Orlando will be lucky to hit 30 wins this year, stop the madness

Depends on their young players. They have a shot, I wouldn't consider them a favorite or anything like that but it depends on the improvements of Oladipo, Payton & Gordon

Breh ORL isn't even close to being a playoff team and on what planet do the Knicks compete for a playoff spot? Did you see them last yr?

ATL
CLE
CHI
WAS
BOS
MIL
MIA
TOR

are ALL much better than ORL or the Knicks. ORL will be better than NYK but they're both lottery level teams
I like Brad Stevens but I don't see Boston getting in this year.

They got in last year as a 7 seed and got better this offseason, they're a lock to make it and they're easily better than ORL
New season, anything can happen. The Nets got in as an 8th seed. :heh:

baby, that was the old me
This should be the season Cousins puts it all together. Cutting down on those silly offensive fouls, consistent defensive effort. Wouldn't be surprised if Darren Collison wound up starting over Rondo around midseason. He's the better player of the two

Even with Ibaka on the floor next to Kanter OKC's defense was awful, legit concern that'll get them beat against the likes of SAS & GSW if not rectified. I hope Kanter didn't get that type of extension just to be a 6th man

This is the year I predict Anthony Davis takes over as the best player in the game, and the Pelicans can get up to the 5th seed if Jrue Holiday stays healthy for a change along with the other support players

Bucks will be better with Vasquez on the floor than MCW who's one of the worst offensive starters in the league, wonder how long until he gets benched and they regret that trade. Not that high on them as compared to others, same with Miami

Tony Parker was horrific in FIBA play this year shooting like 27% from the field, wonder if this is the end for him as a star in this league. If so Patty Mills could prove to be more effective for the Spurs

Rudy Gobert for DPOY, Brad Stevens COY, Emmanuel Mudiay ROY, Clippers best offense, Warriors best defense, idk about MVP/Champion yet

Nikka said collision better than rondo

Sit your smart dumb 2015 NBA fan ass down

Orlando has a better roster than Boston, but Boston has a winning culture and formula that works for them that will probably keep them a perennial mid-level east team. The guys in Orlando don't know how to win, because of their coaching. Orlando should win more games, but usually teams like Orlando find ways to lose games regardless

Surprised Kieff patched things up with the Suns. It was getting ugly a few weeks ago.

They really didn't get better

and they only got into the playoffs last year because of injuries to every other team on the back end made late-season tanking a thing.

Boston isn't stopping anyone inside consistently and their perimeter game is just as suss as last year too. Stevens is a damned good coach but they overachieved.
