I think we can all agree that the last bit of a really long wait is the hardest of all. Whether you are waiting for a hot date, a movie premiere, or the start of the NBA season, that sense of anticipation, of being so close to what you want, but not quite there, is a real killer. Understanding this, I have savvily (look it up ... what do you mean it's not a real word? Get on it Merriam and Webster!) left a couple of divisions worth of team previews for you to idly entertain yourselves with as the final seconds of our basketball hiatus tick away. *
*Or maybe I'm just negligent and lazy.
So, without further ado, via Jeff Clark and CelticsBlog's annual promotion, I bring you team previews for the Southeast and Southwest divisions. Enjoy!
