NBA Blog Previews 2009 - Schedule

It's that time of year again.  Time for the blogosphere to rise up and tell the "experts" that we know better than them (and then find out that we have about the same success rate for predicting the future).

This will be the 4th annual NBA Blog Previews and it has been very well received in past years.  For those unfamiliar, it is an effort to get NBA bloggers to preview their team for the upcoming season and link to all the other previews, thus giving each team's fanbase a better understanding of the other teams in the league.  It also gives bloggers a chance to show their stuff to a wider audience.

As always, the previews will one team per day for the month of October (starting with the Celtics ...of course).  See the full schedule after the break.  (additional details for bloggers are at the bottom of the list)

I'm going to throw in individual player previews as well

assuming this won’t be a problem, as long as I have the five questions as well?

feel free to be creative, I’m just trying to provide a familiar template so that the reader knows what they are getting
