NBA 2004-2005 Season PreviewGary Whittaker Here are your big stories for the upcoming new season:
Ok, so those may not actually pan out, but here are some that we think will:
Plus/Minus splits for Shaq-Kobe Player Situation Off48 Def48 Net48 W L Shaq with Kobe 104.0 93.5 +10.5 45 10 Shaq w/out Kobe 95.0 91.2 +3.8 34 29 Kobe with Shaq 104.0 93.5 +10.5 45 10 Kobe w/out Shaq 94.7 99.3 -4.6 22 36 Looking forward though, none of that matters as both players go into this season surround by a new starting 4. Shaquille and Miami aside, the next biggest story will be how 5 of the 8 playoff teams from the East may be below .500. We expect quality basketball to be hard to come by in the East. Your two other top teams will be Detroit and Indiana. We expect Isiah Thomas to make things interesting in New York, Lebron James to make highlight reels in Cleveland, and Toronto to be Charlotte’s 2nd rival after New Orleans as they will be battling to stay out of the cellar. The Sun may set in the West, but we feel that this team is on the rise, and ready to take the next step forward. The Kings, Timberwolves, Lakers and Spurs will be hard pressed to keep them out of the top 4 this year. With the possible exception of Seattle, every team should be fun to watch this year. Here are our predictions for the final standing this season Eastern Conference Atlantic Boston Celtics
Central Detroit Pistons
Southeast Miami Heat
Western Conference Southwest San Antonio Spurs
Northwest Denver Nuggets
Pacific Phoenix Suns
