" Hey there -- Brock please be joined by foxsports.com NBA analyst Marcus Johnson he is here to preview the central division in the NBA of course they got a -- with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But a great year last year 66 wins and new sheriff in town the big man comes down Shaq can. How much as he helped them does he help LeBron get that record that the second person they kind of what is it like they have jacket and isolated."

" I thought we could -- latest reality show. -- Try to -- and and so does about a half an hour too long you know just a little house wasn't a half hour hour and Isiah you have like thirty to back up there at number obligation to act -- sound check last year Phoenix like seventeen points 89 rebounds a game. Which is cool especially in today's NBA you -- a smart team we'll try and isolate him getting -- that middle and make him have to work a little bit more some some pick and -- basketball on defense. But I do like the move -- how it affects the Duma Ilgauskas is minutes and his production remains to be seen. But of course the Cleveland you start LeBron James in the end it. You look at the numbers is -- get the scoring but you know on the eight rebounds a game seven assists a game did a great job in terms of those steals one of the top. -- in the league but in the NBA so he's really improved his defense it. Focus and concentration for this team it's gonna be about the role players obviously you know Shaq LeBron okay great and I would MO we know what's he gonna give -- is going to be able to score more consistently than he did last just clear of playoffs. It if he does it. It's it's it's early exit time once again early in the what they hope for and then in the team picked up a couple players that I like Anthony Parker canas is the brother you know -- Good outside shooter he's one of those kind of role playing guys who can play with a superstar like LeBron and flourished you know I think that's a great pick up another guy who are really like the Toronto. A couple of seasons go Jermareo moon just tremendous athlete. Come and do everything Gerald Wallace type of a player can put up but a bunch of different stats so you put enough to get adding Mike Brown the coach has the kind of TV wants to question obviously. Shaq and LeBron. Two major major mad at Eagles how well big co exist together because this whole key into how this comes together."

" They Shaq goes there with the right attitude he's no he's not -- man anymore Healy looks for a team that could who could beat Cleveland. Of course you think in this division I think stop the Detroit Pistons but do you remember that they didn't even have a winning record last year. How and I've been gone Rasheed Wallace gone in their place to bring in Ben Gordon chop -- villain a wave. How good can appears to -- a bounce back season for Detroit."

" Well you they bring in naturally -- women of the talking about bringing him in off the -- he's had some issues with this hamstring are all during the idea exhibition season Chris Wilcox also Cubs the team Joe Dumars is trying to retool. You know what I like is -- the rookies of on a lot of a lot of."

" Buffalo broke -- let."

" A lot of toughness you know you look at all today he got a two by QB has been another -- got to bite you be suspended and -- back adapt. And I think that's a direct reflection of their coach Jack cheese and accused -- Play that at North Carolina was built Ford back in the day he's gonna Larry -- us forever he's at least North Carolina -- who likes the game played the right way. He I think we'll make a difference -- players love play at him and I don't laugh Barrett Kwame Brown the former Laker I think. Will find his niche with the basketball team with -- coach I'm not you ten point twelve points a game if you're lucky. But our defense terrific rebounding great inside presence he gives them that. This team you know take Jon Pritchett don't end Richard Hamilton and and only -- in in the mix also. I think this team has the ability to win forty X 47 games which is a major improvement from last mystery man wins by those guys -- talked about came from my teams in the same division yet Gordon -- from Chicago. Illinois -- game -- it's -- Gordon in I like that the governor is at all I think he's not -- you -- isn't office but not the kind of defense may be that they've gotten used to -- that position -- in the bowl so a lot of turnover into the Pacers this year. Any team in the division. Lee created it to -- Cleveland well I mean the Bulls and Derrick -- of rather than the reigning rookie of the year obviously you -- you gotta talk about him and didn't interest. This terrific talent but. -- I think they lost a lab they lost in Gordon led the team scoring the last four years but Luol Deng is back to that kind of makes a bid for that. They've got a terrific young rookie out of USC -- task gets in has given him up thirteen points a game in the exhibition season which is a surprise but -- unique Tyrus Thomas statistics continue to mature Joakim Noah has got to continue to mature. If they do. You know they can be a threat but but I still think that they are too young overall to make a major impact. Scott scouts I love him as a coach now a lot depends on on Andrew Bogut how he comes back if -- hit if he's healthy and that of course -- Michael Redd. How he comes back ability to shoot score the basketball if that happens for the bucks it's -- got Gaza Luc Richard Mbah a Moute at a UCLA. Great rookie season last year I think this could be a team that kind of sneaks up on people."

" In the bulls' great run of the playoff LSU we always mention the UCLA guys who identified her desserts. That is the old MJ Marcus Johnson -- in LA -- of his own right. Morry I sound basketball check out video on foxsports.com. For Marcus Johnson I'm Daryl Brock will you next time."
