Re: Simmons must be high

I think you have to separate Detroit's high ranking from 
the issue of whether Detroit is better than Boston head-
to-head.

Personally I do think Detroit is a division champ and 
thus the second seed. They can play the most stifling 
defense in either conference. They have a great coach, 
arguably the league's best role-playing bench with a 
couple of 6th man of the year candidates, reportedly they 
have outstanding team chemistry.  

Come playoff time, I think the lack of a one-on-one 
scorer will be their downfall in the last four minutes of 
a game. 

But they still do have a lot of scorers, even more than 
NJ but, of course, minus Jason Kidd.

Boston may have demonstrated to us that they are the 
better team head-to-head, but FWIW I think Detroit's 
going to win a lot of regular season games with their 
stifling defense, rebounding, overwhelming superiority in 
bench scoring etc. They can do what NJ did to us last 
year.
