One thing you have to give Dwight credit for being very smart, is that he avidly believes and credits his Acupuncture (with Electric Stimulation) treatment for his recovery from injuries. I know the players aren’t supposed to talk about it, but he has tweeted photos during the past year. I don’t think Kareem meant to say that Dwight wasn’t Dominant – Just not as good as he could be. His poor FT shooting in games, but not in practice, is a good example.
Regarding Derek Rose, I agree that he isn’t enough to get the Bull’s past the Heat, Nets and Pacers, but there are now 4 Elite teams in the East.
Glad you mentioned the Pistons. I think analysts are factoring in terrible chemistry. They may be surprised if Detroit challenges NY for 5th in East.
Regarding Lawrence Frank coaching the 1st two games for Brooklyn, I think it will be an advantage. Lets face it, JKidd is there for important motivation and direction, but LFrank is the real coach of the team. Without Kidd, LFrank won’t have to pretend to defer to Kidd (they really like each other) which could hurt the Nets team. Instead Frank will take charge in those 1st two games. A win vs. Heat will establish Frank as the Best Asst. Coach in the NBA.
