"I think for them to rile up LeBron, who's the second-best player we've got in the NBA . . . I think that's just stupid," Barkley said. "I thought [the Wizards] had a chance to win that series. I don't think that any more."

Re: Articles worth mentioning II

This isn't really an article, just an NBA team rating. What I thought was interesting is that, if I've done the math right, the Pistons have the best W-L percentage of any NBA team against the top 16 teams in this particular rating. Encouraging?

That's good news. However, we already knew that Pistons get up for the tougher opponents, especially Sheed.

True we did know that. And I assume that probably any of the top teams get up for games against other top teams.

What I guess I didn't know was that they are also more effective than other teams against those same tougher opponents.

We have a good team. As long as they play up to their abilities and get a couple of breaks I like their chances.

8-0 against Spurs, Lakers, Suns, and Hornets helps.
