Doc is on the hot seat. He's not part of the front office anymore and they're keeping a close eye on him finally. This will be interesting to see no doubt but if Austin is getting starts and minutes over the better players of Milos and Beverly, then Doc is out

Y'all really be dragging it. Austin is an NBA player, and was solid last year. Lot of mothafukkas worse than him out there.

Who is Milos guarding?

Even if you hide him he's going to be a negative on defense and there's some strong backcourts out there, where you can't hide him. He's a perfect change of pace guard to me off the bench.
Lineup seem more balanced to me with Austin starting at the 2.
I can't help but feel that if Milos was 20 instead of 30 with the same talent/skill-level Doc wouldn't play him 
Im rollin with Buzz City of course...
But my surprise team this year is the NETS.
I dont know, its like a mixture of some young talent and all the NETS hats i own for no particular reason other than i kinda like the logo thats gonna push them to be pretty good.0

Not going to happen. To many owners stand to lose to much money

It's 43.5 or 44 depending on your book
I'd lean to the over but like @Malta said it's highly dependent on injury luck
It probably should still get there
I'm still going through over/unders to look for opportunities. The only win total bet I've placed thus far is Oklahoma City Over 50.5 games which is up to 53.5.
I'm thinking about taking Charlotte Hornets over 42.5 wins. In a weak east that's doable and my numbers say they should exceed that but I'm concerned about their depth at PG (should Kemba get hurt) and the fact that Dwight just might get more minutes than Zeller (who they went 3-17 without last year)
Philadelphia 76ers under 41 seemed like a solid opportunity that I missed out on early. I see it at 40 and 38.5 at some spots.

I'm inclined to agree but I think it's a tough line with the east being so bad.
I feel like the loss of Pat Pat will hurt and I'm still not sure how I feel about the SF position. Wassup with OG? Is he any good? I also feel like this has to be the year Lowry takes a step back with him turning 31 in March but he looked solid in the first preseason game. Seems like this will be a team that can score but struggle to defend.
Still there's a side of me that thinks that the Raps just might be good enough to get to 49-50 wins in the East. I won't be surprised if Toronto catches both Cleveland and Boston slipping during a game or two given the roster turnover on both squads. I'm just not in love with it. If I were to fade the Raptors I'd rather do it in the season as they'll still be favorite in many games.
If I'm betting a win total I'd like to feel like I have a solid edge and I don't see one on the Raptors over/under of 48.5
I bet the Rockets win total over 41 last year and they had 40 wins at the all star break. Otherwise it makes sense to just bet my opinion during the season. The Market seems pretty sharp on these most years.
