Odom is great and I've always dug Brian Grant-they key for the Heat, however, is to get rookie sensation Dwayne Wade healthy in a hurry. I know the Heat can beat New Orleans and given their 2nd half hot streak and the relative strenght of the East there's no reason why they can't go all the way. The only team that scares me is Indiana-now they have a well rounded team and even Harrington can fill in for Jermaine O'Neal-that's a deep bench! Detroit has alot of weapons but Hamilton can shut down from time to time, B. Wallace's rebound arv. has dropped dramatically and R. Wallace is prone to self-destruct when the pressure's on. If anything can sustain Detroit it's going to be the coincidence of Prince getting hot during the 1 out of 4 games where Hamilton goes cold.
Once C. Webb came back in and Brad Miller got injured my Kings went from one of the best teams I've ever seen to a pile of -------(well you know ) They'll be lucky to beat Dallas-and if Walker and Jamison step up, they won't. So I'll have to fall back on my 2nd fav team-The Timberwolves to go all the way! In Spreewell, Cassell, Owkalandi and Serbiak, KG finally has the backup to do it all! Houston's not going anywhere, the Spurs will vanish in an instant if anything happens to Duncan and if Minnesota has to beat LA to do it-so be it-no way LA, yes you have the talent but I shall fight karma, the stars and the "Zen Master" tooth and nail and you WILL NOT WIN THIS YEAR!!!! ***** Before, you are wise; after, you are wise. In between you are otherwise. Fravashi saying (from the formularies of Osho the Fool) <i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 4/17/04 9:51 am </i>
