ONE love, blood, life
The 2008-09 regular season starts tomorrow night, so I thought it was time for a new thread(mods, you can lock the other thread).
Will the Boston Celtics be able to repeat?
Will The Los Angeles Lakers get back to the finals?
Will the addition of Ron Artest to the Houston Rockets lead to T-Mac finally getting out of the first round and/or the Rockets finally becoming a real title contender?
Will the addition of Elton Brand lead the Philadelphia 76ers to title contention?
Will the addition of Jermaine O'Neal put the Raptors in more serious Eastern Conference contention?
Will the Phoenix Suns be able to put together another title run despite losing D'Antoni and getting up there in age, or is the Nash Era in its twilight, the torch about to be handed to Amare?
Will perennial title contender San Antonio Spurs be able to contend yet again? How much will Manu's early absence hurt them? Will Duncan still produce as he has in the past? Will age catch up?
Will the inaugural season of the Walsh/D'Antoni regime and the first season since early in the decade in which Isiah is absolutely no part of the franchise mean the beginning of the New York Knicks' rise from oblivion?
Will Larry Brown make the Charlotte Bobcats into a playoff team?
Will Rick Carlisle be able to coach the Dallas Mavericks into one last Dirk-led title run or is their best chance behind them?
Will the Detroit Pistons once again be an elite team in the East or will they finally start showing their age? When they lost to Boston, Sheed was certainly talking like he felt they were done as a team.
How will the Los Angeles Clippers look this year, having lost Elton Brand and having acquired Baron Davis?
How will Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls, Michael Beasley and the Miami Heat, and OJ Mayo and the Memphis Grizzlies - the top three picks of the draft and their teams - fare?
How will Greg Oden's belated rookie season play out, and will the Portland Trail Blazers be as good as many have said they can be?
How will the Seattle Supersonics' inaugural season as the Oklahoma City Thunder go?
Discuss these and other questions...
