Here is my take on a couple of teams...
Magic- This team lives and dies by the 3 ball. They have no one who can create their own shot late in a shot clock. They are 5th in scoring defense overal and that is how they win games. They dominate the glass because of Dwight. The real question is how long will Dwight be there? When they lose Dwight how will they score? Their defense will become really bad when Howard gets traded as they rely to much on him to man the middle and clean up the easy drives. Rebounding will become a problem.
76er's- This team has a few disturbing stats. First off their leading scorer comes off the bench. Secondly he is only averaging 15.7 ppg. On the plus side they do have 6 guys averaging double figures which is outstanding. They finished on a 5 game losing streak in which they only scored over 90 points once. The reason this team has been winning is because of thier defense. Allowing only 87.5 ppg so far this year which is 1st in the NBA. The real question is does this team have enough fire power to keep winning games? If they can make a trade for a true scorer I think it would highly benefit them for the rest of the season.

Do you think this would imply when they face the Heat?

I'm sorry I like the Celtics as well but this team isn't much better than .500 with their old legs and this compressed schedule. In the playoffs they might be dangerous but depends who and where they are seeded.

Agree with most of these points...
However, Blazers should use some felton and another player as trade bait so they can get a legit scorer and play Batum more. Crawford excels coming off the bench and is a liability on the defensive end not a starter.
Kyrie might be better than Rose was as a rookie but he will never have the athleticism that Rose has. Rose has improved so much from his rookie season. I agree Kyrie is good but he will not be better than Rose in the long run.
Appreciate the thoughts.
