As we are 24 hours before another NBA season, I was going to share my thoroughly analyzed yet, sure to fail predictions:
1. Playoff Shockers: Out of the West- Portland Trailblazers; Out of the East- Chicago Bulls
Portland was good last year, and with the addition of Greg Oden and some experience, the Trailblazers will make it as far as a 6 seed in the West. Chicago Bulls 2 years removed from a solid team disappointed many fans last year.....don't count on a repeat. While many see the Hawks as a repeat to make the playoffs, I feel the same way, but I think like 3-4 seed for the Bulls not just a squeek by team.
2. Playoff Disappointments: Out of the West- Dallas Mavericks; Out of the East- Detroit Pistons. Now by "disappointment" I'm not saying these teams do not make the playoffs, but a 7 or 8 seed would be a bad thing for these once prominent franchises.
3. The Boston Celtics will repeat as the 1 seed in Eastern Conference, but will not only fail to repeat as NBA champs, but as Eastern Conference....everyone has their rings, OK enter let down.
4. Rookie of the Year???? Greg Oden, was having trouble picking this one until read that because he did not play at all last year, he is eligible. He will have the biggest role on the best team then any of the other Top 5 contenders. Others in consideration Derrick Rose and "Prison" Mike Beasley
Greg Oden looks to bring some "versatility" to Portland this winter
with a R.O.Y trophy and playoff spot
5. Your Eastern Conf. Divisional Champions and Playoff Seeds:
Atlantic: Boston Celtics(1)
Central: Cleveland Cavaliers(2)
Southeast: Orlando Magic(4)
Other 5: Toronto Raptors (3), Chicago Bulls (5), Philadelphia 76ers (6), Detroit (SUCKS!!!) Pistons (7), Atlanta Hawks (8)
6. Western Conference Divisional Champions and Playoff Seeds:
Pacific: Los Angeles Lakers (2)
Southwest: New Orleans Hornets (1)
Northwest: Utah Jazz (3)
Other 5: San Antonio Spurs (4), Phoenix Suns (5), Houston Rockets (6), Dallas Mavericks (7) Portland Trailblazers (8)
7. Coach of the Year: Vinny del Negro (Chicago Bulls)
6th Man of the Year: Shane Battier (Houston Rockets)
Defensive Player of the Year: Tyson Chandler (New Orleans Hornets)
8. Eastern and Western Conference Championships:
Eastern: Boston vs. Toronto
Western: San Antonio vs. Utah
9. MVP- Chris Paul.....will not disappoint after incredible season.
10. NBA Finals: Toronto Raptors vs. Utah Jazz= LOWEST RATED NBA FINALS EVER= GREAT BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!
Champion: Utah Jazz......Jerry Sloan FINALLY gets his ring
