The seedings look solid, although I give the Cavs a few more wins.

Raptors and Wiz at least should have a few more wins than that IMO.

Thats more wins than i'm giving the Pacers, but for the most part looks decent. And i agree, Cavs will surpass 60 games no doubt.

Raptors and Hornets too high. Heat and Hawks too low.

I like the Hornets this year tbh, they were a "decent" team as was and adding lance makes them even more decent. Were a top 5 defense last year and getting a little better on offense this year

Id say 38 is a few too high, but I doubt theyll go to total shite. A 55 win team.. losing George and Stephenson should turn about 20 of those wins into losses, but I doubt theyll lose a shite ton more.. Then again their offense projects to be miseravle

I agree. Just think they are still a young team a year away from breaking through.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if they had a run like teh Wizards had last year if they end up with the right matchup in the postseason.

I don't care if I'm called a homer or not, the Pistons 33-49 forecast is a joke. SVG alone could improve the Pistons more than 4 games from last year.

I completely forgot the Bobcats are now the Hornets. I was so confused

You're putting a lot of faith into a newly formed team. Even Miami w/LBJ only surpassed 60 once during the reg season.

Will be a fun team to watch though.

I think ATL ends up top 4, and no one will even notice

I agree.

They were great last year when Horford was healthy.

3rd in the East when he went down I believe....I like what Danny Ferry is doing there along with Budenholzer's style, it's a pretty good roster considering they can't attract big free agents

Should have knocked out the Pacers last season but completely screwed the pooch in games 4 & 6

Doc took over for fricking Vinny Del Negro and only improved the Clips win total by a few games.

Shits hard to do in the NBA without the right personnel.

I do think y'all are going to be better though mainly because of Drummond and KCP improving.

I'm really interested to see how he handles Josh Smith if Monroe resigns. I can't see SVG playing him at the 3.

If Derrick Rose stays healthy I still think the Bulls end up with the 1 seed.

Still way too many question marks with the Cavs imo.
