Homer alert!

[Peter Delevett]

Just picked up the 2006 Street & Smith's NBA preview.
The Atlantic Division preview picks the Cs to finish
4th - and the Raptors to finish 2nd! Here's the
shicking part: the preview was written by a Toronto
Star reporter. 

Um, let's see: you swap Mike James and Charlie
Villanueva for TJ Ford and Andrea Bargnani, and
suddenly you're no longer a 27-win team? 

The guy also picked an all-division team, and Pierce
was left off in favor of Iverson and Carter, both of
whom were statistically inferior to Paul in most
categories. Argh ...

One interesting tidbit the writeup did note: Pierce is
the ONLY first-round pick from 1998 still playing for
the franchise that drafted him. That's a little unreal.
