Or the Jazz are just really good. They've beaten almost every good Eastern Conference team. Do you look at that lineup and honestly think it's legitimately as good as a typical 27-6 team? Because you'd have to be delusional. |

They've beaten 2 of the top 6 Eastern teams - the Knicks & Sixers. And the one vs Sixers was by 3 points when they didn't have GG.
The Jazz are very good, but put them out East, they'd be at best the 5th or 6th seed.

Because you'd have to be delusional. They don't have a superstar but they are incredibly balanced, every player in their rotation is an above average defender, they block alot of shots, don't turn the ball over. They might not look like a powerhouse team but they have the perfect formula for winning. I strongly believe that they'd be near the top of the Eastern Conference standings if they were in the East. |

Yeah, great team. Not 27-6. It is a great formula, you're right. I think on any night, it could beat most teams. I also think it doesn't have one superstar and can be doesn't have the talents of most of the contenders of the East, and I think it'd be at best the fifth seed. Doesn't mean Utah isn't a 50 win team, but 27-6 is on pace for like 65 wins, and they're not anywhere near that good. |

I've already beaten them once, let's see how they fare vs. the rest of the Central, then the argument can be made. |

He & I actually have very similar teams, but I still think I'd beat him in a 7 game series.

I think i've come to the realization that we won't make the playoffs if we don't get the right dc. The east is just too stacked.
Still, gunna enjoy the vacation. We have kd, darko, conley, it's all good.

Skillz, "i need a decision, i leave at 4 in the morning. If you decide to do it, post and use this as my acceptance". Where in that does it say you need an immediate response? |

5-1 since making the trades and now Bynum is back. Love the balance we now have. The cavs own us tho they've beat us twice already. We're 1-2 against them.

First things first, Williams is out with a torn abdominal muscle, which is a fairly decent loss for our team. He is a very good role player and fills in as a starter when I feel like messing with the DC.

Finally, I have to agree with Aaron and Nova about the fact that my team is very good, but not elite. I have been the beneficiary of many things this season including more close victories than I can ever remember having in a season, a weak conference, and running into teams at the right time.
We all know that FBB favors teams with 2/3 bonafide superstars, which my team certainly lacks. The argument can be made that Brand is pretty legit and Roe/Walker/Knight are all borderline superstars, but it's nothing like Nanz's combo of Paul/Melo/Smith/ Big Al or Dan's combo of Okafor/Monta/Thad just to name the recent championship winners. I guess a winning team I would consider remotely comparing myself to was the Heat because they had an extremely stong lineup up and down and very good depth. Certainly my team is no where near the level of that team as far as superstar power either, but I can say that a combination of many good things has happened for me this season.
What's most baffling to me is the fact that I am 17-2 on the road, which is considerably better than my record of 10-4 at home. I don't really know what to make of that statistic, but I guess it's cool.

How I am still winning confuses me.
9th projected pick right now? This team is so much worse than that.
I seem to have Outlawz's number here.
