The NBA season begins tonight and although I am in no way an expert on basketball, you should check it out. A handful of games are on tap, but none bigger than the Celtics visiting Cleveland to start the season. The C's added Rasheed Wallace in the off-season, a move that gives them depth on the bench and an added veteran presence as they make another run at a title. The Cavs, along with the Magic, figure to be their biggest contenders if they can stay healthy. That's a big if. Glen "Big Baby" Davis is already injured, breaking his thumb in a fight with his friend. He is scheduled to be out 6-8 weeks and his presence will certainly be missed when the Celtics try and stop Shaq tonight.
As far as the season is concerned, I think you can expect the Celtics to win at least 60 games as they have done the past two seasons. If Garnett's knee holds up and the big three dominate like they're capable of doing, another championship is certainly a feasible task.
