NBA season 2008-09

I miss the Sonics already. The Celts, of course, will be a juggernaut in the East again. The Rockets overachieved last season, the addition of Ron Artest and a healthy Yao make them a legit contender. I don't think the Spurs slide will be very dramatic, if at all noticeable. They'll get Manu back after the break, and they'll secure a nice slot in playoffs. The Lake Show will be better than they were last year, and if Andrew Bynum stays healthy and continues to develop they will be much more intimidating down the stretch and into the playoffs.
