Here's the top four seeds. 
 1. Boston Celtics:
 Still the best team in the East. They have the best defensive team,
 even with guys currently banged up. They know how to win in the most
 consistent way, which is to defend, rebound and spread it out on
 offense. Still the class of the East.
 
 2. Orlando Magic:
 To me the Magic have the deepest offensive team in th...

It can be argued that Orlando did not have one true Power Forward on their roster. Well, that has changed. Brandon Bass is a natural PF and a pretty damn good one too.

You know, with these arms I need to make sure I'm nice and limber. Lordy, this ball is heavy! I just can't seem to shoot it strong enough. I suppose I'll have to flex to make sure I shoot it the right distance. Does this look okay Coach Van Gundy? How is my form? Do my arms look alright? I mean, if you want me to, I can flex them a little more. I've seen what you've done for Dwight, so I know that's an option. Ser...
