6th?!

[Steve Jobs]

LOL.

But in seriousness, I do think that RL OKC will be a top 4 seed this year. Melo was understatedly one of the worst players in the league getting 30+ minutes a night, Roberson should come back no worse than 85%, PG gets more opportunities to get in a rhythm, Noel will be the best back up Center we’ve had since Kanter (and much more useful defensively), Schröder will be a great back up PG, and more minutes at the four for Grant/PPatt will help a lot. Plus, the team is young enough to expect organic improvement. Abrines, Ferguson, Grant, Adams, and even possibly Diallo could play valuable minutes for us.

lol I read this wrong but no way Lebron misses playoffs

[Ron Artest(1x Champ)]

Boston will run the eastern conference, and Healthy Okc are a top 3 seed, and by healthy I mean if Roberson is available throughout the season. Also I think Minny is a hidden shit show atm, don’t see them making the playoffs.

These rankings are pretty wild looking at them on the surface.

For a sec I thought these were D720 rankings, and seeing Toronto at the top I was like, "Did he do these backwards?"

I'm not a Portland believer. It's basically same team as last year and although they were 3rd last year, but it will be super tight for sure for the places 3-10 and everyone else got better.

I didn't do too bad.  LAL missing the playoffs makes me happy.  Everyone was right about the Minnesota pending shit storm so that was my biggest miss.
