Everyones going on and on about how tough the Heat will be... Yeah they're tough, but they already were very good. I don't know if this team will be any better than that. And Walker and Williams being problem children could all just mess it up for them. If those guys are unhappy, then the team won't be as good as it was last year. They had some very good under appreciated shooters on that team last season who really were the why and how Shaq and Dwayne could get the room they had...
New Jersey has made the biggest splash during the summer though... They only got Shareef Abdur-Rahim... Don't forget they already have three all-stars on that roster and now they added a primetime inside threat to the mix... With Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter flying around and Kidd handing them the ball combined with a good inside player like Shareef is a total matchup nightmare... If they can land some decent bench players, this is the team to watch... I'm talking 60 wins and high flying offense all around... Jason Kidd is almost a lock to win the passing game...
There's always that chemistry stuff... If it works, it will be so beautiful, but if it does not work, it will all come crashing down... And one season ending injury to one key pleyer can bring it down as well. It's all up in the air and it all looks great now... I'm sure both of these teams will be going for the eastern conference win, but who knows at this point???
