1. C's
2. Pistons
3. Spurs
4. Lakers (no bynum is huge when you play the big boys)

And putting rondo behind D Fish and Rasheed ahead of KG? You serious?

I think whoever comes out of the east takes it all.

This is a funny post.

1. Who is Gary Fisher?
2. KG at 3?
3. Boston bench the worst?

yup come playoff time I'd definitely much rather have Rasheed Wallace over Kevin Garnett. Same can be said for D Fish who plays good defense not as good as Rondo, but gives you a lot more in terms of steadying the offense and hitting big shots at home and away.

The Pistons would be playing the Cavs right now if we had Rasheed instead of KG.

I think this is actually biased towards the Celtics. He did list Paul Pierce as the best and Perkins better than Oberto. Not too mention Rondo over Stucky. :roll:

Seriously, Rasheed over KG is a joke.

okay umn yeah who are you takening ahead of Pierce? Bowen?

Stuckey isn't a starter and assume Billups is healthy [he should be] will be getting somewhere around 15-20mpg. So that puts him apart of the DET bench.

Perkins/Oberto is close.

yeah, but the lakers are 16-3 over their last 19 games with 11 of those victories coming against 50+ win teams. they definitely would have a lift with bynum but pau and odom are doing fine as the lakers bigs.

i've got my list with a 3 way tie on top and the celtics at the bottom (allen taking a dump nightly and not being able to get a road win against the hawks and cavs the main reasons)

1a lakers
1b spurs
1c pistons
4 celtics

That's actually a pretty good list, but I'd go with this:

1a. Lakers
1b. Spurs
2. Pistons
3. Celtics
