Difference is motivation. Curry, Crawford, Marbury, Randolph, there's no motivation, they go their payday, get the minimum done and go home. We've got unproven hungry young cats here, Lopez, Anderson, Yi, Harris, they will go that extra inch. Theres the desire to prove that they belong at the next level.
A couple of my buddies are Knicks fans, so they're really excited this season. "We could be a championship team!" Like, are you on crack? D'Antoni isn't that good. And frankly, neither are the players.
HAHAHAHA they beat the Heat and know they think they could win a championship. I also wanted to know why isn't Dantoni playing Marbury??
How come you guys worry about the Knicks so much? It has been quite obvious to Bulls fans awhile ago that the Knicks suck.
That's what I've been saying the whole time...the 8th Seed is a realistic shot for the Nets, shoot, the Nets might even end up with the 7th Seed...just look at the Eastern Conference, the only Seeds pretty much carved deeply in stone are the top 3 Seeds (Boston, Detroit, Orlando). Seeds 4 to 8 can pretty much be any team....Miami might even shock the league and claim 6th. Anything goes in the East, and New Jersey is a very young and promising team.
I'm with Kenny on this one as well. Your guys frontcourt is more well balanced. You got the scorer in Vince. The passer and slasher in Devin. A shooter in Yi. A big man in Lopez. I mean, a year of growth would be good for them. However, which would be better...the 8th seed? Or a shot at the lottery? Just asking you guys.
Orlando might be 3rd, but to be honest i don't believe their very good, they didnt really impress me last year and they don't this year either.
My problem with Orlando is that.. 1) No bench. 2) If Rashard and Hedo aren't on when it comes to shooting, then just play zone and fuck them over. Cause noone else on that team can shoot the ball. 3) Dwight Howard still, to me, hasn't developed any good post moves or anything. No consistent hook or steps. He scores alot on dunks and alley-oops, which is still legit and all, but if shut down, he is literally only effective on the defensive end. 4) Behind Dwight, who else plays the big man position?!
