kobe didn't have it in the fourth, they should have went to odom down the stretch because he was killing them in the paint


Not for a 3... maybe for a layup then a quick foul to test the Magic's FT shooting...

No more than the knicks... really... I can see the pistons, since they are a veteran team..

The heat I don't think are deep enough. the sixers could be dangerous as long as someone seperates brand's shoulder again.. LOL..

But the magic seem to be for real...



I know I know...you refuse to believe in the Bucks. You believe in the Sixers more than the Bucks? OK, as long as Brand is out... :D

Heat are still looking to make a trade, so we have to wait.

The Magic are for real. They will win about 56 games and start to remind folks of the Mavericks against GSW, or Toronto vs NJ... That type of free flowing offense looks great in the regular season but unless you're top notch in more than just one position a solid team can come in and test you. To me they only win ONE position night in / night out... after that, I'm still questioning them.

Hey, TheBluest, how about them Hawks? :lol:

they are 32-and have the best road record in the NBA... I doubt they will be a first round exit playing a lower seed. they are good. van gundy is doing a good job with them.... I can't believe they are this good.. 32-8


I don't know man... if Orlando faces Pistons, Heat or Bucks in the first round...things could get ugly.

I think the Bucks are Bammer but they should be judged off how they have played with Redd back. They are better.

Stutter the Hawks have been losing but they are still a 4rth seed. Joe Johnson look at his production this month and that tells you all you need to know along with Horford being out the past 4gms.

The EAST is so bad right now that me and my 35/over squad could make the playoffs.

Hawks are going to make the playoffs but not at the clip they showed early in the season.

They're way ahead of last yrs pace. The East has an overall better record against the West head-to-head play. The problem is the East is so bad playing each other.

Very true... The EAST has 3 top teams, the Hawks, and 9 more in close to each other.

The West has 3 top teams, and 6 teams better than the Hawks, etc...and 6 teams headed to the lottery since December 1 (the bottom feeders).

Tonight the Hawks lost to a Western bottom feeder, so did the Pistons!
