    After almost 2 wks of the NBA season, I think the east will shape out something like...

    1. Boston
    2. Cleveland
    3. Orlando
    4. Detroit
    5. Toronto
    6. Philadelphia
    7. Atlanta
    8. Miami

    I was referring to the Laker teams that won a championship.

    All five franchises that have won NBA championships in the last ten years won it through great defense and solid half-court offenses.

    Are you comparing the Seattle team that scored 98 points/per game who had a veteran all-star guard with the youngest team in the history of the last who scored 95 points/per game?

    I guess we should expect more out of a team with little to no experience loaded with players 24 years and younger shouldn't we?

    I think we should compare our stats last year with the ten other youngest teams in the history of the NBA. I bet we come our very favorably.

    We have a veteran all star guard as well.

    Let's compare

    Rindour 23
    Blake 28


    Allen 29
    Roy 24


    Lewis 25
    Webster 22


    Radmonovic 24
    Aldridge 23


    Collison 24
    Oden 21


    Fortson 28
    Joel 29


    James 29
    Rudy 23


    Evans 24
    Outlaw 24


    I mean.....are we really that much younger? I don't think so.

    3 of there rotaion players were 24, and Lewis was 25

    We have more, but it's not like they were the Pistons or Spurs. They were young too.

    The leaders of our team are under the age of 24. Seattle had a true vet in Ray Allen who was a multiple-time all-star.

    Either way, I would like to see how we compare to the ten youngest teams in NBA history. I would be shocked if we were not the best of the bunch.
