i actually fear any of the teams now, because something i have learnt this season is how some really simple and little changes to your team/strategy/etc, can make a HUGE difference.
And conversely, some bad things can happen which can totally screw u. eg: look at aimee allstars this year, had his star PG out and he totally sucked without him. hard to imagine that one player could be so important, given the fact that the rest of his team is also pretty good.
so yer. tis the nature of the beast to be wild and unpredictable!
