Here comes 04-05 season. Concerns for respective teams: LA Lakers: Kobe scored 38 points and the team still lost by more than 20 points in their second game of the season. Umm something tells me that this team will end up being like Orlando Magic of 2004.Ok, its too early to predict but I don't see how Lakers are going to be competetive in a such a tough conference. I hope this won't be the season where Kobe breaks 35 pt avg barrier and still fail to win more than 40 games. Verdict: Not enought STRONG players, if you look at the roster after kobe there isn't much.You can talk about Odom but he has had only one good season in his career. Kings: No longer the same time after a loss of Divac( good role player) and continious feud of Webber with is teammates.Kings should have traded Webber last year when they were doing so well without him.I mean you can get two quality players for Webber and free up some money as well. Los Angeles..want some Webber??? Rockets: Yao Ming isn't as dominant as we want him to be. He is 7'6( he grew an inch in summer) and still gets dunked over by players 10 inches shorter than him.:( Its not that he is super weak like Bradley..I just dont think he is agreesive..He needs watch Shaq and try to play like him..I mean Yao has great skills for a big man but he cant just ride on that..He needs to be dominant.As far as McGrady is concerned..I thought he would be great combo with Yao..but we will have to wait and see.. Knicks: Oh my!! Where are they goin??? Drop your roster and have some Lincoln high ballers play ball for you. There are some interesting players on the team but they arent winning anything...free up some money and dont pounce on every meat thats ont hte market( hate what Isiah is doing).. Nets: Need I sa y more...Next Highlight reel...RJ is gonna be dunking on alley hoop pass from Zoran Plannic..Kidd is gone..maybe to LA. Boston: They look much better than last year.Ainge disintegrated the team for nothing..but they should make the playoffs. Feel good story so far: Grant Hills good performance in the first game of the season...I hope he makes it through..cuz Leage need quality players like him. Rookies to watch: Dwight and emeka both played well...good job.
