I think the GSW are fragile
The news this week about Greens dn Kerr in the lockers last season paints a less than rosey picture in paradise.
The loss of bogut I think is also underestimated.

Also same with cav's.....Della-Vedova loss throughout the regular season I think will hurt them enough that their regular season record will be impacted.

I think horford will be a bust in Boston, Bulls might be ok? Knicks actually have a pretty good team in NY now, depth would be an issue, Miami no, Portland will drop I feel, OKC will be interesting to watch, Charlotte meh, Detroit might pick up but probably not to championship level, Utah might be good but same as Detroit.

Clippers might finally pull it all together this season? Chris Paul, Jordan, Griffin, still a pretty good trio. I'd put money on them as a smokey.

Yeah and I think raptors will be down. Win/loss might only be a slight dip but they will be hurting bad in the playoffs.

The only hope is that Demarre Carroll is healthy, Nogueira can replace 80% of Biyombo and Norm/Jonas continues to improve. I have given up on Ross.

He knew https://watch.nba.com/game/20161025/SASGSW?isPost=true

Dey got blown the fug out :O. Spurs crashing boards harder than Vito ten Brink* all game. Durant and Green the lone bright spark in an otherwise horrific display on the glass for GSW.

*ten Brink leads the ABBL in rebounds with 15.6 per game.

Toronto was lucky last season. They played pretty badly in the playoffs but someone how still managed to make the conference finals.

The Pacers or the Trail Blazers should have a good chance of rounding out the top 4 or 5.

If the Clippers dont do well this season, watch CP3 bolt in free agency.

Anthony Davis must be playing NBA 2k MyCareer on Hall of Fame. He still gets his because he's a player vs the CPU and a beast, but his team-mates can't hit jack because of slider cheese.

EDIT: Raptors weren't that far way from taking one off the Cavaliers, even if their final steal that set up the 0.3 prayer for OT was an uncalled foul. Maybe they won't win 56 games again but they can be a dark horse for the title if Sullinger can come back before too long.

Have you watched the Raptors play playoff games before? Their offence is not built for it.

Play-off basketball is still basketball, and this year especially has taught me that there's no such thing as a certainty in sports. So you can't say with any certainty that the Raptors won't win the title, just that it's an outside chance.

I'm willing to say it too, Raptors have little to no chance of winning the title this season.

i have to admit, who said at the start of the year - bulldogs will win afl grand final..

fkn no one.

injuries, trades, and golden runs all lead to titles in about 75 games time.

Cant really compare AFL/NRL to the NBA lol its apples and oranges.

Its a one game grand finals compared to a seven game series.Better team always finds a way to win a seven game series. (Exception was when Seattle lost to Denver and Mavs lost to Warriors).

The Swans may have come out on top if the grand finals was say a 5 game series or 7 seven games series.
