Efficiency Ratings - Fast starters

[Solid D]

* Garnett way ahead and averaging over 16 reb/gm
* Boozer off to a stunning start with high honors...(although he left Cleveland in dishonor).
* Dwyane Wade - people scoffed at me this summer when he made my Projected Top 10 PGs list for 2005. He's the straw that stirs Miami's drink in the early-going.

I still think the Spurs should have made a bigger push for Boozer. You get him in San Antonio and you win the championship for the next six years.

[ShoogarBear]

Did the Spurs (or any team besides Utah) make any attempt at Boozer?

[timvp]

Not sure. I heard he's in good graces with Satan though.

[slayermin]

Manu should easily make the All-Star team if he can keep playing the way he started the season.
