jazz to high
port, mem, okc should be higher man
They've been on an upward trajectory. And they added key vets like Joe Johnson, George Hill and Boris Diaw. This will only help Gordon Hayward to level up, this season. And Gobert is a good anchor on defense. And they have decent young wings. I got them short of being real contenders; but I don't think 48-50 wins is out of the question.
Jazz overrated again 45 wins max ...42 most likely
Last year it was Nola...
Year before the Suns
Upward trajectory teams thay didnt do when it came time to take the leap
THOSE players lmao aint doing in the west, as for haywire he also aint doing , this is the clown that avgs 4ppg h2h against kawhi...
Bottom third of the league way too many wins, playoff teams way too few. I.e., too much parity from top to bottom. Bad predictions. And Utah isn't going to be the #3 seed.
Spurs win at least 60 imo
Clips will be the 3 seed. Jazz will be 4-6.
yup. That prediction is gay
Spurs 56 wins. The spread will be too great, Pop won't push for 60 wins with old Manu, old Pau and fat Tony.
I'd count on our youngsters to play better than those dudes TBH (except Pau and it would probably be good for the Spurs if that happens).
We won a fair amount of games last season without that group and the team's dramatic point differential was due to our deep youngster filled bench who is growing up.
Unless the Warriors have some key injuries I don't see the Spurs pushing that hard to win more than 55 games. We'll want 2nd seed, but if we can sew that up early on, we won't try to catch the Warriors.
We will win 60+ book it
F*ck it; go for the four seed and take on the Dubs in the semis. They can talk sh** all they want; I know they're scared at the end of the day.
This reminds me of last season when all the hand wringing was over how we are going to beat the Warriors in the playoffs. We never got there. Don't get ahead of yourselves.
Yea, I am not getting ahead of myself or anything. It's just to me, the youngsters have a lot more potential at this point than this version of Tony and Manu and might start to show it soon (even if for some it's just flashes, but they are really nice: Dijon, Bertans, KA, Simmons, Dedmon, etc). I expect the team to do better than you think when Tony and Manu don't play in all honestly, maybe better than when they do play.
Manu might show flashes. Tony is done. He's going to ride out his years with that scowl and air of en lement as he becomes Pop's next Matty.
PGs don't have the luxury of hiding their deficiencies like bigs against these lightning fast guards. I could see Tony hitting a wall in two years and walking away.
Tony will have ty outings and Pop will stick with him regardless. It will cause some dissent but not publicly (makes me pretty safe saying so in that case). Tony will be frustrated by his inability to get to the rim, he will freeze out the strength of the team when he's on the court. Tim is no longer playing, so Tony isn't accustomed to sharing with anyone else. He's not going to adapt well, he never changed his game to adapt to his loss of quickness. His ego makes him believe he's the heart and soul of the team, the superstar. He doesn't pass the torch willingly, or the ball.
Lakrs projected to be the worst team in the league after their glorious "rebuild"
Kobe: 5Lak
the tired old bag Duncan: 2nd 5th
