So: many subplots this year:
1. Klay's exact role
2. Makeup of second team
3. JKidd's roster and ego management
4. Dinwiddie's role
5. Measurable Vogel influence
6. Adelson/Cuban relationship
7. Cuban's spokesperson role: historical or more subtle
8. Gambling connection
9. New arena?
10. ???

I seriously can't wait for the season. I'm sooooo hyped.
Still need to find time to do Pre-season record predictions.

Not that I keep track of things like this...I mean...we all know it's not the wins that count, but how you play!
hmmph...yeah right. Did I win last season's prediction? No...really, seriously...did I win? Did I? Did I? Did I?
I'm with you, and fifteenth--I need the season to start!
Ah...it's nice that I'm still a kid at heart. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak...
