Last Second NBA Preview

The Howeva Files website was created at what some would call "The 11th hour" of the NBA offseason, leaving precious little time for us to preview what we think will happen this year.

Still, we have a responsibility to you, our loyal readers, to pick what we think will happen to the NBA teams this upcoming season...even if it's thrown together at the last second and would probably get a D- as a grade in school.

After the season is over, we will see who was more correct in their picks and the winner will win a brand new car. And by car, we mean maybe a lunch at a shitty diner or something. Feel free to use these picks as a guide to gamble away your family's life savings by the way.
