    Ok, say you missed the entire NBA season - and that includes news, games, friends telling you about it. The last time you watched it would have been when the Lakers beat Indiana for the title. You do not know of any transactions that took place after this game.

    So, would you have thought Philly would be atop the East?

    Milwaukee in serious contention for the title?

    Would you have thought the Mavs would go as far as they did, let alone make the playoffs?

    Would you have thought the Boston Celtics nearly made the Playoffs?

    Would you have thought the Clippers would have won 30 games?

    Would you have thought that Sir Charles would ever do the YMCA again?

    Would you have thought the Raptors pushed it to 7 in the Eastern Semi's against the top team in the East?

    Would you have thought Charlotte would completely obliterate the Miami Heat?

    Would you have thought Sacramento would be as high as they were in the seedings?

    Would you have thought the Knicks would trade away Patrick Ewing?

    Just some things to ponder about. Anybody got any more?

    So, would you have thought Philly would be atop the East? -- Yes, I thought that during Philly's gritty playoff performance last season.

    Milwaukee in serious contention for the title? -- No.

    Would you have thought the Mavs would go as far as they did, let alone make the playoffs? -- Definitely not. A total surprise.

    Would you have thought the Boston Celtics nearly made the Playoffs? -- The Celtics nearly made the playoffs???

    Would you have thought the Clippers would have won 30 games? -- Sure. 30 games is no big deal.

    Would you have thought that Sir Charles would ever do the YMCA again? -- No.

    Would you have thought the Raptors pushed it to 7 in the Eastern Semi's against the top team in the East? -- Yes. The Raptors put together a pretty nice team.

    Would you have thought Charlotte would completely obliterate the Miami Heat? -- Hell no! Anyone who answers yes to this one is lying.

    Would you have thought Sacramento would be as high as they were in the seedings? -- Sure. The Kings were a pretty good team last year and were obviously still improving at that point.

    Would you have thought the Knicks would trade away Patrick Ewing? -- Yes, I'm surprised they didn't do it earlier.

    Would you have thought the Raptors pushed it to 7 in the Eastern Semi's against the top team in the East? Yea, I would still think that they have McGrady

    Milwaukee in serious contention for the title? I would believe it, they played really well in the playoffs last year and with the maturity of their stars, they seemed to be on the verge of becoming a contender.

    Would you have thought the Mavs would go as far as they did, let alone make the playoffs?
    Yes, they came on really strong at the end of last season, which was basically a preview of what they did this year.
    Would you have thought the Boston Celtics nearly made the Playoffs?

    Would you have thought the Clippers would have won 30 games?
    Yes, they have a lot of young talent.
    Would you have thought that Sir Charles would ever do the YMCA again?
    When did he ever do it before [​IMG]
    Would you have thought the Raptors pushed it to 7 in the Eastern Semi's against the top team in the East?
    Definitely not. I thought Carter was completely overrated and that he would not be able to lead a team for quite some time.
    Would you have thought Charlotte would completely obliterate the Miami Heat?
    I did watch this season, and I still didn't think it would happen.
    Would you have thought Sacramento would be as high as they were in the seedings?
    No, I wouldn't have been able to predict the emergence of Stoyakovic, which was the biggest factor in their improvement this year.
    Would you have thought the Knicks would trade away Patrick Ewing?
    Yes, that team never seemed very loyal.
