Yeah, I edited that because I forgot about the league rule changes...how they changed the seeding rule so that the two best records don't face each other again in the second round and the Clippers don't try and throw games like they did last season to avoid playing the Mavericks.

As long as you don't think the Nuggets will have a better record than the Spurs.

Also whoever said we havn't addresed the defensive issue. What do you think grabbing DeShawn was all about, he's a permieter defender which is something we need. We also addresed our other issue, depth. You guys need to start watching the Wizards and realizing that we have a big three but that's not all we have. Hayes could do alot better if he stays healthy. Daniels is amazing to have when Gil isn't playing. Now we have signed Songaila and Stevenson both great additions to our team. Orlando Magic have a great young talent in Howard and have Hill but winning 60 if he stays healty? That's ridiculous. Also whoever took out the supporting cast of the wizards in the comparison but left in the supporting cast of the magic needs to realize that we have a much better bench. Do you really think JJ Redick is gonna be worth a mention in his rookie year? Darko Milicic, please what a bust. If you want to talk about it the way you are it's:Caron ButlerAntawn JamisonGilbert ArenasorGrant HillDwight Howard----Oh yeah btw, listen to what Zards said, hill's gonna get injured enjoy him.
