Wow Sheed is definitely the "X" factor.....If he can play at a high level all season this will be a great season.....It was also refreshing to see Allen knocking down open shots early in the season because if he is hitting from the outside early on it is going to be a long season for opposing defenses....

It's definitely coming down to those two.

As for the West, don't see anybody else contending for that besides the Lakers. I don't think the Nuggets are going to do it either (although I actually like Chauncy Billups now that he's with them).

there is only one shaq that can show up anymore, the slow overweight one that can't shoot free throughs and kills his team in transition basketball

Yep. Judging by last night, it looks as if that's the Shaq that Cleveland got. They'll improve, of course, but I'm saying that an injury-free Celtics team is the class of the Eastern conference.

Agreed 100%.

As long as the Celtics stay healthy we will be in the Finals vs the Lakers.

Last night the Celtics started off slow but we found our groove and pretty much controlled the game from the 2nd quarter out.

Shaq thought he would be ready for the game ... he had practiced all the plays on his Nintendo.

Greg Dickerson needs to lay off the McDonalds and Burger King.

Well okay then ... don't get bored guys.

Little Wallace (Gerald) did not look to bad. 10 pts and 12 rebounds for the kid.

Yeah they definitely destroyed a team that they should but how about cleveland losing to Toronto? It wasn't the fact that they lost but how bad they looked doing it.....They need to get things figured out with shaq in the lineup because they actually played better when he was on the bench......
