NBA Review 2005-6

Refers to November 03, 2005 post:

Kinda blew the Pacers-Kings and Grizz predictions but otherwise I'm pretty good huh? I pretty much picked the ins and outs in the East and did a damn good job of finding the holes in the preseason predictions - Sonics, Rockets, Knicks, 76ers, Wolves - and id'ing the potential stories - Bucks, Nets, Cavs, Suns, Clips, Lakers...

Kind of proud of myself... I have to give Hutch some credit for 2 years of free membership to ESPN insider!

How about LeBron right now... 36-7-5... 21 years old and in a Dominique-Jordan style battle with Gil Arenas... two game winners, 7 threes in a game and a triple double, shooting 50% from the field and 43% from 3... plus the signs of future improvement (10 and 7 TOs and 6 a game)... admittedly I'm having trouble with all the nail biting, but the kid flat out delivers.

The only reason you like the Kings now is that they're full of thugs... Wells, Artest, Corliss. Can anyone say "free agency" when it comes to Bonzi playing out of his skull in these playoffs... Kind of like Jerome James right Stu? Oh, and why does Kobe deserve the MVP, because he scored 81? Is Dirk really playing with 15 wins more talent than Kobe...
