[pjdabullsfan]

So Bulls fans weren't really Bulls fans... just rose fans [emoji]129300[/emoji]

NY gonna be fun to watch imo if healthy... IF healthy.

Yep 

 I knew they were just here for Rose

I will tune in to the Knicks and T-Wolves tho

edit: Oh snaps, Jacoby is on too. Dope

 

[freeze]

bruhhh nickmaz gotta be off that synthetic. Knicks gonna potentially get 55 wins? That's just 2 wins less than the Cavs finished with lmaooo.

@darrenrovell Just In: Warriors asking for $15 million to $20 million a year for a company to put its logo on their uniforms

This is way cheaper than I thought. I would think it'd be much more than that

 So you're no longer a bulls fan ? Cats selling out their teams.

He's trying to talk himself into switching it up.

I don't think he can do it

If everything goes well for nyk they'll knab a playoff spot, which is great.

But I dont know how a team who's best players are noah/melo/rose/Jennings/porzingis in 2016 has a ceiling of 55 wins.

To me their ceiling would be 45 wins with a floor of like 35 wins or something.

There's a real possibility that age and wear and tear has caught up to melo, and Noah may not even be good at all anymore. At Rose's best he's an inefficient chucker and with ball dominant guys like melo and rose the idea that that's gonna maximize porzingis's production is...questionable to say the least. Jennings still can be good but idk if he moves the needle in the win column.

So if they stay away from the injury bug and Melo can be really good and they get solid production from everyon, and essentially if everything goes great for them they can net 42-45 wins.

 

[bronconation24]

Curling of 45, floor of 35 is exactly where I'd predict the Knicks finish

 

[pjdabullsfan]

 
Cavs

Pacers

Toronto

Celtics

Pistons

Knicks

Hawks

Wizards

I'm not making any more predictions for the East after last year

 

[noblekane]

If Hornacek can get the Suns to 45+ wins in the West i'm sure he can get us to around that mark.

Post injury Rose and Noah with Melo and KP is better than anything that 48 win Suns team had. Plus this is arguably the best NBA team Melo was ever on, lets see how far he can take them.

whole nother world coaching aging vets

horny has never done that

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Let's discuss the finer points of horny and aging vets, shall we?

 

[Platinum State]

6ers winning 20 games max. Let's not kid ourselves. Or y'all selves

Id say 30 is more realistic

 

[HIM]

Jordan Clarkson has a ceiling of prime T-Mac too.

I've seen a lot of ridiculous claims but this one right here...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Same morons in here hating on the Knicks

55 wins is real

Deal with it

 

[a-friend]
