Now that you're getting older, you better get used to saying that.

People please take my predictions lightly, I don't believe the Rox can win that many awards but like the Great jim carrey said:

Celtics vs Lakers......Lakers wins CHAMPIONSHIP!
MVP-Kobe
ROY-Griffin
Comeback POY-Garnett
Most Improve-Brewer (Minnesota)
6th man- Ginobili if he doesn't crack starting line up

Good call on Brewer. He looks much better in the preseason.

Corey Brewer aka the Kobe Stopper

I think you are talking about Ronnie Brewer!

I appreciate the ROY to Tyreke and all but 20 wins for the kings...

Come on man

You guys won 17 games last year, and that was with half of a season with Salmons & Miller. Young teams generally struggle for wins, and I don't think the Kings will be any exception. I'll be surprised if they win more than 25.

As for the Wizards, they get Gilbert Arenas & Brendan Haywood back, and added Mike Miller & Randy Foye for basically nothing. And Flip Saunders almost always wins 45+ games. The last time Arenas was healthy, they won 43 games. Heck, the "experts" (ahem) at ESPN have them getting the #5 seed.

These are just guesses, anyway. Almost nothing's based on observation at this point.

Last night sold me on the Bullets

I have to go with LAL over BOS in 7, that should and will be a great series if it happens, 2 teams full of star players.

My Top Playoff Contending Teams:

EAST:
Boston
Orlando
Cleveland
Atlanta
Detroit
Washington

WEST:
LA Lakers
Denver
San Antonio
New Orleans
Dallas
Utah

the rest IMO dont really have a chance

MVP: LeBron(Obvious choice, him or Kobe, only 2 choice IMO)
ROY: Blair(Something about him, i wanted him to be a rocket)
COY: Adelman(He will do some good things, with less talent as usual)

I have one prediction. It's for us Warrior fans:

About 1/3 of the way into the season...


-Philly's much worse than I expected. Terrible defensively.

-Milwaukee's on their way to being a good team. I really like how they play. They don't quite have enough firepower yet, but they are surprisingly good on the defensive end.

-I didn't expect the Bulls to miss Ben Gordon as much they do. They have too many guys that can't shoot, and other teams are just packing the lane in. Especially off of Noah. Del Negro is TERRIBLE from an X's and O's standpoint.

-Gotta give Mike Woodson some credit. That team has gotten better every single year. A Boston/Atlanta matchup in the 2nd Round could be bad news for the Celtics.

-I was wrong about the Wizards. I expected Agent Zero to return. He got neutered somewhere along the way.

-OKC is continuing to build a solid squad. But as much as I like Sam Presti, he needs to start addressing the front court. I think this is his 3rd year, and it's still as bad as it's ever been. That's what's keeping them from getting to the next level.

-The Lakers are far and away the best team in the league. All homerism aside, every article I read that references the opinion of an NBA Scout shares the same sentiment.

-Phoenix has gotten back to what they do best, and having Shaq gone helps them do that. It's still not sustainable in the playoffs, but at least they're entertaining again.

-Westphal's kicking some serious ass in Sacramento. Evans has gotten a ton of love, deservedly so, but I think that Omri Casspi's been a great glue guy. He's one of the Top 5 rookies right now, IMO.

-Golden State...what can you say at this point? I'm waiting for the inevitable 13-7 run to close the season that puts them out of the Wall/Turner/Favors discussion.

-Dammit...I thought that Houston was most likely team to be the "surprise" team of the year, but I still picked them to have a crappy record. They're a great example of what team basketball can do.

-The thing that's most concerning about San Antonio is that they're struggling WITH Duncan playing great basketball. I think their days as a championship contender are over.

-Chris Paul in New Orleans is starting to remind me of KG in Minnesota. But they've gone on a nice little run recently.

-Memphis is halfway decent, especially once the Iverson drama was over. Marc Gasol might already be a Top 10 center in the league. He's a very well rounded player.
