The Atlantic

NBA.com's John Schuhmann takes a look at one of the most competitive divisions in the Association. Unfortunately competitive is not synonymous with awesome. If the Miami Heat played in the Atlantic Division we would not see Shaq until March.

One point stuck out for me: "The Fascinating: The two highest individual scoring games in the Celtics' 61-year history came within nine days of each other. On March 3, 1985, Kevin McHale set the franchise record with 56 points against Detroit. Nine days later, Larry Bird broke it with 60 against the Hawks (in New Orleans)."

- I'm under the impression that Bird did that on purpose.

- Speaking of the Atlantic. I'm not satisfied with the line for tonight's Philadelphia/Dallas game. I can see the Mavs pulling away by 20 at least.
