I think Boston could give Cleveland a game. The other 3 are set up to be yawners. |

i don't know. for a few reasons i think the Cavs are going to win going away. the first being the Cavs' ridiculous record at home last year. secondly, the rajon rondo and glenn davis situations have been distractions, and thirdly it's garnett's first game back -- there's definitely going to be some rust there. the celts got beat by the pacers and a host of other mediocre/bad teams early in the year last season. i wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again this year. |

Don't sleep on HOU, they played really well when Tmac and Yao went out last year. It will be interesting to see how Ariza fills in for Artest. BOS should be able to handle CLE with their length, and they have veteran guys........later in the season it might swing the other way when the old guys get a little rundown. Rondo just turned down an extension and is apparently a beast now...playing for some big money.......he could be very dangerous this year.........who on CLE is going to handle him? |

you're right about houston looking good without yao and mcgrady last year, but i don't see that trend continuing. i think houston will end up either lost in the middle of the pack, or epically bad. they could easily end up in the latter, but coaching will get them somewhere. |

Rondo is the key to my fantasy team (along with the injury prone Jameer Nelson unfortunately). If he continues his development, and can become a 15/6/9 plus a steal a game guy, my team will be a handful. |

He said that LAC was the best situation for LeBron. Lots of young talent, big market, west coast weather, etc. It won't happen, but it would be interesting to say the least. He isn't going to the Knicks. |

Simmons isn't a LAC fan, he has season tickets because he lives there and despises the Lakers. He is a BOS fan. |

Of course he's not going to the Knicks. Lots of young talent? Two players is lots of young talent? He needs to go where there is veteran talent that knows how to win in the playoffs. To be honest, I think Cleveland is currently as good of a situation for him as possible. He's got good complimentary pieces and they play pretty good team defense. |

I'd take Cleveland, Portland, Dallas, and the Lakers as well in all those games. In terms of a prediction for the season, I would say the Lakers win the West and the Cavs probably win the East, meet in the finals, and the Lakers repeat...again. Don't watch much NBA, though. |
