West Virginia-Louisville
Contra Costa Times
Louisville faced perennial powerhouses Kansas State and Miami and can’t be blamed that both programs are slightly off their game. Those wins over Kentucky, Temple and Middle Tennessee won’t help the Cardinals. West Virginia played a lousy nonconference schedule of Maryland, Marshall, Eastern Washington, East Carolina and Mississippi State, but it’s hard to overlook the talent of quarterback Patrick White and tailback Steve Slaton.West Virginia has the No. 1 rushing offense in the nation at 319 yards per game, and Slaton leads that attack with 151.3 yards per game. White rushes for 88.4 yards per game and averages 8.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Brian Brohm, who is over a thumb injury he suffered earlier this season against Miami, leads a Louisville offense that is second in the nation with 496.1 yards per game.

Spurs-Mavericks
The Spurs Tony Parker will be a game time decision but ultimately we believe he will play.
Nuggets-Clippers
Tuscaloosa Times
Despite a slew of injuries last season, the Denver Nuggets found a way to win their first division title in 19 seasons before being ousted - again - in the first round of the playoffs.
With a healthy lineup, the Nuggets open their season Thursday at Staples Center against the Los Angeles Clippers in a rematch of their Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Denver hit an immediate obstacle three minutes into last season, when forward-center Nene suffered a season-ending knee injury. Starting forward Kenyon Martin was limited to 56 games as he recovered from microfracture surgery on his left knee, and a hamstring injury to oft-injured center Marcus Camby also restricted him to 56 games. Nuggets coach George Karl patched together 21 different starting lineups.

The Nuggets run into the team that bulldozed them in the playoffs. The Clippers won three of their four games in the series by 11 or more points.
