a couple weeks in, how does the coli feel about some of these teams that are showing out early?

are they really bout that postseason life or are they just showing out before legit good teams are fully charged?

Orlando
Indiana
Brooklyn
phoenix
New York starting to win some games

feel free to add a team

All of them are bums and aren't real playoff teams. They're better than last year though.

None of those teams are contenders right now ( hopefully the Knicks soon), but Orlando is definitely the most surprising.

No way I would’ve thought the magic would be first in the East with wins at Miami, over San Antonio and Cleveland.

This NBA season has been weird.

Just like the 14-15 Season


Teams are progressing

If Brooklyn had Lin, they’d probably be playoff caliber, but I think they’ll end up just coasting and coaching up the youth.

I haven’t watched Orlando but from what I heard Aaron Gordon has basically become God. Is that sustainable? :ld:
I hope Phoenix doesn’t plan on trying to win now with a nikka named Mike James as their PG. probably akin to the Lakers last year where they’ll show their fans that they have a quality core for a dozen or so games and then throw the rest of the season away

Philly (barring injuries), Minnesota are the real deal as far as post season

Brooklyn nah
Phoenix nah

Indiana and Orlando might be able to sneak in. I say no tho

Orlando has a solid foundation.

They have to keep building but the could be a problem in the future

Indiana /Brooklyn = 7/8th seed. Br


Lol at the other teams mentioned.

mike james BEEN nice.

having him & Ulis competing for the job, for now at least >>>> Bledsoe running the offense

no diss to Bledsoe, but he needs to be on a team where he knows his role. and maybe just play SG.
