Is it miserable or just fukkin realistic?
Nevermind the 10 year drought. This is a franchise whose career record is 809-1200. Not specifically you, but for a bunch of people on here that think this team's gonna lose anywhere from 50-60 games, I'm supposed to be the excited one?
Give me a reason to think anything other than "fukk THAT shyt" whenever that sentiment is directed my way. You can't, so until they stop giving me a reason to be miserable, I'll bee dat miserable nikka. I dare them to prove me wrong. They've got 4 years left to try. Godspeed.
We know its gonna be a 20-25 win season,you already know that going in...As a raptor fan ive seen that many times just enjoy whatever you can take out of it (Wiggins,Lavine) and hopefully an entertaining brand of basketball and hope for some improvements year to year...For me those bad seasons were softened by the fact ima basketball fan first,so i can enjoy watching other teams and players when my team stinks...

When you get told this shyt in some form EVERY fukkING YEAR, it loses all meaning. I can enjoy basketball (otherwise I need a new line of work). I can't be convinced to enjoy watching my team while they suck unless I thought it was heading towards a greater good (and while I hope that's true with this team, I've been sold that lie too many times to pretend that I wasn't 17 when my team last saw a playoff game. Without the drought, I would feel differently.

ESPN's first power rankings of the season just dropped
1
San Antonio
62-20
--
Last Week: 1The Spurs haven't merely failed to repeat after any of their five championships in the Tim Duncan era. They've only reached the conference finals once in their first four bids for back-to-back rings. Yet you'd also have to say that this is the best team San Antonio has ever had in the Duncan Era. So let's see.
2
Cleveland
33-49
--
Last Week: 2There will undoubtedly be ups and downs reminiscent of the Heatles' first season together. Yet the fact remains only Chicago, if Cleveland stays healthy, can keep LeBron and Co. out of the Finals. Among the many things he's about to learn about the NBA, David Blatt will soon find that life is good in the East.
3
Chicago
48-34
--
Last Week: 3Derrick Rose completed his Team USA summer unscathed, then not only made it through the preseason but even flashed a hint or two of his old brilliance. Those are two legit milestones, but now for the downside: Bulls fans might have been worrying about the wrong guy given Joakim Noah's slow recovery.
4
Los Angeles
57-25
--
Last Week: 4Dominique Wilkins earned nine All-Star selections without reaching the conference finals. Yao Ming did it eight times. And now Chris Paul, with seven All-Star nods and zero trips to the NBA's Final Four, is moving up on a list he surely hates being on. Let's see if CP3, with the help of Blake and Doc, can finally get off it.
5
Golden State
51-31
2
Last Week: 7The Steve Kerr Era is off to an undeniably promising start. He inherited a top-flight defense and already has the Dubs humming offensively with all that movement. Don't really want to overreact to gaudy preseason numbers, but it's hard not to buy into the optimism. Especially with a healthy Andrew Bogut back.
6
Dallas
49-33
--
Last Week: 6Feel more than safe in projecting the Mavs to return to the 50-Win Club after two uncharacteristic seasons in a row of missing out. Beyond that, though, I hesitate to go overboard about the West's winners of the offseason, Their preseason went well enough, too, but the conference just looks so dang deep. Again.
7
Portland
54-28
1
Last Week: 8There's a reason why you've heard so many reminders lately about how four Portland starters played 82 games last season. The implication is there's no way it can happen again. Which is why the Blazers, some pundits say, are at risk for a fall ... no matter how much praise LaMarcus Aldridge has been getting.
8
Memphis
50-32
3
Last Week: 11If the uncertainty about Marc Gasol's future does not prove to be a distraction, then Memphis might be the most underrated team in the league. Expectations are pretty modest considering that Gasol is in good health, while our own David Thorpe asserts that this roster has no less than 14 quality players.
9
Toronto
48-34
1
Last Week: 10Canadian basketball fans are understandably in mourning after Steve Nash's farewell season came to a sad halt before it really even started. So it's up to the Raptors to lift the gloom, but starting out as Atlantic Division favorites has to help. How many times have we said that in the Raps' two-decade existence?
10
Oklahoma City
59-23
5
Last Week: 5Preseason picks for ESPN The Magazine were due a couple days before Kevin Durant's foot injury surfaced. I had OKC winning the West if fully healthy. Now? After an injury-riddled October, I might still say the same if you could assure me KD will only miss a month. But who could possibly say that with certainty?
11
Washington
44-38
2
Last Week: 9Yup. Blame the committee (of one). We acknowledged at the end of September that we could already hear jittery Wiz fans we know cursing us for raising expectations and hiking them into the top 10 ... and Bradley Beal duly went down with a wrist injury. They're still my Southeastern Division favorites, though.
12
Houston
54-28
--
Last Week: 12It's still tantalizing to think about what sort of ceiling Houston might have had with Chris Bosh and a re-signed Chandler Parsons alongside Dwight Howard and James Harden. How much longer before we all move on and start re-focusing on what the Rockets still have as opposed to who didn't join them or left?
13
Charlotte
43-39
--
Last Week: 13Lance Stephenson would appear to be the first person in NBA history who can say he traded Larry Bird for Michael Jordan. OK, OK: It wasn't an actual trade, but you get the point. Can't wait to hear MJ tell us in his own words what sort of mentoring he plans to pass on to the reborn Hornets ... and Lance specifically.
14
Phoenix
48-34
--
Last Week: 14The good news: Phoenix has a real shot to inherit the Lakers' lottery pick in June -- protected only 1-through-5 thanks to the Steve Nash trade -- no matter what happens on the floor. The bad news: I can scarcely find a pundit outside of Phoenix who thinks the Suns can avoid slipping out of the West's top eight.
15
Atlanta
38-44
1
Last Week: 16Al Horford didn't look great in the preseason, but I'd submit that just seeing him on the floor was a serious lift for a franchise that certainly needed one after its tumultuous offseason. I'd go so far as to say I see Atlanta as a sleeper in the East. And here's the proof: Mike Budenholzer got my preseason COY nod.
