Gotta think that the Chinese guy will surprise people, not only is he tall he can hit a shot from the outside. he doesn't have to be in the paint to get his points. Can't say that about most big men in the NBA. He will have to add some muscle to compete, but I would expect him to do that with no problem. He will probably be a disappointment his first year making the adjustment, etc, But after that..watch out.

So do you guys think the Nets were a fluke this year or will Martin, Kidd, and the rest of the crew be able to make it back to the finals again?

Ming does have a good shooting touch and range but when teams no longer have to sign a 7 foot 250 lbs player to guard Shaq I think we will see players who are power forwards now like Tim Duncan, Jermane O'Neil and Kwame Brown moving to center increasing the athleticism and shooting range at the position.

I think his struggle will be with the intensity of the NBA game. I don't see how they could have passed him up but Ming probably won't be one of the top 10 players in the draft and I don't think he'll be one of the top 5 centers 5 years from now.

I don't think the nets were a fluke but they are no sure thing to be in the finals again. The East has so much parity it's ridiculous. It's practically a lottery when it comes to who'll be the eastern conference champion. I think The Heat, Magic and Knicks will challenge next year and the Celtics will be in the run again...but the Hornets, Wizards, Bucks, 6ers, Pacers, and even the Bulls will be in the run too....the only teams in the East who DEFINETLY won't do anything are the Hawks and Cavs...other than that it could be pretty wide open...

P.S-With Caron Butler Riley has the Wing he's coveted for years. I think the Heat will be the team to take the East.

Oh and go Expos! Literally...I want to go out of Montreal and come to VA!!!

 

[knightstalker]

Go Tigers ..Lol got caught up in the moment and had to sneak that one in ..I just wish they would go anywhere and then the wings would have a payroll to buy the next ten cups...Still no goalie in detroit but with belfour being traded to the Predators it is likely he will end up here because the Preds want nothing to do with him ...Dushane is testing the free agant market but somehow I think he will come crawling back to detroit...Chelli still has not signed yet so a defensemen might be order for next season ..God I hope he stays though i think he is great ands would love to see him end his carrer here..Well sports fans take care and have a great day ..

Ewwwwwww I watched that game (the last 3 innings) on ESPN and it was already 6-0--Mo Vaughn was the only Met hitting Pettitte. He did pitch a great game--3 hit shutout-- but the Mets sure helped him by chasing bad pitches and not being patient!

A real pain in the ass. I grew up in NY, moved to SF for 4 years, then down near San Jose, Ca. Always able to see baseball. Portland was strange, no baseball.
