    Jeff Teague is for real. That guy isn't getting nearly enough pub.

    Yep. People forget they nearly took out Indiana last season and then added Horford this season.

    Too early to tell but Budenholzer has them playing well and that is more than i can say for the Cavs. Toronto is a well coached team also. The east is actually up for grabs if a team can get real consistent they will be a contender.

    I hope they stay healthy. They've shown they can beat anybody.

    Remember when every second rapper would quote "ATL!!!" in their songs? I wonder if the trend starts up again, since their team is steam rolling right now

    I will reserve judgement until the playoffs. Only one team in recent memory have gotten to the finals without a legit superstar and that was Pistons. It can be done, but it doesn't happen often.

    They will probably have 3 All Stars this year. Maybe 4.

    Also, Spurs don't have anyone who puts up superstar numbers and they are champs.

    Duncan and Parker have been superstars. The "mentality" is what's important, not "stats". Who are the guys you turn to when things go south? Duncan and Parker were the stars needed to take over when shit went south.
