Well, they pick the Knicks last and note that maybe the "three headed
superstar" in Boston might not be the second comming of Bird-McHale-
Parish.

The Celtics have put together a great team for the 00-01 NBA
season . . . too bad it's 2007. I think the Knicks will be, well, the
Knicks. The Nets could be in it if they get off to a decent start.
Otherwise I think they may start selling off the pieces if the season
doesn't look promising. The Raptors, I think, will likely repeat last
year's performance. And then there are the Sixers. I like the
direction they appear to be taking. Of course, they need to stick to
a single plan for more than eight months to restore my trust in the
organization. But the reality is, I fear, that a good season for the
boys in blue will leave them somewhere around the .500 mark. Which
probably isn't good enough to make the playoffs, even in the East.
But come one or more injuries or disappointing performances, and
they'll be doing well to win in the mid-30s.
