And the season begins.
Shaquile arrives at Cleveland to gives his experience and his outstanding inside play. Things that let Le Bron to focus his effort on the perimeter. Shaq also can release the good three point shooters, like Mo Williams Dooby Gibson and Antony Parker. And of course Le Bron is the reighning MVP and the leader of the team.

Boston is one of the three megapowers of the East. Hopefully Kevin Garnet is back on track, without any concerns for his health. The big movement was the acquire of Rasheed Wallas, who get a new role on the Doc's rotation, coming from the bench. Rajon Rondo is better and better and captain Paul Pierce alongside to Ray Allen, all are ready for the 18th banner on Garden's ceiling.

Today the total of 187 points is too big. Both teams know that defense is the chapter #1 to dominate in the court.

The other games on schedule are very tricky. There are big favotites, but the 'dogs are capable for the victory.

Washington with Flip Saunders on the bench and agent 0 Gilbert Arenas healthy, is a playoff candidate and the -8 points, probably is too much.

Houston without the big stars Yao and T-Mac, is underestimate. The trade Ariza-Artest make them a little weak on outside score. But is the same team that threw out the Blazers in the first round last May and forced L.A. in 7th game on second round.
So the -9,5 points is big number and I'm going with the Rockets.

The Clippers is a bad joke, because coach Dunleavy. He has a huge number of great players, but he failed last season to make playoff. If there wasn't Sacramento, the Clippers they were the worst team of the league. It is pitty for Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman and the N#1 overall pick Blake Griffin, to have head coach the overaged Mike Dunleavy.
L.A.Lakers to win over 10 points.
