The Mag's 2009-2010 NBA preview

This NBA season hinges on the kind of bonds the contenders concoct in the lab -- or at least on the court. But if chemistry were the only subject that mattered, the Spurs would be working on one for the thumb -- the second thumb. So we're taking a look at how each of the 30 NBA clubs fares in a variety of subjects: Chemistry, yes, but also Biology, because trainers countrywide will be working overtime to ready hobbled or aging stars; Economics, because salary caps and team finances are as formidable an opponent as Dwight Howard in the paint; History, because what has happened before has happened for a reason; and Math, because, the numbers -- well, ESPN Insider John Hollinger's anyway -- never lie. Our report cards are tough but fair. And before you tell us that the overall mark doesn't add up -- c'mon, haven't you heard of grading on a curve?

Was Ric Bucher drinking at the time he did this? Derrick Rose for MVP, really? Also, Knicks fans must be happy with Avery Johnson's prediction about the FA on the move.

I'm bored:

Cavaliers vs Lakers in the Finals...Lakers in 6.
Surprise: Wizards (by default)
Disappointment: Nuggets
Last place: Kings
MVP: Dwight Howard
MIP: Trevor Ariza
ROY: Jonny Flynn
FA on the move: Chris Bosh

And yeah, Bucher must've smoked something.

Derrick Rose as MVP

I'm surprised no one voted for the Magic. I wonder if it's just a strong belief in a healthy Celtics team, or doubting Orlando.

Not only did Bucher pick Rose for MVP, he also picked Durant for MIP.

wow its really difficult for me to say it because i actually used to somewhat respect him, but bucher's opinion on anything is now meaningless to me. Derrick Rose for MVP.........smh x1
