2014 Denver Nuggets Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/8/2014

Last season the Denver Nuggets were plagued by injury and bad luck that left the team spiraling down the Western Conference with 21 fewer wins than their franchise-best 57-25 record from the year before. Heading into the 2014-15 campaign the organization is excited to find out just how good its core can be under second-year coach Brian Shaw if its roster can stay healthy throughout the grind of an 82-game season.

2014 Portland Trail Blazers Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/7/2014

The Portland Trail Blazers suffered a heartbreaking and humiliating defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs during the second round of the last year’s playoffs that sent the team back home licking its wounds yet hoping to grow from the experience. Portland opened the playoffs by upsetting the Houston Rockets in six games and began riding a wave of momentum and confidence heading into San Antonio.

2014 Minnesota Timberwolves Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/7/2014

The Minnesota Timberwolves put themselves in a precarious situation two seasons ago by refusing to offer Kevin Love a maximum five-year contract and instead wanted to save the money to lock up Ricky Rubio long term. Minnesota signed Love to a four-year deal with an opt-out clause at the three-year mark. That frustrated the all-star forward, and he lost trust in Timberwolves management and eventually asked to be traded toward the end of last season.

2014 Oklahoma City Thunder Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/2/2014

Windows open and shut all the time in the NBA—just ask the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavilers. One day you’re a contender and the next day you’re not. Last season the Oklahoma City Thunder suffered another premature, and disappointing, playoff exit that may have left the organization and its fans wondering if they will ever win an NBA title with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

2014 Boston Celtics Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/2/2014

The Boston Celtics are so far removed from their championship days with the “Big 3” that their last piece from the 2008 title team, Rajon Rondo, will probably be dealt before the end of the season and signal the organization’s first complete rebuild in six years. Coach Brad Stevens has begun to set the foundation for solid, fundamental basketball on both ends of the court, but his roster is still miles away from competing for its 18th NBA title.

2014 Philadelphia 76ers Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/1/2014

The Philadelphia 76ers have taken an interesting approach toward their rebuilding process over the last few years, which involves sitting players and allegedly openly losing in order to stockpile assets to either trade later or help build a contender in the future. Philadelphia grabbed Joel Embiid, the expected franchise-changing center, in this summer’s draft with the overall third pick because a foot injury that will sideline the former Kansas Jayhawk for the entire 2014-15 NBA season scared Cleveland and Milwaukee, the teams with the first two picks, respectively, away.

2014 New York Knicks Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/29/2014

The New York Knicks should be anticipating the upcoming season more than any other in recent memory. Phil Jackson will begin his first full year in charge of basketball operations, which will include molding a rookie coach with charisma and potential in Derek Fisher to go along with the comfort of knowing the team’s star player, Carmelo Anthony, is locked up to a long-term contract.

2014 Brooklyn Nets Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/25/2014

The Brooklyn Nets put together a roster with the biggest payroll in the entire NBA last season with the belief that adding veteran talent to an already-solid core of Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson would be the recipe the team needed to knock LeBron James and the Miami Heat off the throne for Eastern Conference supremacy. The organization was severely mistaken, however, as the Nets were only able win one game against the defending champions and looked overmatched and underprepared for long stretches of their playoff series.

2014 Toronto Raptors Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/24/2014

The Toronto Raptors may have been knocked out of the playoffs in the first round as a No. 3 seed, yet that experience will almost certainly help the team improve and become a legitimate Eastern Conference threat in 2014. Toronto put together a young and talented squad that produced a 48-34 record during the regular season, but it was simply overmatched by collective playoff experience of the Brooklyn Nets.

2014 Phoenix Suns Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/22/2014

The Phoenix Suns were supposed to be in the middle of a lengthy rebuilding process after losing Steve Nash two seasons ago, yet they emerged as the surprise team of the NBA in 2013. Phoenix nearly made the playoffs in a tough Western Conference and finished the year with a 48-34 record and one game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the eight seed.

2014 Los Angeles Lakers Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/19/2014

The Los Angeles Lakers have been sitting in unfamiliar territory over the last couple of seasons. The team is currently playing second fiddle to the Los Angeles Clippers and cannot seem to attract any big-name players on the free-agent market. The good news for the Lakers is that Kobe Bryant will be returning to the team fully recovered from last year’s knee injury.

2014 Sacramento Kings Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/19/2014

The Sacramento Kings have not made the playoffs for eight seasons, but it has not been for lack of trying. Kings ownership wants to win and has not been afraid to make roster moves since Vivek Ranadive bought the team from the Maloof family in 2013. The trouble for Sacramento is that management continues to make befuddling choices that seem to keep the squad tolling near the bottom of the Western Conference.

2014 Golden State Warriors Predictions and NBA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/17/2014

The Golden State Warriors made the biggest coaching move of the offseason by letting go of Mark Jackson, who had just led the team to a 51-win season, and hiring former Phoenix Suns general manger and TNT analyst Steve Kerr. Golden State also spent the summer deep in the Kevin Love trade saga and nearly sent its sharp-shooting guard Klay Thompson to Minnesota for the all-star center.
