MY NBA All-Stars

     The starting lineups for the NBA All-Star game were announced today and seemed to be somewhat decent choices.  There's always going to be a massive amount of debate whenever a list of all-stars is released for any sport and the NBA is no different.  The reserves to the all-star teams will be announced a week from today, but I'll go ahead and include the players I believe should be named.  Instead of spamming Twitter with my choices, figure I could just make a post for it!

2011-12 NBA Preview

     Here I am writing the post that I thought would never happen.  The NBA preview for the 2011-12 season!  Due to the horrifically bad & painful lockout that lasted for 160 days.  The lockout began on July 1, just a short time after the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat for the NBA championship in 6 games.  Last year was such a phenomenal year for the NBA, it's a damn shame the fans were screwed out of 324 games.  That's 324 games featuring young superstars on the brink of becoming the faces of the NBA with Derrick Rose & Kevin Durant, the Miami Heat embracing their villain mentality and showcasing their talents across the NBA, & the initial splashes of potential rookie phenoms Kyrie Irving & Derrick Williams.  That's all in the past now, as the lockout has been officially over since early December.  We now get to look forward to watching the season play out as there will be 66 games, rather than the normal 82, due to the lockout.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out for teams.  There's going to be several instances of teams playing back-to-back-to-back games.  That could take a toll on the older teams.  OKAY!  Enough of this silly intro.  It's time for my personal predictions for the final standings in each conference, team's records, the awards, & ultimately the NBA championship.
