Personally, I'm not surprised. We've got the best top 6 rotation in the East, maybe the NBA.

We often need to win despite our coach and his gameplan, however.

We're still elite. Flawed, but elite.

I can't believe that Washington is in 6th place. They've looked terrible from what I've seen.

Shocked, but then I remembered David Stern took "touching" out of the NBA

So length and shooting scoring rule the day.
Something the Pistons have a lot of.

in comes New Jersey and Milwaukee and out goes Boston and...ORLANDO?!

Inserted. I said we'd win 50+. East is worse than I thought right now.

I'm more surprised at how badly some of the other teams in the East have done. Miami has been pretty awful. Chicago is finally rebounding after a horrible start. Cleveland seems like the same team as last year. New Jersey is mediocre.....again. I think that Orlando and Detroit have been the only pleasant surprises in the East.

I'm surprised.

Looking forward to the games with the Bulls.

[UxKa]

Not surprised. I figured they would be sniffing 55 wins this year.

[Fool]

Hollinger is surprised.

Is there a team PER stat?
