Now, we continue with the Fifty Peso Previews, again with the help of hitmaker Toto Sorioso, whose single, "Gupit" will surely make you a fan.
Major Additions: Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer
Major Subtractions: None
The Bulls front office has indeed stepped up. Bringing in a new coach (that can actually coach), and a batch of talented free agents, they have given the team all the tools they need to go deep into the playoffs. While Boozer's freak hand injury will slow things down, look for the Bulls to finally become serious contenders for the playoffs for the first time since some guy named Jordan was leading them. Expect the Bulls to play great Tom Thibodeau defense and execute better offensively.
Fearless Forecast: Conference Semi-finals
Toto's Theme Song: I Got a Feeling (Black Eyed Peas)
Major Additions: Ramon Sessions
Major Subtractions: Lebron James, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Shaquille O"Neal
Aside from losing and then later on dissing Lebron James, owner Dan Gilbert has not done much. Signing Ramon Sessions might add another scorer to the team, but it won't help the situation any. The Cavs are an incomplete team devoid of a go-to-guy and this first, post-Lebron year will be a tough pill to swallow, especially for Cavs fans who were betrayed.
Fearless Forecast: Eliminated in the regular season
Toto's Theme Song: Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers)
Major Additions: None
Major Subtractions: None
Pistons' GM Joe Dumars showed his hand early, not waiting on 2010 to make free agent signings, but it was all a dud as last year the Pistons barely won more than 20 games. Some blame Dumars' decision on free agent signings, while some chalk it up to the Pistons' incredible long list of injuries. This year, there will be no more escape for Dumars as it's judgment year. Will the line up he created live up to his plans or will the Pistons go bust again?

Indiana Pacers
Major Subtractions: Troy Murphy
The Pacers have pretty much fixed the attitude problems hounding their team, with only Lance Stephenson encountering some trouble with the law. The problem is their nice guy line up may not have an identity yet. The team has some good pieces in Collison, Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy, but they need to establish the identities of both their offensive and defensive games first before they have a chance at playoff glory.
Fearless Forecast: Eliminated in the regular season
Toto's Theme Song: Patience (Guns N Roses)
Milwaukee Bucks
Major Additions: Corey Maggette, Chris Douglas-Roberts
Major Subtractions: None
Last year, the Bucks surprised everyone when they played tremendously, going into the playoffs despite losing Michael Redd and later on Andrew Bogut. Now, the expectations are high and surprising people will no longer be as easy. Adding firepower with Maggette and Douglas-Roberts protects the Bucks from injury to the swingman positions (already Redd and Salmons are in the injured list), but the front court remains thin. Bogut needs to be completely healthy throughout the season for the Bucks to have a chance to go deeper into the playoffs.
Fearless Forecast: Eliminated in the first round of playoffs.
