They were the 2nd most injured team in the NBA in 2023-24 and still won 48 games lol

Having them as a 7th seed play-in team is nasty work.

You're right. They should be 6th.

So put a win total on it. The Cavs are going to go from 64 wins down to what?

[DowJones]

1. Cleveland
2. New York
3. Detroit
4. Milwaukee
5. Orlando
6. Philly
7. Atlanta
8. Miami

[Kawaii Leonard]

Toronto for their sake better over perform and exceed the consensus expectations because for the amount of money they have tied in their “core” they should be in contending conversations.

We winning it all babe

Why do people keep putting pistons over hawks? Hawks had a bunch of injuries last year and only finished with 4 less wins than detroit.

As did the magic and they were only 3 games behind Detroit (with the magic being battered by injuries all season).... I get the pistons lost Ivey for the season but I just don't see the top end talent on that roster outside of cade. They also lost thjr,Schroeder & Beasley. These guys were such big contributions to there team and I think it's gonna hurt them.

I think it's clearly:

Cleveland/nyk
Orlando
Then everyone else, I don't see how people are putting the hawks & pistons close to a healthy Orlando magic team. The magic were a better team the season before (47 win season) then the pistons were last season. And the hawks haven't come anywhere close to the magic the last couple of seasons.

No chance, that is comedic gold.

A 20 win decrease, be serious.

I don’t really have an issue with putting Orlando ahead of Atlanta or Detroit. I don’t think a great deal separates any team in that 3-8 range.

[magee]

In no particular order:

Atlantic: Boston, New York
Central: Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee
Southeast: Atlanta, Miami, Orlando

Play-In: Indiana, Philadelphia

Teams who could sneak into the Play-In, health permitting for any playoff/Play-In team listed above (one from each Division): Toronto, Chicago, Charlotte.

To be fair Niang kept getting switched onto Paolo. So yea mis matches were all over the court for Atlanta. JJ would be much tougher to score on than Niang.

Don't know where Orl and Atl lands but I want a nasty back and forth with them. Something similar to what Trae has with NYK, nothing toxic just something to get the best out of the guys.

We already gave you the nasty forth, we're waiting for the back.

Vegas has it looking like this:
1. Cavs

2. Knicks
3. Magic

4. Hawks
5. Pistons
6. Bucks
7. Sixers
8. Celtics

9. Pacers
10. Heat
11. Raptors

12. Bulls
13. Hornets
14. Nets
15. Wizards

I think people are too high on the Bucks and too low on the Pacers.

If they're healthy I can't seem them not winning 50. likely 55-58 in this weak conference.

They should be fighting for 6th. If not, they can just trade them all.

[knicksstuff]

The bottom 5 are all interchangable to me

1. New York
2. Cleveland
3. Orlando
4. Philly
5. Milwaukee
6. Detroit
7.Atlanta
8. Boston
9. Toronto
10. Miami
11. Charlotte

Anthony Black takes his matchups with Trae like it’s his last day of a 10 day contract
