Here are some more season previews:
Cleveland Cavaliers
In the past, I have said I hate the Cavs. In some ways I do hate them, in other ways, I don't. I like LeBron, though. I do not hate LeBron. There you go.
Ok, so a couple of days ago, newly acquired point guard Maurice Williams said that the Cavaliers would make a great run in the season and then try and contend to go to the Finals by beating Boston, who they lost to last year in the playoffs in 7 games. I believe they can, too. Mo has been doing pretty well in preseason play so far, and LeBron is called one of the best in the league. Plus, mix i! n Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, Alexsander Pavlovic, Daniel Gibson, and some other guys, and they look like they could win the whole thing. {Well, actually the Lakers would beat them in the Finals. Haha.} But one of their major problems is that they still haven't decided who to start at shooting guard. Is it Pavlovic, Sczcerbiak, or West? They are all great shooting guards, but personally, I think that Delonte West should start. Just my opinion.
Predictions:
Record: 51-31
Scoring Leader: LeBron James 27.3
Rebounds Leader: Ben Wallace 10.5
Assists Leader: Maurice Williams 8.2
Houston Rockets
All these people are saying the Rockets will win the championship this year. They really probably won't. They added Ron Artest, who's a good player, but he gets suspended alot. Plus, Yao Ming just came back from injury, and he will probably hurt himself again, ! and Tracy McGrady gets injured every season and only plays lik! e 45 gam es. Think about it again, Rockets fans. Their chance of winning the title are pretty slim this year. In the west, you have the Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Suns, Nuggets, Clippers, Blazers, Mavericks, and Hornets. It's going to take a couple more years for you guys to do that. They'll be good, just not good enough.
Predictions:
Record: 50-32
Points: Tracy McGrady 22.5
Rebounds: Yao Ming 11.8
Assists: Steve Francis 5.9

Minnesota Timberwolves
These guys will be waaaaay better than last year. They have two great players coming to their squad this year, Mike Miller and Kevin Love. And they already have their star, Al Jefferson. They also have guys that are still young and improving like Rodney Carney, Ryan Gomes, Rashad McCants, and Sebastian Telfair. And they are getting Randy Foye back from injury and Craig Smith looks pretty good. The only ! problem is to squish all those young guys on one roster. I'm pretty sure Mike Miller is in his 30's, but the rest of the team is in around early to mid 20's. Pretty young guys. They need more veterans and experience.
Predictions:
Record: 38-44
Points: Al Jefferson 22.6
Rebounds: Al Jefferson 12.5
Assists: Sebastian Telfair 6.8
