The Salt City Hoops staff has been hard at work previewing each of the contenders in the NBA. Sure the season starts today, but come playoff time, only 16 teams will get to play in the second season – and have a shot at the Larry O’Brien trophy and a place in the hall of NBA champions. Add the Utah Jazz to this list, and there are 19 teams fighting for 16 spots. Who will be left on the outside looking in?
We’ve evaluated the key matchups, sounded the high notes and the low notes, revisited (sometimes painfully) the history between the franchises, scrutinized the players and coaches, and given you an outlook for the coming season. Here, then, to kick of the 2009-2010 NBA season are links to each of those previews:
Atlantic Division: Boston Celtics | NY Knicks
Central Division: Chicago Bulls | Milwaukee Bucks | Indiana Pacers
Southeast Division: Atlanta Hawks | Charlotte Bobcats | Miami Heat | Orlando Magic
Northwest Division: OKC Thunder | Denver Nuggets | Portland Trailblazers
Pacific Division: LA Lakers | LA Clippers | Phoenix Suns
Southwest Division: Houston Rockets | San Antonio Spurs | Dallas Mavericks
