    You can argue that Lebron is better than the young McGrady, but you can also argue Lebron's supporting cast vastly >>>>> McGrady's. That being said, I'm not saying McGrady beats anyone when he was young, and I rather take a passing McGrady over a shooting one.

    We don't have to forget that our bench is freaking AMAZING.

    Rockets bench > Any bench in the NBA

    Yesterday, the only reason the Lakers where so good with there bench was because Kobe was still on the court, otherwise, both Bostons and LA's bench are crap.

    Secondly, Gasol is way way to overrated, as well as Bynum. Gasol was like 0-5 in the first Quarter, he wasn't making a single shot. And Bynum, I don't know if it was the pressure or what but he just sucked. Yao would rape him.

    Fisher =< Alston/Brooks
    Kobe > Tmac
    Walton < Battier
    Gasol >= Scolandry
    Bynum < Yao

    I really wasn't impressed by anyone of the teams. The only thing that was impressive was that the Celtics starting 5 are really really good, they where clicking and scoring and everything. Keep them all for the whole game and its a blow-out!
    On the other hand, the only reason the Lakers won was:

    - Lakers where playing like in the playoffs, leaving Kobe on most of the time
    - Celtics were not, getting there rotation together

    At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if both the Cavaliers and the Magic would beat LA & Boston. Because Orlando dominated last night and Cleveland is way more impressive.

    My rankings for the playoffs would be(if the Rockets did not exist):

    - Boston
    - Cleveland
    - Orlando
    - Lakers
