Re: Orlando @ Boston
I think if you're Boston perhaps Jefferson wasn't the right guy to back as your franchise player. Remember Dwight and Al's rookie years, when Boston fans would compare the two? They've gone in slightly different directions since then. If I'm Boston I re-think Jefferson as the future of my franchise, if it hasn't happened already. He might still pan out, but he has a long way to go and obviously didn't deal too well with the labels and superlatives.
As for Orlando, we're doing well. 5-3 thus far, I'm happy with that. I'd like to see the coaching improve and us to keep TOs low though. All in all it's been a decent start, considering we haven't looked as impressive as at the end of last year.
As long as Miami continues to falter, and Shaq continues to sit out/play badly we should be in the running for division champs.
