NBA Predictions
Written September 8, 2008 by Jack Jones
We are happy to have started working on the upcoming 2008-09 season, making our NBA predictions on which teams are going to do well and which teams are going to struggle. While we will update our general overview when we have completed each of the teams, we thought we would list the standings that we think will be shown at the end of the year, along with who is going to make the playoffs and win the title.
