1 November 2005The very definition of "faint praise"Salon's King Kaufman predicts the NBA season, and no surprise as to the identity of the dweller in the Southwest Division cellar:
If everything goes right for the Hornets this season, they'll be the best pro basketball team ever to play its home games in Oklahoma City.
I dunno. Could they beat the 1996-97 Oklahoma City Cavalry of the CBA, who actually won the league championship? We'll never know for sure. At this moment, a few hours before the season begins, I'm inclined to think that finishing 31-51 would qualify as a moral victory. (I'm expecting more like 25-57.) Posted at 1:01 PM to Net Proceeds |
