The season draws ever closer, and Hoops w/ JVZ will have you covered from now until the nets are cut down in Detroit next April!
My final season preview episode will be Tuesday, with looks at Player of the Year candidates from all the major conferences, and predictions on which teams I think will win their leagues.
