The Bulls are not nearly as good as everyone thinks they are. I gave them the 3rd seed and that is only because the EAST is so damn weak. Wall is not a leader, he is a great player, but that team needs him to be a leader to fight for winning the EAST. The Rockets are a mess. They will make the playoffs and I gave them a huge upset over the Spurs but with such a bad coach and two superstars that don't lead, it will be a long long season. The Cavs are by far the best team in the league. I think it's going to be the easiest ring The King will win. When the Jazz gave a max deal to Hayward I thought they are insane, but he is a great player and he will make them decent, I can't wait for them to go back to their glory days. The Suns are no longer the crazy underdog, and it shows it hurt them. But I think it's a unique club, and amazing fan base, they will be fine. The Blazers didn't care about any game they played, so I would'nt give it too much thought. They still have the best fans in the league and some amazing players. Last thought ... I'm happy for Bosh and Wade. They are going to have much more fun this season.
Very random and it's only the preseason, but just some thoughts I had ...
just in the name of debate/conversation.....agree about the warriors,they are a real strong dark-horse i believe..big question-mark will be kerr in his first gig but the team has big up-side.
bulls are legit,not sure wat gives you the impression they will be anything but a #1 or #2 seed...i think rose probably goes down again tho so that cud put paid to that.
rockets will fall off big time i agree..i wudnt be even slightly surprised if they miss playoffs.
the jazz will NOT be decent,they will absolutely,positively suck.not sure how you cud think otherwise..hell,even in the east they mite still be bad.
and cavs in no way are "by far" the best team in the league..this is one of the more ludicrous notions ever proposed...did you see a team called the spurs play any basketball last year??..they return the same line-up and played sum historically great basketball and made a pretty decent team look amateur-ish on the biggest stage...how you can place an untested,untried combination with so many new pieces and coach above that champ pedigree group is beyond baffling
please explain
also co-sign wat the other doubters have suggested in here...if you go over 54% it will be shocking and impressive and praise should fall upon you from all directions...just my view but theres no way anyones even getting close to 60% long term on a big sample size,thats absurd to the point of being comical......but i wont be derogatory about it,i watch with interest like others and of course i hope you get even within shouting distance of your target.
best of luck,we not here to kill each other,we meant to be tryna hit the books
and i assume 77% was a joke??,not sure others picked up on it...wat sample size was that supposed to be over??
