With Kevin Love there (and him, Waiters, and Irving having a lot to prove now) I can't see the Bulls ending with a better record.

1- Cavs
2- Bulls
3- Heat
4- Wizards
5- Hornets
6- Raptors
7/8- Pistons/Hawks/Knicks
fair enough, but I was told the same thing entering the 2010 season (and 2011)

No knicks? LOL. We're a 5/6 seed. We were just a 2 seed 2 years ago. Last year was a nightmare season.

How the fukk is that a playoff team? Whole fanbase ain't nothing but a bunch of a peter pans and lost boys on some "All we need to do is believe :troll:" shyt. People can explain Big Sean's career easier than they can explain the Knicks playoff chances in 2014.

nikka shut your hating ass up. Melo has brought worse teams to the playoffs than us.

Calderon/Larkin
Shumpert/Smith/Hardaway Jr
Melo/Early
Bargiani/STAT
Dalembert/Aldrich


This is easily a playoff team in the weak ass East. Last year wasn't a talent issue. Last year was a chemistry/coaching/health issue. Everyone missed games and that led to a lack of chemistry. Felton tried to murk his BM, Tyson broke his leg, Amare was being Amare, Bargiani got injured, JR Smith got suspended for weed. Add to the fact that Woodson was terrible. And it's not surprise we didnt make the Playoffs.

We'll definitely make the playoffs. Worry about your squad.

I aint say we going to the ECF or even the Finals. That's unrealistic. But we're definitely making the playoffs.

If I was 100% sure about Derrick Rose staying healthy the whole season, my opinion might change, but I'm on that gotta see it to believe it type shyt.

Also, I think this Cavs team has more players that gain by proving something in the regular season than those Heat squads had, and I think they'll have less chemistry issues than the Heat had when they first came together. I doubt this Cavs team will start off 10-10 or whatever the Heat were in 2011. And I think Love, Irving, Waiters, etc., and especially David Blatt will want to prove a lot during the season whereas that Miami team from the jump was really looking towards the playoffs.

I will say this though, even though I think he's overrated, no coach is going to get more wins out of a regular season than Tom Thibodeau. He will have his team treating every game as it's important.

This shyt reminds me of Hollinger's "CROWN THE KING" articles for 3 str8 years. Dude couldn't comprehend why his advanced statistics which told him Cavs and Lebron were the best team and best player respectively, couldn't win the championship.
He always went back after the fact to explain why Lebron and the Cavs didn't win using his advanced stats....Same advanced stats that had led him to predict the champions :mjlol:

He also spent those same years calling Derek Fisher the worst starting PG in the NBA and couldn't understand why Phil had him in his starting lineup. :mjlol:

Why the hell people still got Miami as a top 4 team?

Wade is DEAD. Bosh ain't so much better than LMA that he can carry a similar team with no Lillard type backup.

I think that might be a bit of an overstimation of the Hornets. They'll get better but not that much, I'd still put the Heat ahead of them.

Washington and Toronto is a tough call because I could easily see them regress and shockingly be a dissappointment after last year
