I am not alone in calling the L.A. Lakers the Most Improved Team in the NBA, and I have gone so far as to say I believe they can win 70 games. (Thanks to all of you who have voted in our polls for how many games the Lakers and Heat will win.)
But what about the other end of the spectrum?
My pick is the Houston Rockets as the team Most Likely to Resemble the Charlotte Bobcats. That’s what happens when you put all your eggs in the Dwight Howard basket, then roll the dice and crap out in trade talks.
And whose job is most on the line, coaching-wise? I make my selection in this preseason preview with CineSport’s Noah Coslov.
Going out on a limb huh, I disagree and I’ll tell you why. The lakers traded one allstar center for another. No improvement there. They gave up offense for defense at the center position. The only change is Nash who is 40 yrs old, he will help but not that much.
The Houston rockets will surprise this year meaning, 30-35 wins. They will get better every year. The point and center position has talent and years of future play along with a young and unique set of rookies and sophomores.
I think your reasons for leaving ESPN had very little to do with Pete Vecsey and everything to do with your decision to chow on giant wads of Bubblicious while on camera.
