It's been a long time (long time), I shouldn't have left you (left you) Without a strong rhyme to step to (step to). Think of how many weak shows you slept through. Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you.


Thanks to Eric B and Rakim for starting us off. Yes, it has been three weeks since our Orlando Magic NaP, but I can assure you I have a good reason for that somewhere in my French-laced breast pocket. While I search for that, I'll have my assistant dictate the rest of this NaP preview. Fair warning, he doesn't speak much in the way of English. Or any language for that matter.

Will, cordial greetings and luminance from happy town. My breakfast by Durant staunchly distributed for Pram Sesti. If I had Russell Westbrook in a tube sock, fortune 500 produce yarn for all the baskets. In keeping with Ridiculous Toasting, pre-eminent Byzantines tend to declare Russell's. - Thassistant.

Hit the jump for less cogent thoughts and a NaPparoo at 2 PM Eastern, ding-dongs.

I'll start doing this so you don't have to open up a new window to play "analyst" or "analrapist" if you're up for it.

Well, well, well. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey, friends. We've got some Sixers to preview.

If you are casual readers of the site, you know how Jordan, Derek, Tanner, and I feel about the team. If you're daily readers, you probably don't want to hear any of our opinions ever again. Have no fear regardless, for we've enlisted the help of a few distinguished brothers and sisters to NaP about our Sixers from a different perspective. Rohan of Hornets fame, Seth of Knickerbocker anonymity, and my threesome of Scott, Jon, and Fetch from the D-League contingent will provide their mediocre insightful analysis about what to expect from this Sixers team. I have a feeling Quin Snyder's name may pop up once or twice. 

I'll be doing the moderating and keeping my fingers mostly silent. I'm like Tim Russert with worse hair.

Hit the jump for the most anticipated event of the season at 7:00 Eastern.

Special Friday edition of a NaP! While we're still one team away from NaPping the Sixers, check out Jordan's SB Nation mainstream preview if you're lacking in Sixers offseason knowledge. I'll be coming out with my more....shall we say....colorful version within the next week or two.

Get your blanket and your SPF 30 ready because we're taking a NaP with the Sun(s). People will be there, I promise. Now get MVP like Steve Nash.

Start time: 2:00 PM EST

Happy Wednesday, cookies. We've got the Blazers today and Kevin Pritchard may or may not be joining us to discuss his former team and layeth the smack down on Rich Cho. Find out how many times we can reference Brandon Roy's similarities to Evan Turner's! Wait, this isn't Philly.com? My B. It's me, Jordan, Derek, Rohan, and Seth after the jig.

Remember: Participation counts for 50% of your final grade, and so far all of you are failing miserably. Your parent(s) or guardian will not be pleased.

Great news, friends - NBC just renewed us for a full season of the NaP Series!!!!! Being that we're not affiliated with NBC in any way, their approval was unnecessary, albeit flattering. So thanks to Jeff Zucker for that one.

In lighter news, we have some NaPping of our own to do, this time in the form of Beno Udrih's left bicep and Samuel Dalembert's new home remodeling. We got some people on the case. Participate! Starts at Noon Pacific.

L'Shana Tova, Chosen Ones. Today, some of the most handsomest bloggers in the world will be previewing the San Antonio Spurs in the only way we know possible: poorly. Enjoy our muddled thoughts and feel free to comment -- we've promoted each comment so far because we get excited that there's SOMEONE out there reading this. If you're scavenging for previews about the Wizards, Jazz, or Raptors. Click here. Any other team, you wait your turn, boy.

Some assortment of me, Tanner, Seth, Derek, Rohan, Scott, Jon, and Fetch will be with you this time around. No Jordan, as he's off polishing his relic "Solomon Alabi Sixers #8 draft pick" memorial plaque.

We'll open up at 2 PM Eastern. Post questions in the comments before if you have them. But I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't.

JUST ME AND SETH!

We're slowly getting the hang of these Not a Podcasts. Today at least two of the following panelists will be previewing the Raptors for 30 minutes:

Michael Levin

Jordan Sams

Tanner Steidel

Derek Bodner

Rohan - At The Hive

Jon L - Ridiculous Upside

Steve Fetch - Ridiculous Upside

Scott Schroeder - Ridiculous Upside

Seth Rosenthal - Posting and Toasting

Feel free to participate live, after the jump.
