I ll watch the playoffs tomorrow night so i can have a better impression. I think the Bobcats could be a good surprise becasue their style is pretty stable (like they dont have a lot of huge slumps during games). As for this first round i d say Clevland vs Chicago 4-2 Orlando vs Bobcats 3-4 (I really think the Bobcats can susrpize everyone there) Atlanta vs Milwaukee 4-1 Miami vs Boston 2-4 Lakers vs OKC 4-1 (I d say 4-0 but OKC did couple nice games this season so who knows) Dallas vs Spurs 4-2 Phoenix vs Portland 4-1 Denver vs Utah 4-3 (either way) | ||

He was a huge of their offense, and he doesn't suck, even though he hasn't been doing well this season after getting traded. Turk was an average player in a good Magic team that made him look much better than he was (and he wasn't that good). Now that he's at a team where he doesn't have the good players around him to make things easier for him, he's showing his true colours -- aka sucking balls. | ||

Another thing to keep in mind is that you have consider who the Magic got to replace him. Vince is not the playmaker or passer that Turk is, despite what his AST numbers in NJ may lead you to believe. While Carter has shown the ability to create offense for his teammates, it's more like how Kobe or AI do it, i.e. by being a dangerous scorer who kicks it out to teammates who are left open when they draw defenders. He can't run the pick and roll like a PG like Turk did, and he doesn't look to create for others before looking for his own shot. Further, in my opinion, Vince has never shown that he can be a leader or make clutch plays for a contender. Lastly, if you're going to take two aging players, do you really want to take the one who relies more on his athleticism or the guy who can be effective despite not jumping high or moving very fast? Turk can be effective without the ball as a spot-up shooter, Vince needs the ball to be effective and hasn't shown himself to be very effective as a spot-up shooter. In the end, I don't blame the Magic though. Turk's performance in the playoffs last season inflated his value way too much and they couldn't afford to pay the money it would have taken to keep him (although they did severely overpay Shard...). Vince's numbers over in NJ were also very attractive, and he was a legitimate Allstar and one of the most dynamic scorers in the league. However, I think the trade-off made the Magic less of a matchup nightmare, and thus more orthodox, in the same way the Lakers do whenever they turn into a pick and roll team and stop using the triangle. Personally, I think that if ORL could have kept Turk for a reasonable amount of money, they should have kept him over taking Carter. He just fits with what they need so much better. | ||

Granted, Blazers won the regular season series 2-1 (with one of them without Roy). But the Suns really started picking up more and more as the season came to the end (where the Suns beat the Blazers in the most recent matchup). | ||
