A few of these are comical but a lot of them are true.

Sheridans "expert" opinion is the best.

The wincing Al Horford photo is a nice touch to accompany the predictions.

Doesn't surprise me as Sheridan probably doesn't watch any games that aren't nationally televised outside of the Knicks(who he has finishing 6th).

Sheridan says the Wizards will finish 3rd in the SE and 7th overall.

Do we really believe these "experts" watch all basketball or just 3 or 4 teams?

I know Hollinger does...I'm not sure bout the others. IDK if you have ESPN insider but Sheridan had the Hawks falling the 7th seed last year based on similar logic.
