2009-10 NBA Preview: Western Conference

Posted: 28th October 2009 by Christopher Mango in NBA
Wild, wild West. Southwest Division. Projected order of finish and record. San Antonio Spurs (60-22) After playoff disappointments in each of the past two years, the Spurs are back to elite status. Being healthy and having acquired Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess, they are one of two teams, in my opinion, that can win the West. Their division is a little watered-down, and even though their ...

2009-10 NHL Preview: Western Conference

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Christopher Mango in NHL
Western ice. Central Division (projected order of finish and records; points)Detroit Red Wings (51-23-8; 110) A lot of people have jumped on the Blackhawk bandwagon, but I still think that Detroit is the team to beat in this division and ultimately in the conference. They lose one of their best players to that divisional foe, but they still have several of the best players in the game in Datsyuk and ...

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Christopher Mango in NHL
It's ice time. Atlantic Division (projected order of finish and records; points) Pittsburgh Penguins (50-25-7; 107) ThereÆs always expected to be somewhat of a letdown after a championship, but the Penguins come into this season with essentially the same team that took home the Stanley Cup this past season. The excellent core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and young Marc-Andre Fleury in net remains, as does much of the supporting cast that led ...

2009-10 NFL Preview: AFC

Posted: 10th September 2009 by Christopher Mango in NFL
More for everyone. AFC East (Predicted Order of Finish and Records)New England Patriots (11-5)  A team that won 11 games without Tom Brady, last year's is the overwhelming favorite to win the AFC East this season. They took a bunch of low-risk, high-reward gambles on proven veterans this offseason in an attempt to give them added playoff experience once they get there. As long as Belichick is running the show with Brady ...
