In theory is Ray Allen likely to find it harder in the East? Are guards better in the East seeing as the big men are worse? In the west there's Kobe, TMac, Melo, Iverson, J Rich, Roy, Martin, Ginobli, J Howard. In the East there's Lebron, PP, D Wade, R Hamilton, now J Rich, Mike Miller, J Johnson, Michael Redd, Arenas. I guess it's close. Maybe the west has a slight edge especially if better points (Paul, Nash, Parker, Bibby, Derron) are passing to them.

Well, considering Paul has scored at least 21.6 a game, for the last 7 years, and Ray has scored at least 21.7 a game, for the last 8 years, and have career scoring averages of 23.6 and 21.4 respectfully. I would say without injury that it is a safe bet they will do it (score 20+) again this year. I really hope KG pulls down 12+ boards again this year, WOW i love saying a celtic will most likely grab 12+ boards. I do not remember the last time we could say that, does anyone know? Yea, just off the top of your head, does anyone know who was the last Celtics player to average close to that?

Those Celtics teams of the 80's were an incredible rebounding team. The front three had no athleticism, whatsover, but they all could box out and rebound. Parrish could hardly get off the ground, and he wasn't a brute, yet he knew how to rebound. Bird averaged 10 rpg for his career, and he was a SF.
That's one of the keys to winning--we have to rebound.

Mike Miller is in the West, but I definitely add Gordon Crawford Carter, RJ, AI jr, Butler, and depending if u see them more as F's than G/F's Deng Wallace Granger and even Rashard Lewis.

Have to disagree with you Derrenmatts about the chief not being Athletic.If you remember Parish was heavily into martial arts.He was known to train hours a day.Also he was one of the best big men for running the floor.As well as playing into his 40's.To play at that kind of pace and for that long.He would definately need to be in tip top condition and athletic.

I guess its a matter of the definition 'athletic'. Certainly, you need some level of dexterity and agility to do martial arts. But to me, an athletic Center was someone like Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson; even Shaq. They moved around the floor like guys much shorter than them.
