Based on the season so far, here is how the season looks:
Rookie of the Year: Brandon Jennings. No shit.
MVP: Lebron James. Overrated
Playoff Projected Seeds:
West:
1. LA
2. Denver
3. Phoenix
4. Dallas
5. Utah
6. San Antonio
7. Portland
8. OKC
First Round:
LA vs. OKC -LA in 5 (OKC is too young)
Denver vs. Portland-Denver in 6 (Home-court, best player on the floor is Anthony)
Phoenix vs. San Antonio-SA in 6 (They ALWAYS beat the Suns.)
Dallas vs. Utah-Dallas in 7 (tough, but with home-court Dallas should win)
Second Round:
LA vs. Dallas-LA in 6 (kobe is just TOO good)
Denver vs. San Antonio-SA in 7 (experience with Duncan, Parker, and Manu)
WEST FINALS:
LA vs. SAS-LA in 6 (Once again, Kobe along with Gasol, Odom, and Artest is too good)
WEST CHAMPS-LAKERS
EAST:
1. Boston
2. Cleveland
3. Orlando
4. Atlanta
5. Miami
6. No one gives two hoots
7. Same as 6
8....
FIRST ROUND
Atlanta vs. Miami-Atlanta in 7 (Wade mite be the best player, but he has NO help)
the rest u all know...
SEMIS
Boston vs. Atlanta-Boston in 6 (Celtics are too experienced, have Pierce and KG)
Orlando vs. Cleveland-Cleveland in 7 (Shaq changes the nature of this series, puts a body on Dwight, THIS is the reason they got him)
EAST FINALS
Boston vs. Cleveland-Oh boy! Shaq and Lebron vs. Kobe!
Not going to happen-Boston is too good to be stopped by Lebron
FINALS
CELTICS-LAKERS: CELTICS in 7
LA mite have Kobe, but the Celtics play the best defense in b-ball against him.
Pierce, KG, Allen, and Rondo is too much for Kobe, Gasol, Artest, and Bynum
Along with Sheed and Perkins' Defense, the Celtics will beat the Lakers yet again...

Tim Lincecum
Is Lincecum worth 23 million?
This author says yes. And for simple reasons-he has two Cy Youngs in about 2.5 years of pitching.
Overall, he has a 2.90 ERA, and has led the NL in SO's for two consecutive seasons. If the Giants are smart, which i'm not saying they are, they will pay him 23 million.
However, the only worry SF might have is that if they do sign him to a 23 million year deal, he will start pitching poorly, like when they signed the infamous Barry Zito. I doubt this will happen, because Lincecum is too good.

Pierce vs. Kobe
Well-this one is probably Pierce's strongest point, because of what Pierce did to Kobe in the 2008 Finals.
Kobe is a great player, one of the world's best.
This article is going to prove why Pierce is right up there with him, and even better than him.
1. Kobe: 4 championships
Pierce: 1 championship
Ok, not a strong point? I think not
Kobe won 3 of those championships with a better player, or almost certainly as good, on his team. The 7 foot 300 pound monster in Shaq enabled Kobe to win three championships. Therefore, these championships are negated. Kobe won his fourth "alone." But did he really win it "alone." Did he do all the work that he was credited for? Let's have a look:
1. Pau Gasol-without this guy, the Lakers are not close to winning anything-and gbo, don't give me crap about how his brother is better than him, BCUZ HE'S NOT!!
2. Andrew Bynum- this guy was able to defend Howard in the Finals, and give the Lakers the strength needed inside, something they desperately needed in 2008
3. Trevor Ariza- two game saving steals in the western conference finals, without him, kobe would not have gotten to the finals
4. derek fisher- game 4 of the finals, bailed kobe out-without him, a whole new series
5. lamar odom-best all around player besides kobe, and toughest person to guard besides kobe
As you can see, Kobe had TONS of help.
Pierce:
1. KG-ok, he was a beast in the 2008 finals, pierce needed his defense to win
2. Ray Allen-didn't do squat
3. Rondo-i have no clue wat he did
4. Leon Powe-GAME 2-thats it tho
This was the finals that Pierce and Kobe battled. Kobe had Odom and Gasol, Pierce had KG and Allen. Pierce scored the same number of points, while taking half as many shots. Pierce slowed down the Mamba, and was unstoppable.
Overall: By himself, kobe could not lead his team out of the first round (8th seed twice)
pierce by himself-3rd seed in the playoffs, lost in first round, and took his team to eastern conference finals
Pierce is a better free throw shooter, better three point shooter, and can close games ALMOST as well as kobe. Kobe still has the best mid-range shot, and is CLEARLY the best closer in basketball.
However, head to head, they are almost equal, with pierce having a slight advantage...
Thx
