With the NBA season kicking off tomorrow night it's time to preemptively and unfairly judge all the NBA teams based on their paper stats, how their off seasons went and how far reputations can carry them.
Without the Sonics as my home team, I have become a transient fan in the NBA world and claim no team as my favorite. It is my goal to not favor any one team over another. I am intentionally working with my goal to be as objective as any human being can be, and I look forward to any of your arguments of why I'm an idiot or why your team should be higher or lower in my rankings.
The Heat receive the champion's courtesy and are listed number one until someone shows they can beat them. You don't have to like them, just beat them.

Fire the coach of the year and lose the executive of the year... not a good transition into 2013-14 for the Nuggets. |
