Interesting post on the Orlando Sentinel blog. Probably more speculation than substance, but something to think about.

I'm not quite sure why I get so much enjoyment out of this. I'm not usually this vindictive. At its heart this feeling is really kind of mean. But then why is it so fun?

A collection of NBA-related news and notes.

Haslem maybe done for year?

A good friend of mine recently started a blog on our Sunday night opponent called OKC Thunderdome (catchy huh?). Seemed like a perfect chance to learn a little about the Thunder (and give him some props). The Thunder are my flavor-of-the-month favorite Western Conf. team anyway, so it's a great fit.

On to the Western Conference. The Lakers remain the cream of the crop out west. Who could knock them off? Don't know that anyone can. But the Thunder have the best shot, in my opinion. Portland, and Dallas should give a good account of themselves. Like the Celtics, San Antonio spends to keep its core together and add Splitter and James Anderson.

Crystal ball or broken mirror? NBA team predictions

Because Jeff, Greg and Jimmy do such a solid job of game breakdown and analysis, I know you don’t want me to tell you…yet again… how great Ray, Rondo and Paul were last night.

Are you sick of previews yet? Are you ready to have a real game to react to? Me too. But I have to share just one more preview with you because, ...well, because I wrote it.

In case you missed it, the regular season starts tomorrow. So of course that means the rush to get previews published on time is in full swing. Here are a few from SBNation.
