RE: [Celtic_Pride] sixers

["Phil Stubbs" <stubbs43@hotmail.com>]

I won't disagree that they are overated, but against what standard?  In the 
Eastern Conference that exists today, they are the best team. IF the heat 
had Zo to go along with the other walking wounded they would run away with 
it, maybe for sure in the season but for certain in the playoffs with their 
collective experience.  The Knicks too have the experience, but as with the 
Heat without Zo, they are completely weak at the Center position, not to 
discount the babysitting MO that goes with Rice and Spree. The Pacers are as 
well with the retirement of their big guy, having to rely on the kid.

The sixers have the edge because of Iverson, a great coach and what might be 
the best group of big men, with Ratliff and Geiger (who is still hurt if I 
remember right, so imagine the team with his return) in the East.

In a diluted and poor overall league, mediocrity can lead you to the promise 
land.

Thanks,
Phil
