Sorry sorry, my bad

it's all good, man. It'll just be that much sweeter when I quote you six months from now and laugh heartily when the Knicks, against all odds, crash the playoff party and give Orlando all they can handle in the first round.

let me dream

You knwo what? If that does happen, I wouldn't mind you or anyone quoting me a bit. We all love surprises in the playoffs, don't we? Then again, why must it be Orlando? I like it better if the Knicks beat the Celtics.

Celtics won't be the #1 seed, if thats any consolation. I really don't understand the way the media sucks these guys off. KG, PP, and Ray have a combined age of like 120 years. Rasheed is coming off his most uninspired season ever, and they're expecting him to suddenly turn into a player that gives a damn just because he's on the same team as KG now? They will definitely be a top 3 team in the East, but I don't see these old dogs keeping up with Orlando in the playoffs. They can beat Cleveland, though. Now that's a team that is highly overrated IMO. I just don't see how a fat, sloppy, overweight, bloated Shaq who is three years removed from his prime will be able to help the Cavs get over the hump. Moon and Parker are slight improvements at best. Nobody is going to beat Orlando. Period.

LOL @ the crummy Knicks. No, we aren't a great team, but we don't have a single star nor any kind of defensive inside presence and we still won 32 games. Take Wade off the Heat and they have NOTHING. That's a 5 win team without Wade.

Its so Beautiful!!

It's good to see another Heat fan. I really hope that Wade's lingering injury won't carry over into the regular season. Their preseason performance was pretty so-so.

That's far from the truth. They've shown just the last year that they could hang with some of the big boys when Wade was out. It's true that they're a pretty workman like group when Wade is out, but they have the ability to get the job done because they're well coached. Plus they play D, which your Knicks haven't done in almost 10 years now. I'll take my Heat without Wade over your Knicks any day.

pffft. Who's gonna score without Wade on the floor? Jermaine with his shot knees? Haslem can't create his own shot to save his life. Daquan Cook is only good when he's wide open. Beasley is a headcase. If Wade misses significant time this year, the Heat are in deep shit. They'll lose every single game without him. Don't know how anyone can deny that.

Chalmers runs the show and dishes the ball, Arroyo will be a solid backup to him both in passing and scoring, Beasley will create his own shots all day long as no one can really stop him one on one, Haslem and Magloire do all the little things including rebounding, Jones, Richardson, Wright and Quinn will hoist up those 3's and Daequan will score from any distance since he has no range limit (plus has the prettiest shot in basketball). And last but not least O'Neal can still dominate the post regardless of his knee problems. Anymore questions?
