  • 2004-05 NBA Season Preview - by MATTHEW HATFIELD Friday, October 29Th, 2004
    2004-05 NBA Season Preview - BY MATTHEW HATFIELD Friday, October 29th, 2004 Eastern Conference: Atlantic Division: 1. New York Knicks - Probably class of a worthless division. I know that sounds harsh, but the Nets are the lone club in this division to play over .500 ball the past two years. The Knicks have to know they must win now because the future looks bleak due to some of the moves made by Isiah Thomas to acquire Stephon Marbury and others. Backcourt has gone from average to exceptional by adding Marbury last season and Jamal Crawford in the offseason. Allan Houston and Penny Hardaway back them up. Frontcourt size still appears missing in my opinion. Somewhere between 40-48 wins. 2. Philadelphia 76ers - Allen Iverson could be due for one of his best seasons ever. New Head Coach Jim O’Brien won with the Celtics and helped them return to the postseason. He brings discipline and emphasis on defense. Samuel Dalembert is the best center in the Atlantic. His rebounding, defense and sparingly scores. Don’t be stunned to see the Sixers use Iverson some at point guard.
