Clippers Jazz Sonics and possibly the nuggets if ducky would quit being a dumbass and move a SG to get a PG. To quote yourself, "wow". id love to see monta and random SG try to beat Arenas and Parker |

I have some big holes but my guys took over last year in the playoffs. I am counting on them doing it again. Even when I had weaker teams with Emeka we still always managed the conference finals because he was so good. could be possible as fbb playoffs tend to benefit teams with stars far more than balanced teams. its not like im saying the bucks suck. but i dont see them as a favorite like mark does LOL'd at this. FBB tends to benefit teams with stars far more than balanced teams because... the team with three superstars is better than the balanced team. It is literally proven every single year. |

I don't necessarily think the Bucks are the favorite because when there are so many great EC teams, I don't like favorites. Too easy for a team to get knocked off. If I had to say who the best team in the East is though, yeah, it is the Bucks. Ton of Eastern teams are with them but I'd take the Bucks right now. No Western teams are close to them. But disregarding that, I'm curious... who are your top-8 teams in BBS right now? Or are you just going to take winning %?

It looked like you were implying that the balanced team is as good or better on paper than the team with three stars, but FBB tends to benefit teams with stars. |

I just think you're incredibly off in how you view the league.

Deng is the only player playing well which leads me to believe i need a change in dc. Everyone else is playing so much worse than they normally do.

Ugh, I really thought I could push for the playoffs this season. I'm missing that impact SF/SG-type, I suppose. I'm hoping Ely develops into that for me.

why does it matter? Jeez we went through all of this last season and even made a huge thread about. Who cares! It does suck for these east teams to have more competition then the west but we already did this last year. I don't know why we have to bring it up alll the time.

Hahahaha. I love it. 14-3 and no one can believe it.
7-0 since I moved to the fast pace, and over some pretty solid teams too.
Ivan, Kemba, & Thabeet are playing excellent, and Green & Varnado are doing exactly what I need them to do.

It does suck for these east teams to have more competition then the west but we already did this last year. I don't know why we have to bring it up alll the time. I didn't at all bring this up because of the competition in the East. In the end, the competition isn't a big deal really. You still need to win that final series. I brought this up not to re-hash the "should we trade teams from one conference to another" argument (which was what the huge thread was about) but just to talk about the actual teams THIS year. With your team dealing its two best players into the East I think it's pretty interesting that we can legitimately talk of the top 8+ teams being in one conference. That wasn't the case last year because your team was always a top-team, and Ducky could argue his as well because of Conley (in addition to his current core). It is pretty unprecedented that the balance of power in one particular season is this lop-sided. If anything (in regards to the West/East debate) I think the West has strengthened its future as a conference because of some moves aar has made/LQR/Utah etc. |
