Can’t wait till Boston shows how overrated they are

Yeah, maybe the Nets will be relevant this year will be interesting to see.

Interesting. Nets fan believes worst case scenerio for two division rivals will occur. Also, who are these Injury prone players you're talking about? Embiid? That's just one player, and that's an odd thing to say considering Irving is also an often injured player and your other star player, KD, is out with a major injury. Let that hate go brotha.

Here’s mine in order

76ers
Bucks
Celtics
pistons
Pacers
Nets
Magic
Raptors

I’ve got the Pistons missing the playoffs. Hosting a 1st round series would be next to impossible imo

Regular Season Records:
1. Bucks (Coach Bud teams rack up wins, team is deep and deadly offensively)
2. Sixers (Nice Roster, scary on paper, but not sure how seamless is the fit)
3. Pacers (East Version of the Blazers. Overachievers with healthy Oladipo)
4. Raptors (Also overachievers, they will rack up wins due to chemistry and experience as is)
5. Nets (Dont think they are that good without Durant, especially with Irving as leader again)
6. Celtics (Wildcard, might rank higher, but really need to see them with Walker and no Horford)
7. Heat (Butler and Dragic will probably get this team to the Playoffs by default)
8. Pistons (Wizards scare me on Chemistry issues, Pistons will have improved Guard play with Rose)

NBA Finals bound: Bucks (Sixers the only real threat, but Bucks are too hungry and deep to be denied)

It’s not hate, I look at the Nets being successful because I don’t believe Prince has to try and put up KD numbers for the nets to be good. If the Nets run the same exact system as they did last year but instead of Dlo you have Kyrie, they’re a much better team. Embiid is only one player but he’s their most important player. Doesn’t change the 6er’s lack of depth, or the fact that their starting lineup’s players have conflicting play styles. Unless you believe the Ben Simmons jumpshot is real.
Celtics are overrated, I find it hard to believe that the Celtics downfall was all because of kyrie. Boston is paying Kemba big money, do you expect him to take less shots than Kyrie did? With Kanter as their starting center they’ll be worst of defense with the same questions on offense, who’s gonna take the majority of the shots.
I didn’t mention the other divisions because it’s pretty self explanatory. Bucks are going to run away with the one seed. Indiana will have a top 4 record depending on health of Vic.
1) Milwaukee
2) Philadelphia
3) Indiana
4) Brooklyn
5) Miami
6) Boston
7) Toronto
8) Orlando

1. Bucks
2. Raptors
3. Pacers
4. 76ers
5. Celtics
6. Nets
7. Magic
8. Pistons

Bucks lost Brogdon, Mirotic
Raptors lost Kawhi

Both teams got weaker, but should still be the top two teams in the regular season

Pacers lost Oladipo (till he returns)
76ers lost Butler, Redick
Celtics lost Horford, Kyrie, Baynes

Pacers picked up Brogdon, Lamb, and Warren, they'll be fine while they await Oladipo's return

76ers tempered their losses somewhat by adding Horford and Richardson, but spacing and lack of depth is going to be a huge issue for them

Celtics picked up Kemba to replace Kyrie, but they have no one to replace Horford or Baynes - unless Tatum breaks out, they're going struggle to obtain homecourt

Maybe learn to read properly first before you decide to be condescending in your posts.

It's shocking to me, that multiple people actually believe the Nets will be better than the Raptors.

What’s so shocking about it?

Raptors wing depth is Norman Powell, OG Anunoby, and Stanley Johnson.

Lowry will be 34, Gasol will be 35.

Awkward for you.....

But hey let’s stay on topic, Kyrie will miss between 10-15 games as he likes to take them off and with no Durant I’m not seeing where the scoring is going to come from?

They are still playoff bound but not doing much at all this year.

I'm not the one calling out the wrong poster because all I can see are team logos. You realize that different users can use the same logo, right?

1. Sixers

My dark horse is Atlanta but I think they are still a year away from cracking that 8th spot.
