10.28.15 | Knicks jesus christ......going to be a looooooooong season |
treeqt.
10.28.15 | exciting for the first time in a while though because you got a couple actual players and a long term project in porzingis
same for the lakers, they'll be ass but they'll be interesting |
Wadlez
10.28.15 | Heat are being a tad overrated this preseason. Good rankings/reasoning though. Otto Porter should step it up in year 3 for the Wiz. |
Titan
10.28.15 | yes i agree treeqt, now we are only 6 players away |

10.28.15 | Heat are a bit high imo
Bucks are probably a bit low
other than that pretty agreeable |
treeqt.
10.28.15 | i'm definitely betting on the upside with the heat. they got a ton of guys that are on that edge between just enough for a legit run/washed up and done. the thing is i don't feel like anyone beneath them has any legitimate upside to bet on.
the bucks could easily get the 6th seed and maybe even the 5th but i feel like they're definitely a year or two away from being a top 4 team. playing giannis at the 5 is cute and all but that's just not gonna be a thing against real teams. need to see me some more jabari before really committing to them being a legit team. |

10.28.15 | oh knicks... |

10.28.15 | yeah monroe will start but they were talking all off season about giving giannis minutes at the 5 because the other option is miles plumlee |

nice list picks btw qt ;) |

10.28.15 | I think the Heat are just right, but I'm a fan so I'm pretty biased. And I would definitely put Golden State over Houston. |
Hawks
10.28.15 | I'm a Bulls fan, but I'd put the Bucks ahead of them too. Def think they're too low here. Agree with pretty much everything else. |

10.28.15 | STEPH CURRY WITH THE SHOT |
dathvada321
10.28.15 | I might even put San Antonio and OKC over Houston tbh |
basikchanL
10.28.15 | i think theyll do fairly well in the playoffs, but i dont see them seeding that high tbh.
i really like gerald green and dragic additions for this season though. but as far as bigmen go, i dont think stoudmire and bosh are going to cut it at the 4. whiteside is promising but there isnt much coming off the bench at the 5 spot. |
Sunnyvale
10.28.15 | Go Blazers! Probably gonna be a rough season, but it'll be interesting at least. |

10.28.15 | i wanna say it's impossible for the raptors to fuck up like they did last season but iunno man. going into this season with real apathy |
ComeToDaddy
10.28.15 | ought to ask Barkley what he thinks about 9 heh. I want to argue against that 1 pick because I can't stand Harden but god damn can that kid ball. Wizards and Bucks should do better in the east than where you've placed them imo, but fuck the eastern conference anyway |
ComeToDaddy
10.28.15 | Raptors have so much potential to be a good team but idk, watching them play is so disappointing most of the time |

I think the the Bucks are overrated. Not enough spacing. Also think the Pels are gonna disappoint (health reasons), Phoenix is gonna surprise, Utah is gonna disappoint (don't trust their backcourt, and teams will figure out how to score against that frontline), and Sacramento won't combust but just will put up a middling product (~35 wins). Indy and Detroit are on the outside looking in the East, though the Knicks will convince themselves they have a chance anyways.
Sixers will be the worst team thru the trading deadline, but they'll shop Gallo or Chandler to tank harder for Simmons and end up sneaking into the #1 seed for the lottery. |
treeqt.
10.28.15 | Honestly, I think the fight for those bottom few playoff spots in both conferences will be the most interesting part of the regular season. |
Keyblade
10.28.15 | like most seasons really
in the east it's like all the teams except like 2 are in with a fighting chance lmao |
toxin.
10.28.15 | Maybe. The most compelling line to me is "common sense vs. computers: how many games will the Celtics win?"
I don't see more than 45, which is generous, but most predictive models are guessing 49 at the least into 52-54. |
treeqt.
11.03.15 | yeah about that rockets prediction |

11.03.15 | idk you just look at their roster and see 5 all stars and a ROTY and a 6MOTY and yeah lebron is finished btw |
L4titudes
11.03.15 | How is he finished? He is 30 years old and has the best leadership skills in the league |
L4titudes
11.03.15 | Not to mention is in great shape and has a better surrounding cast than ever. I just don't understand your logic. |
treeqt.
11.03.15 | his back is kill and half his team is dead so you're wrong on all accounts |
L4titudes
11.04.15 | His back looked completely fine when he was throwing down oops and tomahawk jams last night. Are you just basing your knowledge on the media trying to keep the sport interesting? Cause that's all it is. "Half his team is dead".. not sure what that means either. Kevin Love is playing like he did on the T-Wolves plus he is a force on defense now. Varejao is playing a great role and being very efficient. Kyrie is going to come back as one of the youngest players on the team with a lot to prove. Shump will be back and doesn't fill a stat sheet but makes a hell of a difference defensively in a defense that is already one of the leagues best. JR Smith may not be consistent but he will give you a huge spark when it matters. Delly is proving to be a good role player who give's his all every night instead of the fluke that everyone thought he was. Mo Williams brings leadership and smart play.. knows when to attack and when to facilitate. Richard Jefferson shoots the 3 ball over 40 percent and can still attack the basket at his veteran age. Should I go on? I think I could. |

"battle of the 2 worst teams in the nba who probably won't even keep their picks anyways"
i love being a lakers fan :/
someone kill me. or byron |
treeqt.
11.05.15 | byron is our best shot at retaining the pick i guess |
Keyblade
11.06.15 | beautiful win for the raptors, franchise record 5-0 start let's get it |
treeqt.
11.06.15 | dont the raptors do this every year
im pretty sure they do this every year |
Keyblade
11.06.15 | it was only last year, but yeah im being cautious, 5-0 doesnt mean shit. i know we gon get sweeped by the magic or some shit in round 1
difference is we look like we got some resolve and fighting spirit about us this season. still early doors tho |
manosg
11.06.15 | At least Valanciunas is being used more and you've got a very good defensive big this year in Biyombo. Also, DeMarre and Joseph are really good additions defensively which is where your team lacked last year.
It's still very early but I don't see a first round exit this year. Plus, Paul Pierce is in the West now so no worries. |
SirDrumsalot
11.06.15 | Errbody watch out for my Jazz! #1 defense 5 games in! Start the championship celebrations now son!!!
Jk guys...jk. I'm not that delusional.
But we are going to the playoffs this year! Unless more injuries. |
