I would agree that the winner will most likely come out of the west. If the west send the Kings or the Lakers, I don't see anyone hanging with them. There are enough good teams out there so if they bea up on each other all year it may allow the home court advantage for the east this year. If it is Dallas or San Antonio, then the east has may have a chance.

I'm not sure the Nets have the depth to do it, or if Mutombo is the answer. He didn't handle Shaq all that well for the Sixers when they got there a few years ago.

Wow, plawrence - the Nets are ahead of the trilogy. That is a true fan. Are you happy that the Sixers took the "next larry Bird" off your hands, or are you a Van Horn fan?
