Guest Ripper Report post Posted August 16, 2002 Starting Lineup PG- Jason Kidd SG- Kerry Kittles SF- Richard Jefferson PF- Kenyon Martin C- Dikimbe Mutumbo bench PG- Chris Childs SG- Lucious Harris SF- Rodney Rogers PF- Aaron Williams C- Jason Collins. With them signing Rodney Rogers, I think that the only thing that can make them lose the East next year will be themselves. They are quite possibly the deepest team in the league now.

Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 16, 2002 Lakers and Kings are still the teams to beat and with the kings adding keon clark and re-signing bibby you can't over look them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 What about The Bulls! Making a run at The Playoffs this year! PG: Jay Williams SG: Jalen Rose SF:Donyell Marshall PF:Tyson Chandler(New And Improved) C:Eddy Curry(Eh.....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Adding Marshall was key but can they out do the magic pacers celtics 76ers nets pistons hawks (dikau will improve that team) hornets? bulls are young and with marshall and rose you have a nice set up but they're lacking true veteran leadership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Yeah... make a good run while you have Kidd still............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 The Hawks have a Bomb Squad! They've already got Jason Terry,now adding Glenn Robinson and Dan Dickau. Another Team making a run at The Playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I could care less bout new jersey don't confuse my knowledge with fan fare. I'm a lakers and hawks fan always have been. Atlanta is a deadly team that everyone is writing off. Growing up in spokane i went to many gonzaga games and Dan Dikau is a steal in my eyes. Atlanta is going to be the surprise team to many although if you look at them in full they shouldn't be a surprise team at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Bucks even without Robinson are an ok team. Just not as effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 They Still have Ray Allen.Sam Cassell wants to go but I doubt he will. Tracy McGrady: 2003 NBA MVP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Sam would be a great fit in dallas. Allen isn't going to be enouch to carry milwaukee who could end up being the 7th or 8th seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Who had the 7 and 8th Last Year? The Carterless Toronto Raptors and Indiana Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I'm not saying that the seventh or eighth seed is bad. I'm just stating that the bucks w/o Glen won't have the same drive/spark. I don't see Toronto in the playoff hunt this year. THe loss of Keon Clark and neglect of free agents hurt them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 17, 2002 Losing Keon Clark isnt THAT bad, as we still have Carter, Jerome Williams, Davis, Alvin Williams, and two vets like the legend Hakeem Objuwan, and Lidsey Hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I am a HUGE Toronto Raptors fan. I went to all of their playoffs games. Jerome Williams will be the player to watch, he's amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Sorry, I am not homosexual, so I dont judge players but their looks. On a serious note, I met Jerome Williams at WWF Wrestlemania Axxess. Great guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr. Slim Citrus Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Starting lineup PG Nets - Jason Kidd, Kings - Mike Bibby Advantage: Nets SG Nets - Kerry Kittles, Kings - Doug Christie Advantage: Push. Kittles is superior offensively, but eight times out of ten, Christie can contain any SG not named Kobe Bryant, and Kittles is far from Kobe-like. SF Nets - Richard Jefferson, Kings - Predrag Stojakovic Advantage: Kings. For now, anyway. Jefferson impressed me as a rookie in the playoffs, but I didn't see any evidence that he's on Peja's level quite yet. PF Nets - Kenyon Martin, Kings - Chris Webber Advantage: Kings C Nets - Dikembe Mutombo, Kings - Vlade Divac Advantage: Push. I'm not convinced that Mutombo's defensive contribution would be able to offset his relative offensive inferiority to Divac. And, it's not as if Vlade is a poor defender in his own right. He's arguably the second-best pure center in the league; definitely in the top 5, flops and all. Bench PG Nets - Chris Childs, Kings - Bobby Jackson Advantage: Kings SG Nets - Lucious Harris, Kings - Gerald Wallace Advantage: Nets. I think that Wallace is going to become a much better player than Harris, but for now, I give the edge to Lucious' experience. SF Nets - Rodney Rogers, Kings - Hidayet Turkoglu Advantage: Kings. This isn't a slight against Rogers as much as it's a compliment to Turkoglu. I think that Hedo's a better player than Rogers right now, and I think he's going to get even better. PF Nets - Aaron Williams, Kings - Keon Clark Advantage: Push. Williams is likely to see more PT than Clark, but that's most likely due to K-Mart being in foul trouble than any superiority Williams has over Clark. C Nets - Jason Collins, Kings - Scot Pollard Advantage: Kings. His performance against the Lakers in the WCF notwithstanding, Scot Pollard is the best backup center in the NBA, period. He would probably start for at least 20 teams. Verdict: Kings over Nets 5-2-3. They're defiinitely the deepest team in the East, and should repeat as Eastern Conference champs, but hardly the deepest team in the league. The Mavs and Blazers have pretty impressive depth charts, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Hakeen is up their in age and i don't see him doing much this year. I'm not saying Toronto sucks if that's what you're saying. And Keon Clark is a bust out waiting to happen. Sacramento didn't go through the trouble of signing him for nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Of course the Dream is getting old, but he still could help out the younger guys. Lets not forget Raptors also have the legenary Lenny Wilkins as a coach. Raptors will make it to the playoffs, and once again I'll be in the stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bloodice Report post Posted August 18, 2002 They have a good team still not doubting that and wilkins is a great coach. I just think teams like Atlanta and Boston are being unthought of this year. Atlanta will sneak up on some teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
