Man I ordered tickets to the Celts vs Raps game through our concierge service here at work. Both orders were rejected cuz they were already sold out but their website just didn't update it. !@#$!@ They go on sale to the public on Saturday so that's my last chance if I don't want to pay scalper-priced tickets
This thread is made way too early. The season doesn't start until May.

I really don't think the Celts are going as far as some people think lol Outside of their big 3, they're seriously understaffed. They'll make the playoffs but they're out bye the semis.
I do like Houston's chances...they made some modest upgrades around McGrady and Yao...plus they'll flourish offensively in Rick Adelman's coaching style.
Also, provided the rest of the roster is healthy, Portland might sneak in as an 8th seed. If anything else, they'll improve on last year's record by 4 or 5 games.

He's out for the exhibition season as a precaution but will be ready by opening day. I'm interested in seeing how LaMarcus Aldridge does as starting PF.....he reminds me a lot of Rasheed Wallace, only without the whole crybaby part.
I really don't think Denver's going anywhere this season...Portland took away their starting PG and they haven't made any real moves to improve their team. Probably won't make the playoffs.
There's no way they don't, unless they take a huge hit on injuries. Two of the best players in the game, with good support (JR, Camby, Nene, Kenyon if he can still play).

They need someone to distribute the ball to AI and Melo....AI's a scorer just as much as Melo and won't want to give up that rock so much. That's why Steve Blake did so well in Denver...now that he's in Portland the Nuggets are thin at PG. They have Chucky Atkins but he's already 33 and doesn't push as much as Steve. I think they'll do ok if Camby and Kenyon pick up their seasons.
If Chucky is their starting PG, then I see why you think they will have trouble. Chucky probably gives up twice his ppg to opponent PGs.
I also see AI distributing more, he already has enough scoring titles and he should be doing whatever it takes to win. Denver will go as far as their coaching can go, they have loads of talent.

Plenty of dimes. Though you don't want a pure scorer's abilities to go to waste.
There have been plenty of teams with dual scorers without a fancy PG that have won. Teams don't desperately need a Steve Nash, Jason Kidd or Stockton to win (all of which are ring-less).
