    why do people think we'd crush cleveland and lose to Boston?? I hope its not because we beat them once. I'd rather face boston, they arent as deep as cleveland and don't have lebron. We can contain KG, allen, and pierce more easily. Dont think lebron is always going to have a bad game like he did against us earlier. Plus, KG's been injured, there's a chance he'll have to play with a bum knee the whole way.

    It would be difficuly without a fit Tracy McGrady! However it will be great learning experience for next year. Of course McGrady will only be of use to the team if he is able asume the role of a role player, playing catch and shoot, no dribbling and no trying to set himself up for his low percentage shots. Alternatively he could be also retrained as the starting Point Guard.

    Our chances for this year will improve if the coach used Wafer and White as spot up scorers. :p

    Everybody in playoffs has a chance. But in reality, a team with the worst starting PG among them isn't goint to win it all.

    Not really. Just not talented enough - yet. Give Morey one more season of tinkering, though, and I think we'll have the horses to compete.

    Thas rookie from Miami is better than Brooks, or at least on the same level, if you ask me.

    Yao will get old. Tmac will be gone. Rockets will need an above average PG plus some more talents to compete for Championship. Too bad Morey didn't accept the Detroit trade before the season, otherwise Rox might stand in 1st place.

    He's where Brooks was last year, so they're not that far apart. He's better defensively, brooks better offensively, but Brooks' extra year i think makes him a bit more consistent and more experience at the NBA level.

    To be honest, I don't think Brooks is better offensively. Better shooting than Brooks, better assists/To retio, more assists with ball in his hands less.
