I think the problem is they have 2 and a half late game guys. The plays are made for Pierce, but Ray Allen and KG are expected to be late game heroes. Still, I get what you're saying about the C's. The Sixers and Hawks have a lot to be excited about, assuming Louis Williams and AC Law are able to grow into real PGs in the next couple of years.

As of now, Tyson Chandler looks like he can handle Duncan, but we'll see how that holds up if Timmah gets more shots in San Antonio. Bowen on Paul? Failure. When it comes down it, it's really beginning to look like the Hornets are simply the more talented team between the two. Does that mean they'll win the series and dethrone the champs? Maybe, maybe not. But they certainly look the part. (I also posted this response at IF) Chris,
