KG and Sheed = Way Better defenders than Pau and Bynum and look what happened to Dwight in that series. The problem is still the same for Dwight he doesn't have the post moves to beat great quick footed defensive bigs.

I know sheed is a couple years older but until he proves other wise it's a wash. I strongly believe when it comes to the playoffs it's all about matchups and think had the Magic met up with Detorit again this year it would have been the same result...well that's if they still had Billups. @ Ian yeah I debated that with myself for awhile and wanted to give it to Dwight but like I said Detroit shut Dwight down each year before last with sheed guarding him for a good portion.

I still take Magic over Celtics (and I think the Hawks could surprise a bit with 50 or so wins in the East--with Horford, Josh Smith and Marvin all bound to have quite better years than last year). But in any event, I just can't wait for the upcoming NBA season! It should be great! Matt, all very good points, and all well taken.

Celtics will give any NBA team trouble with their line-up.. you have to admit that haters.. No one in their right mind that facing the men in green would be a walk in the park.. not even the possible champions, Lakers.. Diego is Spanish for dumbass!

It's the fact that Hedo made huge shots for the Magic in clutch time and was driving to the basket. Vince, while athletic and a good shooter, is no slasher and isn't particularly a clutch player. He has made buzzer beaters, but not in the big time, unlike Hedo. And Hedo going to Toronto[you're right on this] is not going to work. He should have gone to Portland. I think Vince is more talented, but I would prefer Hedo because he can play really well in crunchtime. Daniels has sucked? Wow, then you must set the bar REALLY high for NBA players. Considering he's averaged about 10 ppg for a career and had his best year last year, I wouldn't call that "suck", I'd call that decent. If that's the case, then Matt Barnes, Mickael Pietrus, and Brandon Bass all suck as well, because they've averaged about the same. How will Orlando romp over Boston when they have KG back? You guys struggled to beat the Celtics without him! And Leon Powe was hurt too! And the Celtics brought in an experienced veteran to go off the bench in Rasheed, an upgrade over Leon. The difference between KG and Vince was that KG sucked it up and played through it. He didn't even necessarily want to leave Minnesota. Vince gave up and didn't care when he was on his bad teams. And I should have made it clearer. Vince is athletic and a shooter, but is not a slasher, unlike Hedo. Diego, it’s not a matter of talent that makes me want to take Hedo over Vince.

Thats not why he wasn't brought back! They offered Marbury a contract, but Marbury turned it down, instead deciding he's finished with the NBA. He's said that NUMEROUS times! Why doesn't anyone ever acknowledge that fact? Stephon Marbury “didn’t get it done”? Thats not why he wasn’t brought back!
