Are the Sonics as good as they seem? For that matter, can Isaih actually coach after all? Whither Reggie when he returns? And, finally, are the Nets good enough to be worthy Finals participants?
I would say yes to all of those. When the Sonics are hot, not a team in the league can bet them. Also I like the Pacers in the East, I think they can match up against any theam in the East. I don't think the Nets will make the Finals but they will come close.
The sonics have enough talent to make them a very solid team. Their core players are: Payton Barry Lewis Radmanovic Mason When these guys are hot, they can cause hell.
The Sonics are good, but they won't be like this for the whole season. They will probably be fighting for the last 2 playoffs spots.
They don't appear to have any inside guys at all. Less than houston even. Although Jerome james looked like an allstar vs. ming and collier.
