[quote name="Freeze"]Listen...Portland is gonna be a great team to watch this year. Theyre going to be tough for squads in the west. Top 5.[/quote] I'm looking at Detroit and Boston as sleepers.
 
Pretty Ricky slander will not be tolerated.. Them boys supporting the other local teams :hat
 
i dont see how portland improves by signing evan turner...4 years 70 mil :x

i wish NY went after biyombo instead of noah.
 
[quote name="FinallyFamous"]Boston a sleeper? LOL[/quote]Yeah, my bad, they've totally been dominating the East.

*looks up last ECF featuring green and white*

Weird. It's been awhile, and it's a completely different team since last time.

(By sleeper, I'm not talking about just winning a few games. I'm talking about making some serious noise. And I don't mean regular season noise. I mean a sleeper pick for the ECF, and possibly even the Finals.)
 
No I get that but they are being hyped up big time.

finals? Eh. Idk man.

Unless La Bamba happens to the Cavs I don't see it
 
More slander....?

Bout that action boss :hat

Boston Hawks will underachieve now that they actually have expectations. Brown might be a player tho if he gets any burn

Bucks will also fail to live up to the hype.

Pistons will go as far as a team led by reggie Jackson can go. That's not a compliment.

Knicks will shock the world and not be garbage. However porzingis will be viewed more critically and fans will start to take note of his flaws

Ditto the kings and boogie

Lakers will be in the mix for a playoff seed

Clippers gonna clip

Pelicans gonna pelican't

Rockets will take off hot then fizzle out

Jeremy Lin will be exposed for the average/below average player he is now that he can't hide behind the luster of a playoff team

Mudiay will prove to be a bust

Sixers will end up trading Noel to a western conference contender for a fringe player and a late 1st rounder or two

Memphis

Orlando's rebuild will continue to underwhelm

Okc will have a dream season and finish as a top 5 seed. However they won't make it out the 1st round

Gsw 76-6

Spurs will reinvent themselves as an offense only powerhouse. Pop will once again self destruct in the playoffs and lose to one of the other Texas teams

I think most people have Boston as the #2 team in the east and in the convo for the Finals. On NT and in the Media. They're the best chance to beat the Cavs imo. I have them in the ECF.

People have Boston in the convo for the finals?

How exactly would they take more than 1 game off of Cleveland? Where's the matchup advantage?

Jaylen Brown obviously is going to lock down Lebron.
 
Boston isn't a real threat. Y'all can't be serious :lol.

They've won like 1 playoff game the last 3 years. Good young coach...with a bunch of above average players....

ATL>>>>Boston

Easily.
 
I don't think Boston will have the sustained success to finish as a #2 seed.

An ECF appearance is possible, but that will largely depend on who they're matched up with in the previous rounds.

I like that whole operation and what they have going on over there. I think some fans/media are slightly overrating them though.
 
I'll believe someone in the east is a contender besides the Cavs when I see it. Every year it's the samething. First it was Chicago, then it was the Hawks and then the raptors now this year the Celtics [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji].... I ain't falling for that again.

When a team beats LeBron's team in the East in a playoff series, then I'll believe they are a contender.
 
ATL not doing nothing, I believe Dwight is washed until I see otherwise.

If he could turn back the clock ok, but I highly doubt it at this point.

Haven't you heard? They have a top 5 coach and they signed al horford. Not to mention a plethora of draft picks that will either be cut at the end of preseason or spend their time in the D league/Shanghai sharks. What's not to like?

But seriously Boston was like 1 game away from being a 7th/8th seed last season. Hella overrated
