Here are the Northwest Division Previews, per the excellent blogger series of previews managed by CelticsBlog. (note: shorthand like "Frisco" for San Francisco and "'Sota" for Minnesota aren't my favorite thing, just so you know that the use of 'Sota wasn't my idea. )

How will Big Al fit in out in Utah?  Will the Blazers stay healthy?  Will Melo still be a Nugget on opening night?  Can the Thunder avoid a sophomore slump?  Just what is the plan in 'Sota?  All this and more in the Northwest previews.
