Cavs making the playoffs is an insane prediction. I guess someone has to get the 8th seed but I think the Cavs will be horrible.
I keep hearing people say the 76ers are super overrated because of how they finished the season, but before that they were a very young team that lost a bunch of close games. I think they had an expected record of 55-27 last year. I would agree that they're overrated if we assumed no progress from Simmons & Embiid but they should both take leaps again this year. I'd lock them in as the 3 seed if I had any confidence in Embiid staying healthy and playing close to 2500 minutes.
I'm not confident in Turner making a leap but I hope he does. I hope him and Sabonis can play together. I think Sabonis makes another huge leap this year and his play demands 30 mpg (I'm biased, he's my fav player itl). How well those guys play (individually and together) is one of the things I'm most looking forward to watching this year. Hopefully I don't get too tilted watching McMillan's in-game coaching.
