Honestly, that team has to be as loaded as it is, cause that's the only way it has a chance. As great as those three have been, they have glaring weaknesses. I don't think this team gets out of round 1 if they just had any 2 of the top 3 and weren't as deep as they were. You saw what the hawks and cavaliers could do, they had guys that would always take over in crunch time (Johnson and then Lebron), most of the celtics end up disappearing.

It also helps that Lamar Odom is Casper the ****in' Cowardly Ghost and Vlad Radmanovich/Sasha V have to guard someone.

But those guys might have a shot to be good! You have to understand the Knicks. If they draft the Italian guy, he'll get dunked on by Lebron and will never come to the US. Whatever they do will bust.

D'antoni is a solid coach. He's not mentally unstable like, well, half the players and former coach were.

[ljshorty89]

Yeah, but they still have guys that they can't get rid of like Starbury(he lasts as long as his 15 dollar shoes), Jerome James(Making about 3 million per point per year), and Zach Randolph(who *****es about the fans booing, and doesn't actually care about winning). We're in for a long road to (eventually) decent-ness

Don't forget Eddy Curry's manboobies dribbling up the court more than the ball, Nate Rob's potential to go postal on a 75 year old lady, and Jared Jeffries. Serioues. Jared Jeffries.

Jefferies making 30 million. Along with mediocre role players Malik Rose and Fred Jones, Undrafted(for a reason) FA Randolph Morris, and high priced non-leaders in Jamal Crawford and Q-Rich

You do have Lee and Balkman to lean on, and cry on, at night.

Lakers lead at the half 55-52. Celtics with another comeback from being down 19.

Bring it back to Beantown for game 6.

103-98 Lakers win game 5.

[Kingdom_of_Zito]

22 billion dollars will be made since it goes to game six.

[Bon Bon]

Yep, and I wish I would have had a bet that the Celtics were to win it in game 6. That is what I predicted before the series started.

You heard Kobe, it's not over yet
