Rookie of the Year:Kevin Durant

Ronnie Brewer will show why he was a lottery pick in '06

Preach it, brother.

LaMarcus Aldridge will average close to 20/10

I wouldn't underestimate contributions from Frye/Pryzbilla this year. I think this season is a make or break for both of them this year. Don't forget about Josh McRoberts, either.

by **JT_55** on Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:48 am

Champion: Boston. Too good a big 3. I'm hoping for Houston, but if only they can get past the first round...
East: Boston. See above.
West: Pheonix. Nash and Amare can surely propel their team this year.
MVP: Nash. Sorry, Dirk fans.
ROY: Undecided.
Most Improved: Darko! Well, maybe.
DPOY: Camby. Growing old, but still a great blocker and overall defender.

"Close" to 20/10 sound a bit wrong. Does 17/8 count as close to 20/10? If so, I'll stick with it.

Anyway Ronnie Brewer just had the best play of the preseason. Caught the ball in stride, spin move, jumps straight up for a pretty viscious (sp?) jam. I wanted this kid or Rodney Carney over Thabo in '06, but history is history. I love Thabo anyway.

Bringing the Nuggets to their knees?

3. Denver Nuggets

Ohh...you're one of those people.

by **Fresh8** on Thu Oct 11, 2007 1:00 pm

They had a good run at the end of the season then got owned in the first round. But I think they could surprise a few people. Not pinning my hopes on them to finish 3rd but that's what's fun with predictions. I think that they have what it takes to win their division as I am thinking that Utah will stumble a bit,

by **LakersRule24** on Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:31 pm

COY: Brian Hill

Playoff Standings
West
1. Mavericks
2. Spurs
3. Jazz
4. Lakers

East
1. Celtics
2. Pistons
3. Bulls
4. Magic
5. Cavs
6. Raptors
7. Nets
8. Knicks

-Heat will miss the playoffs
-A healthy Lakers squad if Bynum averages 14/10 and if Radmanovic is that shooter he got him for, then the Lakers will go as far as being a 3rd seed. The Suns on the other hand are aging in mileage and real age. Stoudemire had another surgery, Nash will slow down, and they have a disgrunted Marion.

-Cavs are in 6-8th spot in the East
