This article is also posted at hoops4life.com, an NBA fan site. The NBA slogan is "Where…happens." "Where impossible happens." "Where comebacks happen." "Where excellence happens." These words express perfectly what a NBA Season represents, and especially if we are talking about the 2007-2008 Season which was one of the greatest ever. As said, these words are used during the Season, but there is another one which defines what the off-Season is. For many teams, the off-Season is "Where illusion happens." Despite of many different factors, each year a group of teams are able to build some momentum during the summer. A good ending of the previous Season, a huge move, or something like this let us to point a bunch of teams before the Season opener. Many times, the grind of the Season knocks down the expectations, nevertheless, other few times, the team achieve his goal. In this article, you will find which teams are coming of the edge in ’08-‘09 and why. 1. Portland Trail Blazers (Last Season record: 41-41; West 10th) I have followed the NBA since I was about 10-years-old, and I have never seen all this expectation around a non-Playoff team. The expectations are high, but the youth and the talent of this team match them. Greg Oden, former first overall pick of 2007 NBA Draft joins Lamarcus Aldridge and all star Brandon Roy. These players are called to form one of the best "big threes" of the upcoming seasons. Aldridge and Oden had a ...

Written by J.E. Skeets No, Boston will falter a bit because the core is a year older, the bench doesn't have many new faces, and the improvement of the team's young core (Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis; three great-to-solid young players who are going to make another jump this Season) won't be enough...
