The youngsters got substantial playing time this season to show what they can do. I'm curious as to which ones you feel are still major question marks?Quote:

I wonder if Billy Donovan regrets not staying with the Magic?
RE: playoffs: I really wanna know what the benefit was (other than financial)?
We all knew Sheed and Iverson were not coming back next season.
We already knew Kwame had stunned the entire planet by not sucking.
We already knew what Tay and Rip could and couldn't do every night.
We already knew Dice didn't deserve such a shitty season.
What we didn't know:
Did Amir learn anything from the season?
Did Maxiell find a heart?
Could AA play significant minutes, and how would he cope at SF?
Could Bynum and Stuckey play together for 20 minutes per game and not get brutalised when the other team had the ball?
I could go on, but none of it matters.
We wanted the playoffs. Joe wanted Orlando!
Maybe we should be thankful we got Cleveland and not the Magic after all.
I guess we just saw the season differently. In my eyes, all three of those players got a lot of run and solidified the case for/against them. Amir disappointed, Max plateaued, AA met/exceeeded expectations with some upside still remaining.Quote:

Doesn't look good for LA.
^Vegas disagrees
"13th year" for Kobe seems almost impossible
You were right all along.Quote:
