I think 1-4 are locks for the playoffs maybe not in that order
5-12. not sure. a lot of changes that we have to see play out
I think it will be a tight race for those spots

13-15 is hard to project. All three teams suck. Phoenix has some nice young talent. Not sure how I feel about Watson running the show. LAL can be 32 wins competitive.
Anybody else feel like the Clippers are trending down? I can see them finishing 6th if they have to grind out W's late in the season. CP3 seems to be doing the same thing year in and year out, same as he did in NOLA. It's the "stand around and wait for CP3 to create for us" offense that worries me. Crawford is old and hurts his team when he goes hero ball. Austin Rivers has shown he can be a capable PG, I just wouldn't bet on him. A healthy Blake Griffin wanting to show he's an MVP caliber player can change that though.
Also, I wouldn't sleep on MEM or MIN. I feel like MIN is a couple of pieces away, but hard nosed defense and a second year KAT can win 50 games.

I think the Blazers are being completely overrated. They overachieved last season and didn't really do much to improve this season.

Yeah Portland as a top 4 team seems ridiculous to me. I like Minny to potentially sneak into the playoffs should Westbrook not be able to single handedly carry OKC and if a few other teams (Pels, Dallas, potentially Utah) have some injuries. They're going to be a really good team the next few years.

You say overachieved I say they finally learned to play together after putting a new team together. Can only build on it IMO. Ezeli will be HUGE.

I agree with this. They can easily win 55-60 games again. ThebWest is catching up to them though IMO

I guess I'm just not sold yet on them.

I think the Mavs will surprise some people. Carlisle has been the 2nd best coach in the league for some time now. Dirk is old, but they should be able to figure it out.

can football start before ESPN pushes their partner down our throat?

I agree I have written them off the past few seasons and they just keep coming back and making the playoffs.

Right there with you. They took advantage of a horrible bottom of the WC last season. I hated their moves this offseason too.
Grizz could finish anywhere from 2nd to 10th given the injury history of the guys on the team and questions about the bench
Posted on 7/26/16 at 2:30 pm to PrimeTime Money
I'm surprised some of you guys think the Pelicans will make the playoffs. Even as a Pels fan, I don't see them making the playoffs, even if healthy.
