But last year's point guards weren't effective and we don't know that Cole is "a guy off the street." He might just be good..

I'm not saying he was right, I'm just saying that it's going to be hard to tell for a while if cole is actually good, or is just young with fresh legs and benefiting greatly from the talent around him.

Cane, I just looked at New Jersey's roster and my first thought was "oh no." Because I picked them to make the playoffs. I should've done some research.

yeah, it's not good. At least if they implode, this year's draft class is stacked. If they fail on Dwight, they might want to think about trading Deron at mid-season and going full-on rebuild mode.

I really hope the Raptors don't make the playoffs. Thankfully I don't they will even if the East is filled with a lot of really crappy teams. They certainly didn't add any players this season with the thought that they actually will help them win games, they're just veteran place setters on one year deals who are happy to still be in the NBA.Outside of Deron Williams New Jersey's roster might be the worst I can remember ever seeing on an NBA team. Lopez is really overrated and his rebounding is Bargnani like and that isn't good.I predict that Dallas struggles to make the playoffs this year. They just are not a very good team right now.

I really have no idea why Dallas picked up Vince Carter.

Because he's now cheap.

But he's still Vince Carter.

I still think the schedule is going to hurt them, but I might've forgotten that the Spurs are actually pretty good.

1. The Heat will cruise to the best record and win the title in six games over the Thunder.2. The Magic and Lakers will struggle mightily early on, which will lead to the Dwight Howard trade finally happening. 3. Boston will make the playoffs as a #7 seed and lose in another epic first-round playoff series against Chicago.4. League-wide scoring will be down at least two points from last year.5. West playoff teams: OKC, LAC, LAL, DAL, POR, MEM, DEN, HOU. Minnesota will be surprisingly frisky, but will just miss the playoffs. Denver and Houston will finish just under .500.6. East playoff teams: MIA, CHI, NYK, IND, BOS, ORL, NJN, ATL.7. Kevin Durant will be named league MVP over the more deserving Lebron James.

1. Well, it still has a chance at being half right.2. Mostly wrong.3. This one looked pretty good for the first part, but now looking wrong.4. I haven't checked in a while, but I'm guessing I underestimated this one by a good margin.5. This one actually looks pretty good except that I whiffed completely on San Antonio.6. lol New Jersey7. This was looking dead in the water for most of the season, but if current trends continue, it has a chance.

Confirmed.

[CaneBrain]

Norris Cole has the potential to be a very good back-up PG for any team. Right now, though, he is a liability for the Heat and I would expect his minutes to shrink noticeably in the playoffs.

That doesn't look like a game we can all play.

Memphis is my sleeper team. I think they have as good a chance to win the West as anybody.

How the hell the cavs have positioned themselves to make a run this year, by squandering at least like 8/10 #1 picks in 5 years, mismanaging coaches, and burning bridges with super stars, I'll never know. If the Cavs add love and LeBron to a team that's managed to do less with more than any bottom feeder outside the Knicks, I will adopt the position that Gilbert has known what he was doing all along. He was just trying to look pathetic, so LeBron would feel bad for him and help him out.

Edit: Gilbert is a genius.
