2014-15 NBA Predictions

The NBA Preview used to be my favorite piece to write every year but as I get older I’m struggling to find the motivation to put in the same effort that I used to.  That and I find myself watching more college football than ever before on Saturday’s leaving the Eagles and chores for Sunday’s.  Not to mention that Phish always seems to be playing in late October giving me even less time to write about the NBA.  But never fear I’ve got your predictions right here.
