whole season so I wouldn't call the Cavs a shoo in just yet for spot #4.
Dan Z - The T-Mac one looks the coolest but I'd go with Wade just because he is so much cooler. Also, my paragraph was really just about "the whole world is saying nobody else has a chance." I was just pointing out that I don't believe people think that, but they are the most logical favorite.
If the Kings keep playing the way they are right now, Aldeman will be gone pretty quickly. I personally think it needs to happen sooner rather than latter.
Bonzi has played pretty well. He hasn't shot the ball well and he's tournover prone but he's played decent defence and damn the dude been a man on the boards unlike Peja 'no penis' stojakovic who treats a rebound like the plague.
Sixers won by like 16 last night. Finally other players started scoring besides Webber and Iverson. In the third quarter, Kyle Korver was crazy. Every shot he put up would go it. He could have hit it off his held while blindfolded from half-court and it still would've went in. Webber had 20 points and 9 rebounds, Iggy had 20 points and 7 rebound or something like that. Korver had 20+ points, and Iverson hadlike 23 i believe and a nice amount of assists.

Glad you did it against the Mavs instead of the Lakers this weekend. 😉
We shall see. 😈
Seriously though its my first chance to see the Lakers play this year so i just hope i see some signs that they are coming together as a team. They have made a much better start than i thought they would with their only losses coming on the end of back to back games.
From Phillys point of view, im interested to see how the Iverson - Webber combo is working. If you think about it there isnt any reason for it not to be a good pairing. Webber is probably the best passing big man in the league, so if they ran their offence though him im sure he could create alot of easy opportunities for AI and others. I would have loved to see either Vlade (in his prime) or Webber in Laker colours to get Kobe some easier looks.
Did anyone see the Heat - Pacers game? Man that was a good game, you can tell that is gonna be a great rivalry for years to come. I hope they meet in the playoffs. Mourning is amazing, 7 rejections! Talk about depth at the center position for the Heat once Snaq gets back. I actually think Mourning gives them more of a presence defensively than Snaq because he is a better shot blocker and defends the pick and roll alot better. He is also a hungrier rebounder, what a luxury it will be to have a guy like that on the bench come playoff time. Miami's offence looked patchy at times but thats to be expected at this stage of the season. One thing that struck me was the amount of isolation plays they run for Walker, maybe when he is on his game thats a good strategy but he was throwing up some garbage yesterday. Ultimately Miami is gonna have to improve their perimeter defense if they are gonna contend with Detriot and the Spurs, J-Will is a matador defender who will be schooled by the Nash's and Parker's of the league.
