SCHEDULE OF OFFSEASON TEAM SPOTLIGHTS
|
|
Atlanta Hawks spotlight/User comments
Nightmare season and Rider's reign is over, but with no help coming, future isn't looking good for Kruger's krew. |
|
Boston Celtics spotlight/User comments With Walker and Pitino, there's too much talent to never reach the playoffs. Is this Boston's make or break year?
|
|
Charlotte Hornets spotlight/User comments Finished strong and among the best in the East, but with Eddie gone, all bets are off for next season.
|
|
Chicago Bulls spotlight/User comments Note to Eastern Conference: Better get your licks in now, because Bulls are starting to put the pieces together.
|
|
Cleveland Cavaliers spotlight/User comments They needed a center, they left the draft with Chris Mihm. Now it's up to Andre and Shawn to simply play ball.
|
|
Dallas Mavericks spotlight/User comments You get the feeling Mark Cuban would gain 50 pounds and suit up if he thought it would matter. It may.
|
|
Denver Nuggets spotlight/User comments With McDyess, LaFrentz and Van Exel, team shouldn't look like the Clippers when it's on the road.
|
|
Detroit Pistons spotlight/User comments Grant is gone, but Stackhouse is here and there's money to spend. Pistons will have more talent, but less wins.
|
|
Golden State Warriors spotlight/User comments With two young stars leading the way, what will be tougher: Winning games, or sharing the ball.
|
|
Houston Rockets spotlight/User comments Rockets' red glare was blunted by injuries, but with Francis, Mobley and healthy Hakeem, it's no more lottery.
|
|
Indiana Pacers spotlight/User comments No changes on the court, but there's a new leader in town. Will Isiah's coaching help, hurt or make no difference?
|
|
L.A. Clippers spotlight/User comments Are they young? Yes. Do they have talent? Yes. Do they finally have a coach? Yes. Now will it matter?
|
|
L.A. Lakers spotlight/User comments With Shaq and Kobe and pretty much anyone else, a title will always be possible, but it's not a guarantee.
|
|
Miami Heat spotlight/User comments Life of Riley had to change, so in comes Eddie Jones and Brian Grant. He'd better win something now.
|
|
Milwaukee Bucks spotlight/User comments The re-signing of Tim Thomas and draft-day deal for Joel Przybilla point to more good days ahead for the Bucks. |
|
Minnesota Timberwolves spotlight/User comments Making the playoffs is no longer a problem for the Wolves. Now, it's time for Minnesota to win a series. |
|
New Jersey Nets spotlight/User comments It's been 16 years since the Nets won a playoff series. Kenyon Martin and Byron Scott hope that changes.
|
|
New York Knicks spotlight/User comments Patrick may leave town, but it shouldn't make much of a difference. A point guard is a must.
|
|
Orlando Magic spotlight/User comments Now Doc Rivers really does have the talent to make the playoffs. With Hill and McGrady, he'd better do it.
|
|
Philadelphia 76ers spotlight/User comments With Iverson, Brown and a strong defense, the Sixers will always compete. But can another 49 wins be expected?
|
|
Phoenix Suns spotlight/User comments They won 53 games despite all those injuries. Imagine what they might do when they're healthy and have depth.
|
|
Portland Trail Blazers spotlight/User comments Bottom line: No more excuses if this team doesn't beat the Lakers and represent the West in the Finals.
|
|
Sacramento Kings spotlight/User comments Exciting and fun, but rebounding and Webber's impending free agency might cloud the Kings' future.
|
|
San Antonio Spurs spotlight/User comments As long as Duncan plays, wins will come. But to win it all, it would be nice if everyone stays healthy.
|
|
Seattle Sonics spotlight/User comments Surprise, Baker is back and Ewing's still a Knick. Can the Sonics win again with the same lineup as last year?
|
|
Toronto Raptors spotlight/User comments Sure, two starters are new and Lenny Wilkens will coach, but is there enough talent surrounding Mr. Carter?
|
|
Utah Jazz spotlight/User comments Mailman and Stockton could win Midwest again. But if past teams couldn't win it all, why would this one?
|
|
Vancouver Grizzlies spotlight/User comments They add Swift, a bench and a new coach and GM to Shareef, Bibby and Dickerson, and there's 30 wins.
|
|
Washington Wizards spotlight/User comments The top players are old, overpaid and generally unhappy, but Michael can change all that, right? Right!?!
