    Well?</p>

    I say no because I don't trust Nelson as a leader on the perimeter just yet, plus they jumped off to a big run like this last year before falling back to reality. I don't think they're in the Celtics-Pistons class of team.</p>

    I think so. I blame last year's drop off mainly on poor coaching by Brian Hill and they've really improved in that aspect with SVG. I don't think much of Nelson as the primary distributor either, but he really doesn't have to hold the ball as much as he did last year. Rashard's really helped open out the offense a lot.</p>

    Hell yeah, they're for real. Dwight's the most dominant big man in the game, and Turk and Shard are knockin down 3's...I can't see them cooling down unless there's a (knock on wood) injury.</p>

    Detroit is very overrated, id consider the magic the 2nd best team in the east just above the chicago bulls.</p>
