And I know some people will disagree with me, but with Stuckey getting at least 25 min per game and Amir in the starting lineup, I'm just so excited to see our next generation step up while we still compete for tops in the East. Don't sleep on Afflalo! | ||

Speaking of which, apparently Beasley looked good in the preseason game and we all know what Flash did at the Olympics. | ||

If their rookies develop, they'll be a good team in three years, but for now they're an 7th seed at best. No way are they better than Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, The RAP ATTACK, New Lookc Sixers, The Magic, or the Wiz. | ||

I'm hoping for some big things this season. Lakers cruised to the finals against one of the toughest West Conf. ever without Bynum! If the Lakers stay healthy in time for the playoffs I can't see them losing. I also want to see how well Odom plays @ SF with two 7 footers clogging the paint. I remember him being absolutely horrible at the start of last season when Phil was playing him there. Will Pau/Bynum work? Will Kobe not having surgery on his pinkie come back to bite him in the ass? So many questions... So excited for this season, hah :D Btw, how many of you think the Rockets (Tmac in particular) will make it to the 2nd round this year? Is it his year or will he forever be known as... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7514/tmacsecondroundrollinwh4.gif) | ||

Unless the Celtics trade away Kevin Garnet or he dies from intensity, that team is going very far again this year. I predict Eastern champs again, but I don't have the balls to say NBA champs. | ||

I'm just peeved that I don't get to watch Baron - Brand in Clip City... and that the Sixers are suddenly good now what? Eastern Conference doesn't need that... Thaddaus Young scared me enough already. | ||

- The Lakers with a healthy Bynum will be unstoppable and win the Championship. - Brand is going to destroy the Eastern Conference and Philly will be contenders - A healthy Jermaine O' Neal and a rising Calderon will make the Raptors contenders in the East - Suns will be mediocre with the new offensive system - This will be the last year of the Spurs dynasty and they will lose in the first or second round - Rudy Gay will become a nationally recognized star and houston will forever regret trading him | ||
