2009-2010 NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE PREVIEW

by DOUG FERGUSON

 

Hi everyone and welcome to NBE’s take on the NBA!!!  We introduce our site to you at an exciting time for NBA fans as the season is just over 2 weeks away.  I hope to prove I know what I’m talking about (at least a little bit) by making my preseason picks..  If anyone is planning on making a friendly wager of lunch with a co-worker or something to that extent, this is the right place to look.  I must admit that I messed up slightly last year in picking the Cavs, but I did the trifecta on MVP as well as Rookie and Coach of the year.  Anyways, here are the goods.  Choose against them at your own peril, just don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
