The Insider would like to give a
special shout-out to the Nerve Video
Blog which, for a time, was converted into the Nerve Sports Blog via the
Nerve NBA Preview. Oliver Miller wrote a six-part post that you can see here: the
Atlantic
division, the central
division, the southeast
division the northwest
division, the Pacific
Division and the southwest
division.
Here are some of his predictions:
“New Jersey
Nets: “New Jersey has Jason Kidd as their
point guard, who I dislike because he blows a kiss to his wife every time that
he shoots a free-throw. That's creepy. Prediction: 42 wins
Indiana Pacers: Naming your team after the slowest car in a car race seems --
symbolically speaking -- like a really stupid idea. ...And in a stunning
coincidence, the Indiana Pacers also happen to... suck. Prediction: 32 wins
San Antonio Spurs: Did you have some kid in your high school who
was super good-looking and on the soccer team and dating a cheerleader and
got good grades and never drank and was popular and was
even nice to the nerds in the hallways? That's what the Spurs are like. They're
better than you, and you can't even hate them for it. Prediction: 62 wins”
