Which teams will make the playoffs? Which teams will win their conferences and make it to the NBA Finals? WFAN co-host Evan Roberts has you covered in his 2013-14 NBA preview.
Deron Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night.
I'm begging the Nets to make sure this issue is fixed this time before putting Williams out on the floor. And a little honesty wouldn't hurt, either.
Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass scored 16 points apiece and Vitor Faverani added 15 points and seven rebounds as the Boston Celtics closed out the preseason with a 101-97 victory over the short-handed Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
The change will take effect with this season's finals after it was approved during the preseason board of governors meetings.
"The potential is definitely there for us to be one of those teams that can be talked about in NBA history," Pierce said. "But it's up to us to go out there and show it, be healthy and make a great run."
"Tell LeBron to worry about Miami," Garnett said when asked about James' comments. "He has nothing to do with Celtic business."
As for Kidd's Nets, the culture change is a work in progress. The talent is oozing from every corner of the roster, but team chemistry often doesn't sync overnight, especially with so many new components.

Yormark joined Boomer & Craig this morning to talk about the decision to retire Kidd's number before a preseason game, what player needed to remain in order for Kevin Garnett to accept a trade and the organization's overall outlook on the 2013-14 season...
No one is going to confuse Nets shooting guard Joe Johnson with Nostradamus any time soon. But that doesn't mean he's stopped speaking his peace.
The mascot ran from one end of the court to the other, jumped off the trampoline and proceeded to lose control of the ball while in midair.
Paul Pierce made just one basket in his first game against his former team, but grabbed 10 rebounds and added five assists to help the Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics 82-80 on Tuesday night.
