In addition to Bryant and Gasol, I like the fact that there is quality depth at the point guard position in Fischer and Farmar. Fischer in particular is really playing great this year. A bit of an upgrade over Smush. And yeah, I don't see Shaq doing much in PHX...how is this guy at his age and weight going to run up and down the floor all night, every night, then play playoff basketball in May? Maybe he's been training super hard this year, saving himself, but the numbers don't lie I just can't see it.
Boston's come off the boil lately without KG. They're really fun to watch and a great team when he's playing. I like the analogy of a young, hungry Laker team facing an older Pistons team in the Finals, roles which were reversed in 04 for Detroit. Well done, Halx!
