I think New York has move dinto the bubble category. Not sure about there future but Rose and Noah and Lee and whatever else they give them a good shot at the playoffs next year. Washington and Milwaukee are teams that I was suprised didn't do that well last year so we will have to see if that was just a hiccup or more serious but they still have talent and have added some decent vets so I think they have a legitimate shot. Charlotte and Atlanta look ready for a fall.

don't forget Carmelo ha. their best player. Rose is a big what if to me and Idk if noah significantly helps them but with the development of porzingis and courntey lee being a solid wing defender, if rose can be a shell of his former self then they are a playoff team for sure

yeah didn't forget about melo was more referring to what they added. I assume everyone knows NY has melo. Also yeah Noah and Rose are question marks. Which is why I have them in the bubble category. If healthy I think they are good companions for Melo as is Lee and Porzingis should get better so so we shall see. But yeah if Rose and/or Noah get hurt then yeah they probably fall out of the playoffs which is why I have them on the bubble.

Yes, I have us in the playoffs. Skiles had us on the cusp before we fell apart, and that's skiles... DJ should be better than CJ or bj, lol. Aaron Gordon breakout year. My biggest concern is scoring. Fournier gonna have a chuck fest. But with our front court, I feel slightly better because we won't be a cone defense to score on this year.

And Vogel...feels like a SF trainer compared to skiles basic infantry school. He is a force multiplier which makes the total greater than the sum of its parts. I am freaking ecstatic and I'm buying nba 2k for the first time in 6 years when it comes out! Silence the haters!

Not sure if we're a playoff team, but if we miss it this year, it will be a severe failure.

I think if we do make it to the playoffs it will be hard to score on us. The swat brothers, Ag blocking shots and out muscle other 3's, and EP the former DPOY in college.

I think we are somewhere in the 6-8 seed range. We have tons of capable veterans now and one of the best defensive teams in the East probably. Biggest question mark will be scoring enough points...

We have much better team then we had last year in every position. Our bench is also better. Young players will be at list a bit better. We have ALOT better coach. If we don't win 48 games it will be BIG surprise.

Detroit was the 8th seed and they did not improve. We will probably battle for that spot with them and Milwaukee. The rest will move around but not fall out of the playoffs (as far as i can see).

I think the Hornets will fall out unless they replace Lin, Jefferson and Lee with some decent players.

Yes. Even though we don't have Nicholson...
