ahh, the suspended member is back.
u can forget about philly winnin the division, last time i checked, the nets and knicks r still there and r deeper teams than the sixers.
and if bogut proves his worth, and TJ comes back near 70-90% of his original self, they can probably get 8th seed.

and i hate to say this, but i have lost faith in allan houston. i really can't see him getting any type of productivity from his knees. he's getting old and killing our cap. personally, i thought he was too soft of a player and i can't see him pulling off a McDyess.

the nets also may seem overrated, but if they stay healthy the entire season, they have a chance to have one of the top 3 spots in the eastern conference. think about it, jason kidd + vince carter + rj? thats a pretty sick trio right there. i think the knicks are going to finish ahead of philly, but andre igoudala has developed into a really good player, him and ai can do a hell of alot of things for the sixers.

either way, the knicks are making the playoffs this year. period.

REPPED, and for ur signature, it should be ........
KNICKS=PLAYOFFS!

The Bulls are making the playoffs, so another team may have to be eliminated. I would eliminate the Bucks.

You're right Kro, we have to stay focus in the 4th quarter. We gave up a ton of games last season, due to 4th quarter collapses. As for Allan, he may retire before the regular season even starts if his knee continues to cause him pain. I agree he is soft, but he has one of the smoothest jump shots in the league, which we can use right now. The key to going back to our winning ways is Marbury. Like I said months ago, this is his last chance to prove to the haters that he can win. Despite what you guys might think, he is the major factor in our teams success or failure. I agree about the Nets, folks are giving them way too much credit. Some fans actually think they winning a championship this year. Their are way too many elite teams out their that have surpassed them. I think their window of opportunity is indeed closing or not closed already. They still big playoff contenders, but I don't see any Final appearances this season, unless they pull off that rumor KG trade (bye RJ). As for the 76ers who I actually like, they will give teams a lot of problems. The key is Chris Webber, if he can stay healthy Philly will be the team to watch. Iggy will only get better, and AI is just AI. Krover for threeeee!

The Heat, Pacers and Pistons are the big 3 that we really need to be paying attention too. Can the Heat continue their winning ways with the new core of players they have on their team? I say yes, and the key is Shaq. He must stay healthy toward the end so they can finish off teams. Stu needs to rest him early in the season and then pump on the minutes toward the end. He is an aging center so you really have to be careful with him. Knick fans know a lot about aging centers. I haven't wrote the Pistons off either, but I want to see where they will be without the disciplinary LB at the helm. Flip is a good coach, but he isn't really big on defense. If they can continue with the same defensive intensity during LB's tenure they will be fine. Lastly, the Pacers are the silent assassins of the East. If Artest can keep his head straight (hopefully) they are the team to beat. Early on in the season they looked deadly, and they showed a lot of heart during the suspension period.

The Cavs, Bulls and Wizards are my dark horses. Can Butler make the Wizards regret losing Larry Hughes? Can Butler step up and contribute and share the ball with Gilbert and Jamison. As for the Cavs getting Larry Hughes will just add more fast break points for this young squad. His steals wil turn into easy buckets for Lebron. Locking up Big Z long term was a plus and if he stays healthy they should finally get into the playoffs. The Marshall pickup was also huge. I don't think Gooden will be around too long time will tell. As for the Bulls, the major factor is their front court. They need Antonio back in the worse way, or make another deal to get additional front line help. Sweetney if he starts and Tyson can only take them so far. They really need veteran front line help. Gordon was no fluke and I expect him to be even better this season. I picked them to make the playoffs as well, and eliminate the Bucks out of the equation. Three young teams that are on the rise and are expected to make noise this season.

i like that list because a lot of people talk about the pistons but i think the pacers will be better...especially if ron gets in mid season form early...as a matter of fact i think the pacers will have the best record in the east not the heat

good read and ill rep u.as for net fans seein the nets in the finals, i dont believe they r right either.

but every team has fans like that and u cannot blame them for their optimisim.but somtimes they get over themselves.example: my friend is a philly fan and he says sixers will be champs and iguodala will be better than jordan.and he says louis williams will be rook of the year.
i think of him as a ****ing retard.lol

Sixers are NOT winning the atlantic division, they will be battling the Knicks for 2nd in Atlantic, which I think the Knicks will win. Sixers have NO bench.

dynamiks · 10-14-2005, 06:51 PM

I don't see the nets finishing 1st. I think the Sixers have a better chance. If Carter gets injuried like he did in Toronto. It's over for the Nets. The knicks and sixers are just better all around. That is why the NEts won't win atlantic division. As for the bucks maknig the playoffs, NO WAY!!!

ChosenFEW · 10-14-2005, 07:14 PM

thats true....if carter's legs dont hold up the whole season the nets are screwed
