You might not have noticed, but the NBA Regular Season starts tonight. And what’s the use of having a blog if you can’t post foolhardy bold predictions?
So here are three bold predictions for the coming season:
- The Rockets will reach the playoffs.
- If Yao Ming stays healthy, the Rockets will reach the Western Conference Finals.
- Either way, the Lakers will not repeat as Western Conference Champions. I think this is the year when Kobe Bryant finally starts to show too much wear on the tires. Even if the Rockets fall short, I expect Oklahoma City or Portland to edge the Lakers.
Anyone else care to chime in with their own predictions?
