let's talk about other teams naman pa-minsan minsan.
while the lakers, cavaliers, and celtics are at the top of the heap, the next tier below them, and not too far away, are the blazers and magic.
magic are doing well, and dwight is becoming more consistent. blazers, however, have more upside as their players are younger and have not yet peaked. brandon roy may not be as dominant as lebron or kobe, but in terms of pure technical basketball skills he may have the best overall package. he's also turning out to be clutch.
interesting game between the two yesterday. portland got hit back with a game-winner 3 by hedo after blake did that same thing against the raptors.
hornets might be up there too but have had early problems. and watch out for the spurs, who some writers have called the "cockroaches of the nba" because they just won't die. td is playing as well as he ever has.
