last I checked, Spurs were the only team ahead of the Celtics... and it was only by one win.

The Celtics in my opinion are the best team in the NBA so far. They may lose a couple games with Rondo being out, but when he comes back they will be a force to be reckoned with.

So anybody see Orlando basically trade half there team away? They traded Rashard Lewis to the Wizards for Gilbert Arenas and then the traded Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, and Mickael Pietrus to the Suns for Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark. Interesting that they got Arenas. Is he going to play SG since Nelson is the PG or vice versa I think the moves make Orlando a better team, but not on the Celtics/Heat level.

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree that The Celtics are the best team in the NBA

i see the Orlando starting lineup like this:

PG: J. Nelson
SG: G. Arenas
C: D. Howard
SF: J. Richardson
PF: H. Turkoglo/B. Bass

a small but talented line up. i predict they won't go too far in the playoffs but i'll be cheering for this team since they have j-rich/arenas combination. plus i've always like D. Howard as a player.

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree that The Celtics are the best team in the NBA

with no injuries, they ARE my friend.
