| QUOTE (derek99512 @ Nov 10 2007, 09:00 PM) | | I think the raps will be second or third in the east this year. although it was a playoff series to late it was great watching the raps rape the nets the other night. boston is looking like they are playing really well together which is bad news for the teams who share the division with them. |
the entire thing with boston wasn't really if they would dominate the east (which they will to some degree) it is whether they can stay away from a key injury, and if depth (or lack of) will be able to take them thru 82 games + any playoff games I don't see them topping the east but that is because I am a raps fan (biast) they pretty much rely on each guy of the big 3 to score 20 points per game (60 points total) then off the bench they only have one guy who can constantly pop in 8-10ppg their other 2 starters are only averaging smthin like 13 points between them altho right now, all healthy, it is not a problem once a key (or even not so key) injury occurs, they have nobody who can step up

| QUOTE (derek99512 @ Nov 11 2007, 12:04 PM) | | it's just such a good combo. kg dominates the inside and ray allen dominates the outside and pierce is a jack ofd all trades. i watched the raps/bulls game last night and what is with the bulls? they arn't playing very good.at one point during the raptors blowing them out of there home arena all the crowd was chanting was "KOBE,KOBE,KOBE,KOBE" |
ya chicago is REALLY below expectations this season the way I see it is that Chicago last year finished 3rd or 4th, anyways they were a top 4 team in the east, SUPER young and super talented, and were highly expected to improve and contest for top spot of the east this year then all the rumors started saying Kobe is going to be traded to Chicago the players probably feel like their worth $1 and feel betrayed since they had so much up side then the talk of Kobe comes along and all of their names are on the trading block I would be a little peeved to, the team is doing fantastic, then suddenly I might get traded away for some jordan wannabe
