That's long, they'll all find us here anyway. :sigh:

These are my (fairly) detailed predictions. Let me know what you all think:

This is what I am thinking at the mo

East
1. Miami
2. Boston
3. Pacers
4. Knicks
5. Nets
6. Philly
7. Hawks
8. Raptors

Really hard to pick the bottom end I think Bulls might bottom out this year without Rose, on one hand Hawks look bad but really all they have done is switch Johnson for Williams which isn't a bad move, Bucks can be on the bubble for the playoffs and Wizards too

West
1. Thunder
2. Lakers
3. Spurs
4. Clippers
5. Grizzlies
6. T-Wolves
7. Nuggets
8. Kings

Hard to pick an 8 seed again between Dallas, Kings (hoping for a Boogie Cousins breakout year) and maybe Warriors if Steph Curry can stay healthy

Sort of, I wanted them to win last seasons play offs, I didn't really like the heat lol.

I like San Antonio too, they're so multicultural, I wish I could be around that group of people, plus they have some bad ass veterans and they're not mugs either, all good ballers.

and from the east I like Boston

Yeah - it's kinda a new look roster I suppose, in some ways.

Kept the core of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, but Ray Allen signed with the Heat.

Signed Courtney Lee and Jason Terry to complete the back court plus make it more stable while Avery Bradley recovers from shoulder surgeries.

Starting lineup once all players are available:

PG: Rondo
SG: Avery Bradley
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Brandon Bass
C: Kevin Garnett

Although KG doesn't love playing C I'm pretty sure he'll be handling center for the whole year now as it was a massive improvement...

I'll have to think about my predictions and post some other time, but I think the C's will have a better year this year than they did last year and hopefully the ECF will be them and the Heat again.

Is Avery Bradley any good? I haven't really seen him play at all

I think Ray was starting to struggle tbh, he hasn't got much left in him.. Glad Garnett stayed, such a boss

Yeah, he's good - he's an absolutely amazing defender so he fits into the Doc system well and although people say he can't shoot he's shown a vast improvement there this season, hence Doc benched Ray in favour of Avery :smile:

Ray is a clutch shooter, but he needs plays to be set up for him which isn't what the Celts need - I think he'll do good on the Heat though :smile: but yeah, he's definitely slowing down!
Can't wait for the season to start! Been rooting for the Lakers since 07. I'm liking the little differences they've made this offseason, such as signing Jodie Meeks and Jamison. Chris Duhon is a good defensive PG and may prove useful. Getting rid of Mc'roberts was a good move too. Now they have depth, all they need is chemistry, and that will come with playing togethor.

It's gonna be hard to get past the Thunder, it's gonna take more than Dwight and Metta to stop Westbrook and Durant. What do people think, will Lebron still be better than KD this year?

According to you ;D

Right now, I'd agree, but when it comes to christmas the Lakers will have chemistry. I think they have more depth and a more talented starting five than the Spurs.
Hopefully D-Rose is back in full strength!
