Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions Quite a few sources have predicted the Nets go far... I don't see how but I guess that's for time to tell.EDIT: Just noticed the standings and playoff predictions. Lakers behind Kings? Lakers miss playoffs? No. Just no.
Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions Not specifically talking about these predictions but Athlon usually sucks at them. They give some nice previews though, at least for college football.
Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions Wow, they overrated the Nets quite a bit, but I like to hear things like that when so many people sh*t on the Nets and think they don't deserved to be mentioned as a top 4 team in the East.
Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions :HAHAHA: those predictions are absolutely ridiculous. well, the playoff ones are. new jersey actually winning the title? that's a joke.
Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions What does that guy have against Detroit? What a moron. Detroit won't finish third or worse until Billups and Hamilton are broken up.
Re: Athlon Magazine's NBA 2006-07 Predictions <span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Well, here's to hoping the Nets do prove everyone wrong.Anyway, I must agree. Lakers? WTF? They will definitely make the Playoffs. Unless Kobe can't return from his knee surgery, I think there is nothing holding the Lakers back.</span>
