I would actually say Spurs, Golden State, a healthy Thunder, and maybe the Clippers.
5 or 6 is a push, but the Cavs arent the 2nd best team in the NBA.

Until Lebron is no longer in his prime I think it's nearly impossible to say that. He came whitin 2 games of a title with castoffs and the teams 2nd and 3rd best player out

This is a CRAZY statement.
I love Towns game but to put up those numbers up at 19? NO WAY

to be fair there is a huge age difference in regards to rookie years i seriously doubt he can average those numbersDuncan averaged 21/12 with 2.5 blocks per game and was All-NBA 1st team his rookie year. And the Spurs won 56 games on top of that. You really think Towns could have a better rookie year than he did?
If you want to talk about rookie bigs since then: Elton Brand also put up 20/10, Pau averaged 18/9 with over 2 blocks a game, Griffin averaged 23/12. Anthony Davis was also very good as a rookie, he averaged 14/8 and nearly 2 blocks a game while playing less than 30 minutes. Per 36 he was averaging 17/10 with 2.2 blocks a game.
This is a CRAZY statement.

and to add to this...he looked nice but its 1 pre season game...
I'm aware there's an age difference, but regardless that's what those guys did as rookies

Duncan's numbers will be hard as hell to reach, but far from impossible. Towns is a fukkin man breh's, I have seen much more than just the 1 pre season game and dude has been a man amongst boys since high school. So far, he has been that at every level he has played at and it looked the same last night.
Maybe not topping Duncan, but he can at least get close to all the other rookie bigs u mentioned. Especially with how wet his jumper is and how strong he is in the post. I can't wait to watch dude this season
Where'd he say this?
Thing is, they only have to beat one of those top five teams since they're the only contender in the east at the moment.

he said it on MIke and Mike this AM.
And yeah, the second point is why the Cavs are favored to win the NBA title.
Spurs and the Clippers nah.
I gotta see how the Thunder look under Donovan. And the Warriors aren't as a team that much better than a healthy Cavs team.

I don't see The Warriors beasting like they did last year. They're gonna regress just a notch. It's hard to sustain that level of play year in and year out.
Yeah. You got injuries, dudes gettin fat and sassy, or just other teams catching up. It takes a lot of effort and luck to put together a season like that back to back. Even those old school C's and Lakers teams couldn't do it. The older I get, the more amazed I am at the Bulls following up a 72 win season with a 69 win season (and they lost their last 2 games). It was a watered down league due to expansion, but still that is insane.
