Many of us in the Newsday sports department have spent the past 30 hours trying to decipher the bizarre, sad, confusing story of Isiah Thomas. Good thing I finished the last item for our 12-page NBA preview section on Friday morning, a few hours before the story about the 911 call to Isiah's home broke.
Here's all the preview stuff you'll find in Sunday's paper -- my predictions, my column on LeBron's chances of playing for the Knicks, Alan's Knicks preview, his insightful story on Mike D'Antoni's offense. Enjoy.
You will see that my pick to win the NBA title is revealed: the Rockets. Hey, 7.7 percent of NBA general managers agree with me. If you don't, rip me. The comments section is always open. :)

A few weeks ago, i liked the Rockets to win it all also, but after hearing about T-Mac already having problems with his back, i don't think so anymore. I have to agree with the easy pick. I think the Lakers will win it this year. Boring, but that's the truth. Phil Jackson will make it work with Pau/Bynum in the frontcourt, he's just too good not to figure it out. Kobe's disgustingly good, and even though he's past 1000 games, he's got a few more years of Michael-esque turnarounds that could get him his 4th (and maybe 5th) ring.
