The regular season of the NBA will tip-off tomorrow and the onslaught of predictions have already been given by most of the elite analyst and the blogosphere. Everything from the MVP to the NBA Champion.
We here at TNLP like to harken back to the olden days when predictions were not made so willy-nilly. Mainly though, here are some our predictions that will not make any sense at all....until they come true.
-> Allen Iverson will play for twenty minutes in his home debut for the Grizzlies but mainly the story of the night will be a Jeopardy answer, "What is Practice?"
-> The Los Angeles Clippers will make the playoffs......in 2020.
-> The leading rookie scorer will be Oklahoma City guard James Harden. Harden will owe his success for that one time he saw Patrick Swayze in "Ghost."
-> Rasheed Wallace will receive five technical fouls for the entire NBA season. However, the NBA will tack on another five due to the bad performance of Tom Delay on "Dancing with the Stars"
-> The term "A Ring for the King" will be the cat-call for the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Shaquille O'Neal mistakenly decided to call it this due to Shaunie's increasing bill at Zales.
-> The Indiana Pacers will lead the league in scoring.....by white players.
-> The leaders in attendance for this season will be the Minnesota Timberwolves. The reason why is there is nothing else to do in Minnesota.
-> The most improved player for this season is Quentin Richardson. He'll be more improved then the version that got traded to Minnesota, Los Angeles and Memphis.
-> The NBA coach of the year will be Milwaukee Bucks head coach Scott Skiles. He will be given the award for having to deal with Brandon Jennings.
-> The NBA champions will celebrate with ginger ale due to the increasing price and rarity of champagne. A move that is approved by new deputy comissioner Barney Stinson.
