Without Ariza & Mbah he's certaintly your starting p.f in Houston, gluck with that.

If it keeps going like that, Jazz will be facing the Warriors in conference finals

Lakers still need a move because this team can't pass Gobert right now
Houston is losing 2 of their 3 best role players against Jazz
Minnesota is drama
Pelicans are worse
Blazers aren't that good
Spurs are donezo
OKC can't pass Gobert

Houston>Pelicans>OKC>Lakers>Minny>Utah

I don't see how you can possibly have OKC/NOP/MIN over Utah at this point unless Rudy misses significant time.

I think as constructed:

1) GSW

2/3)Utah/HOU in any order

4) DEN
5) OKC
6) LAL
7) MIN
8) NOP
9) POR
10) SAS as constructed, they could move all the way up w/Kawhi

I think New Orleans will compete for a home court series

Pel's seemingly have the most upside other than SAS, I just think they ran like the sun in close games last year and will likely regress.

Seadood's list is how I see it except I'd switch MIN and NO.

you can definitely have OKC over UTAH if you project them to look similar to how they did last year with Robs healthy and Melo off the floor. they'll be hopeless in the playoffs for obv reasons

BONES

Yea I'll have action on Utah over pelicans minny and okc. Melo departure huge boost for okc so not as confident in that one as the other two

Pelicans have 3 all stars, the most improved player of the year, and the sixth man of the year all on the roster. They're going to be the 2 seed.

Lol what? God no. NO is a dog to make the playoffz

3 all-stars? Mirotic is an all-star now? I think there is a chance they just get 1.

Pelicans did some addition by subtraction.

Is Mirotic even better than Bobby Portis going forward?

LAL + Lebron is no worse than 3. No chance Den, Utah, OKC beats LAL. Houston is way worse this year, LA Bron is probably 2, ffs. Are you guys smoking crack? Can you get me some? Have you heard of Lebron James, he's more valuable than the top 2-15 players on any team other than GSW. Denver, OKC, Utah all Lose to 2018 Cavs, so how are 2019 Lakers worse, his supporting cast is way better. Enjoy the delusion now, LAL in WCF. Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert,Playoff Paul and Russ, are you kidding me? These guys don't ever beat Lebron in a series playing for the Sparks.

You are delusional

I've watched the ads for the WNBA and more women in the workplace in the summer league - and I've read CPHoyaids's posts.



I have a beautiful dream that Jeannie Buss transfers Lebron to the Sparks ... no wait .. that Jeannie Buss cuts all of LA's players apart from Lebron and signs the Sparks entire squad (not sure about the cap tbqh .. let's imagine they all get max{ the NBA league min, current deal } ) to the Lakers



and then, because LaBron, ldo, that team dominates the West and 'ships.

None of the teams you mentioned have losing records against the 2017 Cavs, let alone the 2018 version with only Kevin Love who's way better than any player than LAL has and was a MUCH better fit for Lebron's skillset. All of those teams have positive point differentials and at least a .500 record vs the Cavs of the last two years, and the only one who isn't crushing the point differentials is Utah, who played half those games without Rudy and still went 2-2.

And this was with 38mpg, 82 games-a-year Lebron who was fighting for an eighth straight finals appearance.. Not LA Lebron who's looking up and knows that even if he gets in the best he'll do is getting trounced in the second round, a Bron who has zero to gain by going hard this year with a bunch of misfit 1-year guys that they've collected.

The West is really good yo.

Only if Vivica A. Fox was on his team would he ship it.

Can you believe that the 76ers actually took Wilson Chanlder off your hands for what amounts to nothing for the 76ers and a huge win for the Nuggets.

Hmmmm is Joshua Harris gonna do an outside thing with the Kroenkes? My guess is yessss.

Sketchy

Seadood,


Lebron tho

You're so edgy. I like the way you spell playoffs with a 'z'. Very very cool and creative.

Anyway, you willing to bet NO misses playoffz?
