I am very surprised by Orlando beating out the Heat as of now, that isn't too good. This is the standings as of now. <u><div align="center">SOUTHEAST </div> </u> Team NAme l Record l Games behind Orlando: 12-6 0.0 Miami: 13-7 0.0 Washingto:n 5-10 1.0 Charlotte: 4-12 7.0 Atlanta: 3-15 9.0
Well, we have played 2 more games than them. Either way they are competing with us this season. I think they are working more as a team and executing than Miami is. Is that good for Miami or bad? I see it as they are hitting walls while we have a lot more room to improve.

Orlando is on a road trip so I expect us to reclaim our spot as kings of the south east. THe thing is I expected us to easily have this division with no competition at all.

I knew Orlando were gonna be good but not that good. Washington caught me by suprise but after the way they played the Heat I knew that they could be in contention for a playoff seed. ATL and CHA are doing as expected. I still think we hold an advantage over a lot of teams. We have two players that are very hard to defend. Shaq is the hardest player to defend in the NBA and Wade is a top 10 player as far as guarding goes.
Well were at #1 seed thanks to the Lakers. Tomarrow we face Washington so that becomes a must win situation if we want to stay #1 and keep the Wizards from taking the #1 spot. The Southeast is the toughest division to compete in the East.
and we're playing the Suns and the Spurs in the next two games.... but i have confidence this year this division belongs to us let's see
Compare the teams Orlando's played to the teams Miami's played ;-) Better yet, Miami's 12-2 against the East (lost by 2 pts in each game and played horribly) and 3-0 in the Southeast Orlando's 6-4 in the East and 1-2 in the Southeast Plus with our new efficient lineup were 4-0 (good move SVG )
