Why and how did the Pacers, Pistons and Celtics all get consensus better than the Raptors l? Where was I when this happened?

The raptors won 56 games last season with a plethora of injuries the whole season... Most of the season actually. What happened that made them that much worse this year? The absence of Biyombo? He averaged like 20 some odd minutes last season at most and only because JV was hurt.

Raptors are the clear 2 seed

Full season of DMC and Norm is gonna take a step next year...

Hard the judge how good the Raptors will be especially with a few teams in the East getting better. They did most of their work against East teams. You also would think that Casey's terrible halfcourt offense would eventually catch up to them, felt like damn near every game they won in the playoffs was by the grace of god, both of their playoff opponents took them to 7.

I am a huge fan of Jim Carrey. But I feel like Dirk not going to get much help from Wes, Barnes, and Bogut.

They don't look terrible on paper, but the Fuhrer got dudes surrounding him that lack heart and health

Warriors had to grind out some games to get 73 last season. I don't think they'll chase a historic regular season again they don'thave to prove anything. And the Mavs ain't getting in with no damn 39 wins

You would say that because ur following a false narrative...The two games they beat the Cavs werent by the grace of anything other than a ol fashioned ass whoopin...and we have the next Jimmy Butler...

IF Val takes a step forward next year no reason to think they wont be 2nd with a full season of DMC...

Pistons get alot of hype round here

I think they can get a top 4, definitely not #2 though.

Toronto probably still gets that by default.
