Wait, what? You mean statistically right?

And yes, a lot of people do have very high expectations for the Knicks. I'm not getting my hopes high because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. I believe Stephon will have a great year only because he will want to out-do Stevie.

As for predictions:

Eddy Curry will be the Most Improved Player this season.

Sean May will have a breakout year.

Dwight Howard will be in MVP contention.

The Mavs will have a spectacular season but lose in the playoffs.

Amare Stoudamire will NEVER be on the same level he used to be.

Shawn Kemp will play ONE NBA game.

LeBron will win the MVP.

Carmelo will be recognized as one of the best players in the league.

Dwayne Wade will have an off year.

Darius Miles will be traded... again.

I hope you made that up and didn't hear that nickname on the radio or something

To the guy who asked why everyone thinks the Wiz will do something this year:

They improved their defense over the summer with "D-Steve" and Songaila coming off the bench

Gilberts coming back better than ever after losing to the Cavs on 2 fluke free throws

Our starting lineup as a whole (Arenas, Stevenson, Butler, Jamison, Haywood) has the potential to be EXPLOSIVE

Wiz this year= :pimp:

here's the real question about "D-Steve".....who hasn't heard him called that before? I have heard him called D-Steve by many NBA players....it's a damn nickname....I know it isn't a self proclaimed "mamba" "mango" or some other @#%$, but it's just a nickname that I have heard him been called before....anyone who has followed dude since his days in Cali to the NBA knows this....more proof below....this is a stupid argument, but some of you need to be informed

-The Bulls will be as good as they are, but NOT as good as everybody thinks they are going to be. Big Ben will be exposed for his complete lack of size (and offense). They need him to guard people straight up, and he isn't going to be able to do that consistently.
-Pistons will still be good, but not as good, but too soft to contend. The acquisitions they have made have made them SOFT.
-Lakers will make the POs only if Kobe scores 35+, otherwise those scrubs will be at home.
-Wizards will be just as good without Jeffries, maybe even better.
-Amare is back, and the Suns win it ALL, beating San Antonio in the WCF and Miami in the Finals.
-Josh Smith does get some pub, but only on sportscenter for his dunks, because the Hawks will SUCK DEEP. He will still get like 19 and 10, with 2.5 blocks and 2 steals.
-Nuggets will make the Playoffs by default, and be the only team from their division.
-Toronto will NOT make the Playoffs, but almost the ENTIRE Central Division will.
-Cleveland will play Detroit again in the POs, this time in the first round, AND with a different outcome.
-Don Nelson will realize that his ridiculous schemes are a LOT more fun when watching from home, and IMAGINING.
-Dallas won't be as good as last year.
-This years rookie class will be seen as very good, because EVERYBODY is going to play IMMEDIATELY.
-Sadly, AI and KG will be in the same positions this time next year.
-The Knicks will be improved and maybe even fun to watch (though they won't make the POs), and Zeke won't be fired. Francis and both Rose's need to be moved.
-Orlando will be on the cusp of making the POs, but lack of quality depth may keep them out. Nelson, and Howard will have MONSTER years. Darko goes for 14 and 8.
-'03 Draft Class will start to look like the '96 class as more stars begin to emerge.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

The kings will end up with a better record than the lakers and go deeper into the playoffs..

-Rajon and Bassy will be the best PG Duo in the L after Knight and Felton

-Kwame will regress

-i dont wanna say it but Odom might implode. either he uses the memory of his son to fuel him or he'll remain as another Tim Thomas

-Crawford will be a killer. mark my words.

-Raptors will be decent and will vie with Milwaukee/Orlando/Knicks for the 8th seed

THIS IS A PREDICTIONS THREAD...for a reason

STOP FIGHTING/ARGUING/REFUTING/DEFENDING OTHER PEOPLE's OPINIONS...

you can ask how they figure that prediction, but its dumb to come out against someone's post like, NO WAY! KOBE WILL BE BETTER THAN HIM!

...its a frakin prediction...just acknowledge it, say u dont think so or u co-sign and keep it moving. that is all.


anyways, that being said. Gary Payton will have a MUCH better season than expected.
-Chris Wilcox will be then next Amare (kinda...think about it) but with more boards and better defense.
-Don Nelson's first year wil be more semi-disappointing than positive.
-the Bucks will be surprisingly higher than 6th seed.
-David West wil continue imrpoving
-Hedo Turkoglu will avg 20+ppg. inside and out.


...-Kobe wil bang on Andrew Bogut, while Felton bangs on Sheldon Williams.
But then again, you're probably just another Hypebeast McDunk...

Hmmm...that's a very interesting comparison...the talent has always been there, it is just putting together other aspects of his game to make himself live up to potential. IMO, he will have a better season statistically than Amare, but I think that for him to average 26/9 might be a little far fetched....I could see Wilcox averaging 18/10 or so, but a lot of this falls directly on Ridnour's shoulders.....can Ridnour really step up and make himself a top tier PG in the West? I think Ridnour could really break out this season...maybe a 13/9? Down the line, could he be a variant Steve Nash? Could be an interesting season up in Seattle....

Relax man, its not that serious.

We're both Wiz fans, we should be excited about this season more than anything

I'm cool....but when I get called out, I come w/ the facts....

btw, if you dont have a subscription to ESPN the Mag, you should get this weeks (Urlachers and Alex Brown on the cover)...great story about Gil....HILARIOUS part about when his dad sees his new tattoo...Gil got a big @#%$ tiger head tatted across his whole stomach....it looks kinda crappy, but the dialogue between Gil and his dad is staight up comedy....maybe it was an insider article as well...i dunno, but it is a great read
