Well it doesn't help that the defending champion Pistons have been mediocre until the last couple weeks. And the Pacers' meltdown with Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal has been well documented. That leaves Miami and Cleveland as the only remaining respectable teams in the conference, and it's not like they're loaded with talent.
Yep. They better come out with the same intensity tonight as they did last night. Can't afford to lose any more games that we should win. Plus we have a tough stretch coming up with the Spurs, Grizz, Pacers, and Magic (very little rest between those games).
The scary part about the Atlantic Division is, outside of POSSIBLY New York, I don't have confidence in any of those clubs getting hot and finishing with a winning record. How pathetic would it be to have a 41-41 division champion hosting a 44-38 6th seed and having homecourt advantage? Crazy.
