Well considering that Devin Harris started the season as the starting point guard over Jason Terry who we all sure know is good, is a pretty good indicator that he's better than Nocioni. How could Harris even be a washout when he's a rookie. 
And better defense? Harris averaged 1.01 steals/gm while Nocioni only .46. That's 2nd in steals per 48 min for Harris. Not bad for a washout rookie who can't defend.

Detroit has been having a hard time with the 76ers, they are scoring just fine on the pistons, the heat are a lot more solid on offense, detroits defense doesnt scare me much at all.
Thats why I have 2 $20 bets with members on here

No one keeps track of the hustle plays and the boxing out for rebounds (even if its Chandler whos picking up the boards).
..besides, he has more gold medals.

Yeah the 1's did what they were supposed to. Miami's first four game sweep which is pretty pathetic considering all the series's with Zo and Hardaway.
I thought Dallas was done but they pulled through. Hopefully Chicago's series goes 7 so that Shaq's thigh can heal. We all know Nocioni's gonna kick him there. Just kidding.

They should just have the winners of the Chicago and Indiana series play each other for a concellation prize, detroit and miami are so far ahead of everybody else in the east, they should just go ahead and play the east finals right now.

I haven't been watching the Spurs lately, but if as long as Duncan stays healthy the Sonics are going to have problems on defense and inside scoring on offense.

The matchups between the Sonics and Spurs are going to be very interesting:
Parker/Udrich - Ridnour/Daniels
Ginoboli/Barry - Allen
Bowen/Robinson - Lewis/Radmanovic
Duncan/Horry - Evans/Collison
Mohammad/Nesterovic - James/Fortson
Duncan is always tough to play against both offensively and defensively. I'm sure James will eventually be on Duncan for the most part to match height but good thing we have 4 more bruisers and 30 fouls to throw at him.
It'll be interesting how the Ray Allen - Bruce Bowen matchup will go. If Bowen is able to get into Ray's head, we're in trouble. If Ray is patient and uses his screens, we'll be in good shape.
But if Bowen defends Allen, who's gonna defend Lewis? Barry? Ginoboli? Lewis will shoot over both of them.
There's definitely some mis-matches that I hope we can take advantage of. Hopefully we're in for a nice series.

Wow did anyone else catch that ending to the Bulls / Wizards game? Too many emotions.
First I was bewildered that the bulls were so sorry in the first half, then excited when they came back, ecstatic when they tied it with 4seconds left, and then distraught as arenas hit the winner. argh! Caution: Momentum shift ahead.

I am exhausted after watching the game. Maybe if the Bulls can actually play all 4 quarters......God they suck in the first quarter this series, in fact all season.

But, they really need Curry...The Bulls were just destroyed in the paint.
