Matthew already corrected you on-topic, but I'm still a little concerned with your responses. You seem to have a habit of adding a personal attack when you disagree with someone or make a point - please refrain from doing so in the future. Thanks.

Benji cannot defend Jermaine O'Neal, that's part of the reason for acquring Rasheed Wallace. Last year Cliff Robinson frustrated O'Neal into bad games, this year Brown was using Benji on him. Now the hope is that Rasheed will be able to provide the man defense and Benji the help defense.

Rasheed and Mike James also add a new dynamic because earlier in the year Carlisle knew almost everything about this team. The Pacers knew exactly how to shut everyone down. Mehmo and Elden were the only ones to create any problems for Indiana and Carlisle eventually solved Mehmo with Jeff Foster.

Right now the East is Indianas to lose. I don't like New Jersey. I know the Pistons will screw it up SOMEHOW. I don't think anyone else can run the table. Milwaukee is a darkhorse because of their depth but they I doubt they have the defense to contain Detroit and Indiana.

1. x-Indiana --
2. * New Jersey 8.5
3. Detroit 8.0
4. New Orleans 14.5
5. Milwaukee 15.0

If this is the Top 5...there are some teams trying to get to the playoffs...and even though it maybe argued that they arent as great as the Western Conference teams...maybe this will shape into a very interesting run towards the Play-offs...Now, these teams have a chance:

6. Cleveland 20.0
7. Boston 20.5
8. New York 20.5
9. Miami 20.5
10. Philadelphia 21.5
11. Toronto 22.0

Look what a couple of weeks can do Toronto and philly and basically done and cleveland looks like it is on its big breakdown now.
Now Miami is 5th now only a game behind the hornets. Really strange things going on now. I think it will be

1. Indiana
2. New Jersey
3. Detriot
4. Miami
5. New Orleans
6. Milwaukee
7. New York
8. Boston

New Orleans injuries are really hurting them and Miami will take advantage of this...bucks just keep falling and will probably finish just barely in front of the knicks.

[fgrep15]

4. Milwaukee 18
5. Miami 18
6. New Orleans 18
7. New York 20
8. Boston 21


*Bucks hold tiebreaker on Miami

*Winner of Bucks-Hornets game on 4/10 will win tiebreaker between Bucks-Hornets

*Bucks own tiebreaker over Knicks due to Conference record
* Bucks own tiebreaker over Boston

[Amphatoast]

bucks and miami is in now, but the hornets seem to be on a big free fall.
Still though it looks like they will make it along with the knicks and celtics. Cavs keep losing and Raptors & 76ers are too inconsistant now.

i like what im seeing cleveland going home coz of some hype that was just hype. someone said that cleveland was made for playoff and will upset the indiana, well look now they dont made for playoff not even on regular season har har har

[magius]

no one likes a know-it-all

1 spot remaining as the Knicks finally clinch a playoff position with the Cav losing and Knicks beatin the bulls
