You would think that in the Eastern conference a team with Garnett, Allen and Pierce should be as good as anybody. Its not like its just Garnett. I have no idea who they have around them, I don't really follow basketball much until the playoffs and since Boston hasn't gotten there lately its not like I catch many of their games.

Who else is there, Cleveland, Chicago, Miami, Detroit. They should be as good as any of them.

As for Dante, I don't think he's anything great. I guess he'll start for a year. Actually, I live in the south and watched Russell play all the time and I'm not totally sure about him. He's very talented but still, something about him I'm just not sure about. Lot higher on Vince Young, couldn't believe he wasn't the number 1 pick last year. Everybody was talking about Reggie Bush but I would have taken Vince Young, that dude's one of the most poised college quarterbacks I've ever seen. By far the best player on the field in the National Championship game versus USC.
