teamwork VS star power

I personally find the NBA Eastern conference finals a lot more interesting than the West. You have a team of basketball players that don't stand out as individual stars, no endorsement deals, no striking good looks, just plain textbook bball. And then you have a bunch of guys in which six of them at one time could carry their own teams before coming together under one roof.



Would it be the forever-underdog or the star-studded army?

The playoffs in general have been great this year ... but especially in the East. Cavs and Wiz had a great first round battle, the Cavs took the Pistons to the wire before losing ... now we'll have to see if the Pistons can make an amazing comeback or not. The only thing that takes away from the games a bit is the absolutely awful free throw shooting by the two teams' centers. I mean come on ... Ben Wallace is making something like 25% of his free throws. What a joke!

I hope the Cavs can get some more good players around LeBron next year ... they've improved a lot but as the Pistons and Heat (or even Mavs and Suns for that matter) have shown, you can't be a one man team and win these days. Everyone has to contribute.
