    Hot: Philly, Boston

    Not: New Jersey


    as espected new jersey is collapsing and both philly and boston are right back ion the division race (the two are separated by a half a game). it almost looks like a first place team chasing two second place teams. so whos going to win the division. Unless new jersey rights itself i see the celtics taking it. philly is hot but theyre a one man team and iversons supporting cast doesnt have what it takes to stay hot down the stretch.

    yea. you knew philly was gonna get a good streak at some point but how can they keep it up when they only have one consistant player? keith van honr is pathetic. eric snow is nothing special. i think theyll end up ahead of new jersey though who may slip to third place

    Jersey is better than a third seed. But this slump may be tough to get out of. They will be ready to go by playoff time. They atleast make it to the Eastern conference Championship game

    dont get me wrong boston has no picnic ahead of them either but its slightly easier especially at the very end and boston has done better against the good teams

    yea. hes maybe the "toughest: player in the game today though so i doubt theyre worried about his health. bostons getting scewered by san antonio again. that must aboslutley kill celtic fans whatching san antonio seeing as tim duncan would be a celtic if it wernt for the lottery, which as youve argued is fixed so that the teams who lose their stars get the number one pick.

    New Jersey really isn't doing that well lately, but they ended the hornets win streak, so maybe that'll give them a boost of confidence to continue.............

    i think even if the nets do hold on to win the east theyll be a good candidate to be upset and knocked out dew first round

    indy is better than detroit. they have just as much depth. nearly as good D, and better frontline players.

    Philly has a much better chance then the Celtics to take the Atlantic. But I think New jersey will still stay on top.
