Yes, I actually read this article too.  He basically said it's the Cavs, Celts, and Lakers that have legitimate shots at the title, followed up by the Spurs, Hornets, and Mavs as long shots.

It was a good read and he actually covers a lot of ground.

Once again, we remain clearly in the top 3.

Our first game against Boston was close, and that was without the gell the team has now. The team we got now can play bad and still win by 10 plus. Throwing it out there now. Cavs vs Lakers in the finals. I don't know how that would go though. Only matchup I am scared of.

And lebron had a huge shooting desparity (spelling?) in that game. His jumpers werent falling at all. It seems like forever ago that lebron was like 0-16 from 3's or something. Its very difficult to judge our team throughout the preseason, and then to be thrust into an away game, against the defending nba champions. (number 1 def) Our offense wasnt nearly as fluid as it is now. We could win against Boston now.
