Definitely. I've got good money on this.

Yep. And they'll die and run out of gas in the playoffs.
10

They won't. They don't have a superstar who can close out games.

i dont think so theyll fall short a game or two. Chicago's 72-10 is just as hard as Wilt's 100.

Jason Kidd & Carter dealt them their 6th loss before the All-Star break.

Towards the end of the season is when teams start playing nasty and bodies are worn out and they have to play against their conf rivals.

last 6 weeks of their schedule:
Miami
Indiana
New Jersey
Dallas
Philly
Milwaukee
Phoenix
Hornets
Miami
Orlando
Indiana
Cleveland
Toronto
New York
Milwaukee
Washington

That's a schedule with few breathers

Nice win for New Jersey. Detroit's obviously still in with a chance but if previous pace is anything to go by their chances just got a bit slimmer.

yeah, Rasheed really bricked it. Looking at the schedule, it really aint that hard. Challenging games would be Phx, Dallas, Mia & Clev....the rest don't really look like games you'd get hyped for.
