In The Paint - Central Division

In The Paint: Central Division
The Race for 2nd Place is on

In a division that back in the day was dominated by Jordan’s Bulls, Detroits Bad Boys, and Reggie Miller’s Pacers, a new era has clearly taken over. Lebron and the Cavs are heads and shoulders the class of the Central, and aspirations to win the title are realistic for fans of the Cavs. The number one question heading into 2009 for Cleveland is does Lebron have enough help to win in the postseason?

At least for one night, Rodney Stuckey made all Pistons fans forget about Chauncey Billups not being there anymore. The Chicago Bulls tried to stop Stuckey, but there was no answer for him, as he dropped a career-high 40 points in a 104-98 victory Tuesday night. When asked about his big game, Stuckey said, “I was just taking what the defense gave me.”
