NBA starts today!!

Lol, dude don't let your fandom cover your senses. This is the West. OKC will be max a 7 seed and that's pushing it.

we will see

[pres80]

Baba don't worry Durant and Westbrook are only out for another month, not the entire season. We won't finish 1-3 but I think we will finish between 4-6 which means we will likely play the Clippers, Grizzlies, or the Spurs. Which means we are playing our Conference Final in our first round, if we win in the first series i see no trouble in making it back to the finals.

Grizzles, Mavs, and Spurs... those are the three teams that have a chance this year from the West.

OKC is going to be behind with injuries in a very tough conference.... it's going to be tough for them

Blazers will probably win the division, but only because OKC is hurt.

Rockets are good too, but I don't like their bench. Dwight Howard is still a dominant center and as long as Harden actually plays defense, they'll go far.

Warriors need to play everyone like they play the Clippers. They don't have a dominant big man and Bogut is made of glass. Draymond Green only has good games against the Clippers. Klay Thompson won't keep up his scoring, but it will be around 22 ppg at the end of the regular season, which is a huge improvement. They should just pretend Blake Griffin is on the opponents team every night and they'll win the finals.

Clippers have a lot of problems right now, but if they fix them and get production from the SF position they will be contenders. Blake Griffin will be a top 3 MVP candidate again.

Bulls and Cavs still need more time to gel.

Knicks need ONE more year and a great free agency to be in the playoffs.

I love the Raptors chances this year. They should have beaten Brooklyn last season. If Jonas can develop into a dominant big man, we could be seeing them make a deep playoff run.

[babak_iran]

whos gunna catch da rapors

[Hosseini]

Blazers winning it all. Beat the Thunder and Cleveland.

[saadat_abad]

That makes two if us....the team sure showed their potential. If our guys can play like that consistently we'll be fine, that's a big if though so we'll have to just wait and see.

exactly ! god who knew larkin was so good!? for a guy his height he can ball! you guys need a consistant stodumire ! if he shows up every night you guys will have a great season

[irani8perspolis]

I think OKC has shown the league why we will contend for the title this year, despite a 1-2 start, we beat the Nuggets and should have beaten the Flippers if not for a few unfortunate bounces, all with only 1 starter from last year(Ibaka)! We have 7 injuries and are playing with our last years bench and we still can show we can compete.

[arash123]

The Knicks are the Lakers of the East. Big contracts for players past their prime/injured. At least the Knicks have drafted decently the past two years, unlike my Lake Show...

[Messy]

The Knicks are one year away from being very interesting. They have a few expiring contracts, which will give them a lot of cap space to sign some nice free agents this coming off-season.

[Soosk]

Are you serious? Knicks will be lucky if they can even be in the race for 8th spot.

Better teams?

1)Cleveland
2)Chicago
3)Toronto
4)Washington
5)Miami
6)Charlotte
7)Brooklyn
8)Atlanta/Indiana

The top 4 are vastly better than the knicks. They definitely won't win their division even though the Atlantic is super weak division so the knicks cannot possibly be in the top 4.

Why do you say that? Can you confidently think of 3-4 teams in the east who are clearly better ATM?

[faraz]

Raptors. 'nuff said.

[Messy]

Lakers tried to win, but Kobe bricked himself a house in the 4th

Blake Griffin drops 39, making two three balls and going 11/12 for FTs
