    Season starts in a week or two.

    Early bad news for the Jazz: Trey Burke out 8-12 weeks with a broken finger.

    Golden State will have a better record than the Clippers. (Boy I hope I get to quote this in May)

    GS is gonna be really good, if they get anything out of Bogut, that starting five (Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Lee and Bogut) is scary.

    Health is the biggest issue for them. They need 75+ games out of Curry, he's lights out.

    Thomas Robinson is well on his way to being a bust.

    Fearless prediction:

    Chicago vs. Golden State in the NBA Finals.

    Unfearless prediction:

    Holy mother of god are the Sixers going to suck to high heaven.

    I love the Sixers' slogan: "Together We Build."

    Better than, "Together We Tank."

    ;D I gave up on them when they made the Bynum trade. Where is Bynum now? Cleveland? Hell, I don't know.

    A league that is victim of its own excess or success?

    Start the Season Christmas Day. Go to 60 games (or so) and have no less than 4 and no more than 6 teams from each conference make the playoffs.

    75% of teams have no shot whatsoever of making a Conference championship. And those bad teams remain almost constant over a 10 year period.
