Some bold predictions for that ass...

CJ McCollum will lead the league in ppg's
Dame Lillard will be top 3 in MVP race
Paul George will win MVP
Sabo will have 30 TripDubs
Lakers will win 35-41 games


East Standings
Cavs
Pacers
Celtics
Hawks
Raptors
Knicks
Wizards
Pistons


I initially had the Pistons top 4 seed this season but Reggie Jackson missing the beginning of the season will be a big blow to them.

Best Standing
Warriors
Spurs
T'Wolves
Blazers
Clippers
Rockets
Thunder
??????????


That 8th seed could be the Jazz, Pelican, Grizz, Lakers, or Mavs.

Durant looking for a relationship like Raptors guards have, assistant says | Toronto Star

Damn:wow:

“Your two guys are the best. I’m jealous of their relationship, the way they get along with each other and the way they play together. The way they enjoy each other, it’s great,” Kalamian said of that text on Monday, as the Raptors finished up their practice. Durant, all the way from the Olympics in Rio, was in awe of the friendship that Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan had on display with the U.S. men’s basketball team.

“I think it’s kind of what he wants,” Kalamian continued. “He wants that bond with someone . . . and I think he’s going to find that.

“Early on in OKC, we had that.”


-------

“We had that (bond) really with James Harden. He was a connector of everyone. He brought Westbrook, Durant and (Serge) Ibaka and they all kind of connected, they all came together,” Kalamian said.

“James is a big reason and when he left I think Kevin said . . . that trade was the beginning of the end for him and now there wasn’t that connection as much.

“Kevin and Russell, they respect the heck out of each other, no question about it. They played well together, they work well together, they communicate, but I think the connection was lost a little bit for whatever reason.”
