We'll see if any East teams make a jump this season. Cleveland isn't going to get better standing pat while almost every other team has made moves.

IF you had a good offensive coach, a good point guard, and a legit #2 scoring option you'd be a great team, but you don't have any of those things.I'm not saying the Celtics are going to the finals because God only knows how many problems this team still has, but we're going to be MUCH better...as is New Jersey with a healthy Kristic, New York with Randolph, and Washington with a healthy team. Who knows, maybe Detroit won't implode the next time around. Maybe a healthy D-Wade can carry Miami to another finals run. There are way too many factors to say that nobody can stop the Cavs, because frankly, Cleveland wasn't even that good last year.

His shooting has improved quite a bit, but he's not what Lebron needs in a wingman. You weren't that good last season. If you were good enough to even threaten the Spurs then you would've won the conference easily during the regular season. You didn't. The Pistons imploded because Rasheed and Flip Saunders are both idiots. As I've already said, worst team to ever make the NBA Finals. What're the odds everyone stays healthy? Not good for the whole season. But the odds are pretty good those guys are good to go when playoff time comes. What happened to Washington was tragic. What happened to D-Wade was freak thing, and Kristic was out with a season long injury. What're the chances all those things happen again? Very unlikely.

Detroit fell apart. Saunders made 0 adjustments while Lebron was going off, and even after that he still didn't change anything. Then Rasheed went nuts to top it all off. Detroit beat themselves. They gave that series away with idiotic decisions. Lebron was unstoppable? San Antonio sure seemed to slow him down quite a bit. 14, 25, 25, and 24 in 4 straight losses isn't what I'd call unstoppable. If you expect the worst finals team ever to stand pat while their competition improves but still blow everyone in the East away then you're going to be awfully disappointed.
Cavs are still a top team in the East, but I think the Celtics win the season series, our lineup is too well balanced, even if we still have holes at pointguard and center.

They clearly got lucky. James didn't even get any calls the 1st game, and the 2nd game he was fouled on the final play. We honestly should've swept Detroit. But we won the series, people can make all the excuses they want for Detroit, it doesn't matter, they lost.No, I said he was unstoppable against Detroit. And the fact is, the WHOLE team just struggled in the whole series against the Spurs. I will credit their team for beating us, but if we didn't struggle, I can see a series, at least.We are making no moves, which I'm upset about. Danny Ferry needs to be replaced, I've been saying that ever since he re-signed Z for 11 Million, and gave Larry Hughes 70 million.</span>

We may have contributors at each position, but if we don't fill at least one of those two holes by the end of training camp I will be disappointed. Also, Trifecta, I think I have seen you post somewhere else. CelticsBlog? RealGM maybe? I recognize the name.
