I predict LeBron James and Wade will have a public falling out by the all star break.

also...Melo will be traded to the Knicks.

Hawks will trade Jamal at the trade deadline.

Hawks Will not make the playoffs. Hurt me to say it but Drew is not up to the job. Hawks fans will soon learn the importance of a strong leader like Woody.

Acie Law will have a breakout season..

That prediction makes me depressed...

If the Hawks don't make the playoffs this year (barring significant injuries, which always is an X factor), going into next year that means Craws is gone, Horford is gone (if we don't get something done really quickly coming up), and JJ's will be the worst contract ever signed.

The Hawks are way too talented to not make the playoffs in the East....doesn't matter who is the coach. Unless LD's changes completely disrupt our team, a coach could just roll the ball out to our guys and tell them to go play and we should be a top 8 team.

Champ: LA

MVP: Durant

Rookie of the year: Wall

Coach of the year: Rivers

Defensive player: D. Howard

6th man: Ginobli

Comeback Player of the Year - Yao Ming (2nd Bedrinas)

Celtics/Heat/Bulls

Lakers/Thunder/Mavericks

Lakers Win the West

Heat win the East b/c the Celtics old legs will be wore out after 100 games.

The Hawks will get some minor injuries. I'm predicting that 2 oldest players in top 6 of the rotation(Bibby and Crawford) get some nagging veteran injuries (Crawford's back) and miss some time.

Hawks 49 - 33
