My only prediction is that the Hawks will continue to be the second best basketball team based in Atlanta.

Toronto will make the playoffs this year. Watch me eat crow. That's about all I know.

I appreciate everything Ben Wallace did for Detroit but I'll be damned if I don't hope that Ben and the Chicago Bulls are terrible this year.

I'm predicting that Dallas will win all six conferences. I haven't gotten over the Finals. Also, players will blame every single missed shot this year on moist balls.

Well, to be fair, that's been my go-to excuse for years.

Allan Ray will play limited minutes for the Celtics before getting cut or sent to the NBDL. For each touch during those minutes, I will yell out "The Comma" in hopes of convincing him, via a one-way cable TV connection, he is Ray, Allan.
