Now the Bulls have a chance!

__________________
NBA CHAMP- Phoenix.

Its their year. If Amare comes back (a big if) then they will have it all.

NBA FINALS- Phoenix 4-2 Chicago (Since Tmac has gotten to Houston, I always take them, but not this year)

Yes, the Bulls are in the finals. They beat the Cavs in the eastern finals in 7 games. Might be the Bulls best chance before Lebron goes all Jordan on us. But with Detroit weaker, and Miami a year older, this leaves Chicago

MVP-Lebron James

I just cant even think of a guy who could be close. Bosh and Yao are 2 and 3.

Most Improved- I dont know.

It will come from the following 5 players. Mickael Pietrus, who should be perfect under Nellies weird system. Darko Millicic, really impressive in Orlando last year. Tyson Chandler, Just a feeling, might have that year we have been looking for. JR Smith. The only thing I didnt think Pax needed to do this summer. This guy has a real shot at stardom. Leandro Barbosa

Rookie of the Year. Mickael Gelabale Seattle. This kid is NBA ready, can play 2 spots, though spots that Seattle has good players and a real motor. Will beat out Chicago Bull Tyrus Thomas (2nd), Rudy Gay and Seattle teammate Mouhamed Sene.

Defensive Player of the Year. Mouhamed Sene. Reach, athleticism and desire means he will be the first rookie to win this award. Might have a problem with the fouls early this year, but his ability to cover ground and his length mean something special on the way.

6th man of the year. Leandro Barbosa. Second team all defense and scores in the mid digits. Could be the best point guard (if you can call him that) from his draft class, yes Hinrich and Ford, that includes you, if Nash wasnt the MVP.

Surprise Team
West-Seattle. They have two outstanding rookies and 2 more young bigs. I believe Petro and Sene make a great upfront combo, Swift will be dealt for the other things and Gelabale will be special.

East- Toronto. Bargnani will help, but Bosh will be the MVP runner up to Lebron. Orlando a close #2

Disappointing Team
East- Miami- Shaq is just getting older and Wade can only carry the team so far. They were pretty flawed last year and won the individual brilliance of Wade and Shaq. Take one out of the equation and they might not be the best team in Florida

West- LA Lakers. Unless Andrew Bynum makes the next big step this team might not make the playoffs. Kobe was hurt all summer and I just think they played over their head. I wasnt blown away by their offseason. LA Clippers are #2 here.

Executive of the Year. John Paxson. Just a super offseason. Gets Ben Wallace, which no one thought he could do. Drafts a guy in Tyrus Thomas who is outstanding and promising rookie Thabo Sefolosha. Gets rid of Chandlers contract. Only mistake was giving JR Smith away.

2007 Draft- Oden is the guy but Thabeet will make it far closer than most thought was possible.

Coach of the year. Don Nelson. GS goes back to the playoffs for the first time in about a century (or since he was the coach). Sure they make it as a 7th seed but thats good enough for him to get the award.

Most likely big name to be dealt. Chris Webber, Rashard Lewis, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson/Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Emeka Okafor, Lamar Odom, Jermaine Oneal.

Superbowl- Bears this year
SI Sports Man of the Year 2007- The city of Chicago
Champs League Final Chelsea vs Arsenal. Arsenal are the winners.

And one final prediction. Jay Williams, whom I predicted a few years ago would play in the NBA again (too alot of ridicule, Songcycle, are you reading that?) will be good enough, along with Marcus Williams, that the Jason Kidd trade rumors will pick up some steam.

When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I do know one thing: in the 20 years from March 22, 1972, when he first ordered that extra nicotine be put into his product, until February 25, 1992, when he issued an interoffice memorandum stopping the addition of that nicotine, my client was legally insane.

Skiles was making a valid point. Four minutes left in the half and we haven't been to the line yet.

Darius Miles Davis

Screw you Nubby!

I just had to say that.

VincentVega

rlucas, how you hangin, my man? Long time no talk. Hope things are well overseas.

TripleDouble

Must we turn the ball over every other possession?

thebizkit69u

Yup, Curry has been hacked all night, so has duhon and not one freethrow. just sick.

mizenkay

lol!

and what about boylan?

TripleDouble

Maybe it's the Ref's fraternity's revenge for Paxson's comments.

thebizkit69u

What the hell is going on in the commentators both, is Red Kerr unwrapping some 35 cent cheeseburgers from mcdonalds. An annoying wrapper sound is constantly heard.

jnrjr79

Man, we have given up WAY too many easy shots in the lane. We need a couple of hard fouls to send a message.

I can hear Red unwrapping a cough drop now. Ugh. I swear he's the phleghmiest color man in all of sports.

TripleDouble

Maybe it's the Ref's fraternity's revenge for Paxson's comments.

VincentVega

Red's getting ready to bone Dore.
