I like the idea of Gilbert Arenas. I mean he is the obvious leader of the wizards and is a great scorer who scored the quietest 29 ppg ive ever seen. Not suprised though since all the scoring glory was going to Kobe.

The Heat are the worst Finals opponent i've seen and they will lose the series in 6 or less games. They were beaten by a good amount two times in a row and needed a perfect game from Wade to steal one at home by 2. And the East had 1 or 2 teams in the playoffs with losing records(so KG would take any team to the playoffs). Nobody in the East would make it past the 2nd round, maybe not even the first in the West. The conference is pathetic this year. They were a little better last year.I'd like to add though that the Pistons were a great team and I though they had a chance to win it all but after Rasheed's wrong prediction and his crappy play after that and Saunder's terrible playoff coaching they weren't a tough team to beat. Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix would have been tougher opponents.

Dwight Howard or Chris Paul would be a big stretch but i love these two guys. If either one of their teams does good, they will get alot of recognition if they do what me and alot of other people expect them to do. Orlando went on a tear at the end of last season which shows that they are actually pretty good. If Orlando could get a seed in the playoffs that is not number 7 or 8, Dwight would get ALOT of recognition for this. The same goes for Chris Paul. I know i might get critisized for this but yall said a longshot

Although now it's not too much of a long shot.</div>I disagree, he hasn't improved drastically since he came into the league, this years season might have been his best but I think thats because of Sam Cassel. He is a free agent this off-season and no one is sure if he will stay a Clipper, Brand only got recognition this season because his team was winning, if they aren't winning hes just another KG.The key word is longshot here, so technically I guess your not wrong.
