    I love the new Camaros, but apparently they're not the easiest to sit in. I can't imagine how a 7-1 guy would feel in one.

    Is it too soon to start a "DeJuan Blair for Rookie of the Year" movement? Has a second-rounder ever won RotY?

    The Piston are a good team when the players allow each-other room to be effective, Stuckey have to learn to take the open shot when the ball is rotated, instead of taking it to the hole and clogging up the middle, everyone in the League knows he going to put the ball on the floor and try to get a closer shot, they must learn to just take the open shot even if its out of their range or they are uncomfortable with taking it, Charlie V must also learn too step back when he set the pick up top, or roll the opposite way to creat room and give hisself the shot that he capable of making, Tay have to learn to be looking for the shot off the curl up top instead of looking to pass. They also must learn to keep the offensive spreaded which will allow good movement of the ball, as well as generate space for the handler and cutter, the guards must also learn that with the type of offensive they are running the shot 48% of the time will be to the opposite side, and in order for them to affect the out come they practice rotating the ball to the open man

    the pistons are not a good team this year. they got a lot of shooters and no pg to pass to them. and no rodney stuckey is not a pg. and he cant shoot outside of 18 feet, thats why he drives every time. all of a sudden they have no defense other than prince, stuckey and sometimes hamilton. wallace doesnt have the athleticism anymore to make up for the fact that hes a 6'6 center. but since they stole kuester away from cleveland, they pretty much guaranteed orlando or boston will win the east since theres no way mike brown can figure out how to work shaq in the offense on his own.
    and the rockets WILL make the playoffs. theyre the perfect underdog team, everybody has written them off since they lost their 2 stars, but the remaining roster is filled with unselfish guys who are underrated scorers. all the starters excpet maybe brooks are very good defenders and the bench is solid, lowry could start for a number of teams, budinger is apparently legit and carl landry is the dark horse 6th man of the year.
