76ers have legit outside shot at playoffs if embiid is healthy all year he's gonna have a Shaq like impact....if he's healthy.if you have not watched him yet do so right now. David robinson with more range and bigger, one inch taller and an 80% ft shooter. Has legit 3 point range. At 7'2 260. Right now prob 2nd best center behind cousins and hes much more athletic.


Minny looks like shite i love dunn but man he cant shoot


Ingram stroke is butter dlo is kinda overrated. Ingram needs to work on handles big time but hes a money spot up shooter already


The jazz. Thats good team and exum looks legit


The bucks look so much better.


Warriors dont look as good as i thought they would honrstly. They have not figured it out yeton defensw. Klayis gonna led them in scoring this year. His shots dont even hit rim anymore


The pelicans


Bulls on the DL tank. They might break 100 5 times this year


Denver is going to easily make the playoffs.

As much as I think their coverage is secondary to Turner, ESPN's ads for next week has been money

I don't know if it will end up mattering, but GS has to have the weakest frontcourt in the league. Green is very undersized and I'm guessing Durant will play a ton of minutes at PF, where he'll get hit/bumped alot. Teams like the Clippers and Spurs will have huge advantages upfront. Just have to force their style on the Warriors, which is alot easier said than done..

Pump the brakes B , Embiid will be great but this is a still a team that won't win 30 games.

should be around .500, interesting team to watch

yep 5 seed IMO. probably 1st round playoff loser this season

30 win team depending no how soon holiday comes back. When you don't know who your second best player is between solomon hill and etwaun moore, well safe to say you are one of the least talented teams in the league.

I'm HIGH on Denver but making the playoffs will be VERY tough.

1. GSW
2. LAC
3. SAS
4. HOU
5. UTA
6. POR
7. OKC
8. MEM
9. DAL
10. MIN
11. DEN
12. NOP
13. PHX
14. LAL

Dallas is a sleeper in my opinion. Making a commitment to size down low. Obv health is issue as with any team. Zaza had great year last year and they added bogut.

Health is more an issue with Dallas than with any other team. Bogut and Williams are always hurt. Dirk is another year older. Can Matthews regain his old form or will he shoot like he did last season. Barnes is no good IMO. Not much on the bench either.

There are so many good story lines this year:

LBJ for the repeat
KD being a pussy in GS
D Rose in NY
D Wade and Rondo in CHI
Russell gonna be an animal on his own
KD being a pussy


But I think the storyline I most anticipate is:

THE RETURN OF BOOM, WHERE ARE YOU SWEET PRINCE

edit: ^^^^ there he is

This is all true. And I'm not sure there bench will be as good as last year. The key for the Warriors will be to get up big early, which they shouldn't have a problem doing. If they don't win the championship this year that whole organization should just kill themselves.

I don't think I've ever felt so strongly that the regular season is just a formality this year.

KD & Steph V Lebron in the finals.


I happen to love the game. a thing of beauty.

enjoy each game. don't worry about the NBA finals. As we saw with Green and the big Aussie Bogut, who was out in more than just that couple of games in the finals (like two years before when the W's lost two in OT to San Antonio, losing 4 game to 2 without Bogut) , if a key player is injured or suspended, all bets are off.

Can't wait. Not really sure what to expect from the Hawks. Howard had been picking up a ton of fouls by trying to play defense like Horford. Going to have to make an adjustment there. Also haven't seen Howard and Millsap on the court at the same time either. That should happen tonight. Schroder and Howard have been running the PnR well so far. Looks like we'll see how this works soon.
