Another one of the guest-crew who sometimes either help out or write their own stuff is '46' (who actually resides in Japan as well).  This is his take on how the NBA looks at the moment... with a "New Year's" bent on it...
Rankings done in conference, with each team's resolution for 2010 following!

Eastern Converence

1. Boston - To go through the rest of the season with no further injuries...
2. Cleveland - To win the Championship this season, or Lebron is GOOOOONEEE!
3. Orlando - To have a healthy roster for at least 1 game and rediscover the form that took them to the Finals last year.
4. Atlanta - To play like we did at the start of the season.  Please.  At least once more.
5. Miami - To find a way to clone D-Wade.  Or even keep him.
6. Toronto - No more giving massively long, multi-million dollar contracts to role players.  Well... at least until <insert suitable role player's name> becomes available.
7. Charlotte - To still be in the playoff hunt come April.
8. Milwaukee - To have Brandon Jennings stop shooting it so much.
9. Chicago - To get a new coach.  And maybe Dwyane in the off season.
10. New York - To hurry up and get this year over with so we can worry about getting LeBron.
11. Detroit - To win a meaningful game sometime this season.
12. Washington - To change our team name back to the Washington Bullets. Or Having our players know the true meaning of morning shootaround. OR More running, less gunning.  Or find a new shooting guard.  Or... (really there could be a tonne for this).
13. Indiana - This season to be over... or maybe let's get another white guy?
14. Philadelphia - To get rid of Elton Brand's contract.
15. New Jersey - To be better than the T-Wolves.

Western Conference

1. LA Lakers - Kobe's finger to heal up ASAP.  Pau's hamstrings to strengthen.
2. Dallas - To find out who called us over-the-hill and past-our-prime.
3. Denver - To play like we actually want to be an elite team... at least on a relatively consistent basis.
4. Phoenix - Whatever we are feeding Steve Nash, give it to the rest of the team.
5. San Antonio - To make the team watch Lethal Weapon daily, just to remind everyone how Tim Duncan feels.
6. Portland - Gee, I don't know, maybe go a week without a key player getting injured.
7. Houston - To get something for T-Mac, anything!
8. Oklahoma City - Continue to fly under the radar and maybe get Kev to eat something, anything.
9. Utah - To get rid of Carlos　Boozer for something substanial.
10. New Orleans - To get players, you know... "Basketball players".
11. Memphis - To continue playing like we have been. Seriously now, what the hell is going on in Memphis?  They rock!
12. LA Clippers - To have Blake Griffin be as good as we hope.  Even 75% of that will make LAC a damn good team.
13. Sacramento - To actually win a close game.
14. Golden State - Study up on that strange thing called "Defense".
15. Minnesota - To change the Triangle offense to the MIA offense.
