This is My NBA Preview

The NBA starts tomorrow.

Could there be a boring-er opening week for the Association?

Could there be a boring-er opening week for any sports league in the world? (Actually, yes. It's called Major League Soccer and the NHL).

Somehow, after one of the best NBA Finals in recent history, this opening week has lost it's pizzaz. It's so ho-hum. This is also after the USA men's basketball team brought home international gold for the first time since 2000.

Maybe it's the midweek start. Maybe it's the fact that so many other things are going on (and not just in the world of sport). Maybe it's because nothing huge happened in this offseason.

My top 5 questions for this year:

1) Will Chris Paul take the Hornets to heights never seen in New Orleans?
2) Can Andrew Bynum an Pau Gasol work together?
3) Is Philly really a contender in the East?
4) Will Jerry Sloan finally be named Coach of the Year as he leads his Jazz to the Western Conference Finals?
5) Will Kobe Bryant still be a (really good) bitch?
