NBA Predictions 09-10
October 26th, 2009 | by Ryan Jones |We all know that predictions aren’t worth a thing once the ball officially tips on the 2009-10 season, but it’s still fun to look back after the season to see how horribly wrong we were.
Though I must say last season I had Lakers over Cavs, so I wasn’t that far off (and might go back to the well this season).
I usually don’t make you “jump”, but in order to keep a reallllly long post off of the front page, that’s what we are going to do today.
A hint of what you’ll see: The Nets higher than most expect.
Would you expect anything less?
