Yeah, Manu is older then 25, I think he is around 28 or 29.

New Jersey is actually looking like a team that can actually dethrone detroit from the east throne . sorry eddie, but miami isn't going anywhere with their lineup . that trade to memphis for james posey and j dub white chocolate really took a big hit to their team, because they lost eddie jones , who was a defensive specialist on their team. posey was supposed to take over what eddie jones was doing, but nope he hasn't been getting the job done .

i can't judge sacramento right now . they are going to be the 8th seed for sure, but they look more like a 5th or 6th seed . i rather want the spurs (1st) play the lakers in the 1st round, rather than the kings . if the suns - kings duke it out in the first round, it could get interesting . they split the series 2-2 , although phoenix has won both times with the kings having artest . but i think this game will fare as the biggest probability of an upset . 7 over 2.

on the eastern side, i expect detroit, miami, jersey, and cleveland to win their games, by the way the brackets are dealt out right now . i want to say indiana has a strong chance for an upset over a top 4 seed, but they have really been inconsistent . they are currently paired with jersey, where i don't think they have a chance . however, if jersey stays hot, and jumps miami for the 2 spot, indiana-miami does look interesting . sorry eddie .

one more note . if chicago and the bucks make the playoffs , all 5 east central teams will have a spot in the playoffs . . that's how sad the eastern division is right now, with the hawks, raptors, knicks, celtics, and 76ers are . at least the magic are trying to earn a spot

when you are that tall, and playing 82 basketball games in a season it takes a huge toll on your knees, especially for the older players. Keeping them warm keeps them loose.

lol

if only the orlando magic could have traded steve franchise sooner than later .

the orlando magic's expectations are so high for next year, even grant hill is expecting himself to return . when he talks about returning, that must mean he is hyped up about the basketball season. i haven't seen him this hyped up ever since that christian lattnear shot @ duke.

is it just me, or does phoenix look like they're in trouble in the 1st round if they play the lakers ? as much as the suns can run up and down, you can leave it to phil jackson to shut down any team's offense with any lineup he has, even with a lineup of Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Luke Walton, and Devean George.
