Surprises: Pau Gasol is gonna be a major player. I like him a lot. Andre Miller... I felt we should have made a push for him a year ago to get rid of Mobley and make Francis a 2. Paul Pierce... never thought much of him until this year. Felt he was solid then I witnessed the 46 points in one half against Nets (definitely one of the best games of the year) and the 21 points in the third quarter against Denver. I'm a believer. Frowns: T-Mac, I think he's better than Vince, but something's up with him. Vince, he's not that great at beating anyone off the dribble, but that first step is nasty. He loves those jumpers way too much. Hakeem's legacy, he's about to be pushed out by Shaq (I had to put that one in).
