Hard to say. Who's gonna step up for the Thunder?

Will Donovan be a real coach now, now that he's not Westbrick's personal cuck?

I won't believe it 'til I see it at the betting machine. I couldn't see less than 44.5 by that time, tbh.

If CP3 plays and doesn't pout like a bitch or get injured, then I think they are a 30-33 team. CP3, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Adams, Shroeder, and Gallinari is better than 28 wins imo.

:lol I forgot about CP0. Yea, he's a regular season champ; I like the over 28 if he has just enough support.

Should be pounding the over on the Spurs. I feel they win 45 worst case scenario

[Pelicans78]

Spurs at best will be one and done. That ain’t changing. A team solely composed of role players.

No.

They probably miss the playoffs. Chapped Pussy 3 will likely injure his vag about 1 week into the RS and be out until about 1 week left then he magically returns and goes on the block.

toronto is going to be the under easy, they're the defending champs, their team is ass, and their coach is overrated.

46 wins in the east isn't that hard of a target. But I think it could depend on depth. They won the championship last season with a remarkably low amount of depth. I don't think they'll get away with that as much going forward.

Too much up and coming youth with a good mix of vets for me to believe that's a surety, tbh.

Remember, the Celtics, Pacers, Bucks, and 76ers are all better teams than the Raps. I could see both the Hawks and Bulls going splitting those series. I know this is an optimistic prediction but both of these teams have a lot of young, upcoming talent. The West is tough. You got the 8 playoff teams and the Suns, Mavericks, and Kings are all significantly better. I think 46 wins for the Raptors is a bit high, I'd go with 42-44 - lost a lot of minutes and production with Danny Green and Kawhi. Ibaka, Gasol, and Lowry all a year older.

Suns should still be garbage. Mavs and Kings are teams I would expect to have a shot at pushing back the Warriors; though, both teams have recent histories of being underwhelming.

Top four are Clips, Jazz, Rockets, Lakers. Jazz could be a surprise top team. And the Spurs have a lot of good young upcoming talent if they should happen to bloom early, then they have a chance at being in that mix. Even most of ST is sleeping on them, I think.
