Emnitrader, how can you say that... I think you need to realize that basketball is a team sport... I dont know how the absence/presence of one player can make much of a difference. I think you over estimate the Phoenix team.... Dallas is a lot more than just one guy, I think they will do really well. Furthermore, New York is more than average. They have made it to the semis each of the past 2 years. I think if any team can upset the big favorites like Dallas and DC, it will be New York. Phoenix, on the other hand, really does not have a chance. I dont think they can play 1 against a team of 5.
