Wow Jalen thinks the Warriors will sink to the 7th spot after years of dominating the western conference. I predicting the Lakers to finish in first, Lebron will have a strong fire burning after missing the playoffs last year and he got to rest after so many deep playoff runs year after year.

He is basing it on the way the team in West are stacking up, Lebron, Kawhi in LA uniforms now. Plus GSW also overall their second unit so it make sense that they're no longer the favourites and possible to drop at the 7th-8th spot. But I'm sure they could make the playoff but it will be difficult to go to the WCF.

I really don't understand why Houston is on top, yes they have one of the best duo, but it's not yet proven, as compare to Lillard and Mccollum.

True but Jalen also have some good points here.
You could watch it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZeVXapIPCE&t=257s

His points are Lebron not finishing 82 games just like last year which is true and that is why he put Lakers at 5th seed.
Same with Clippers with Kawhi missing 20 games.
GSW without Klay Thompson.
So chances are it will be Denver at top or it will be Houston if they just keep on doing what they have done last year.
Looks like they are not being affected by the addition of Westbrook at all. (they = NBA analysts)

We have different looks here. It will just be a prediction though. We will see it when the season starts.
I want to see Dallas making it to the 8th spot at least.

It's still early I guess for those bad speculations, I just want to see this tandem click.

Hopefully because it's both MVP playing together and this team has been in the WCF once, so in order to see some improvement, they need to be in the Finals.
I think it's still possible, but let's see... I still have to remain optimistic for their chance, seeing new team in the NBA Finals would be more fun.

Yeah we must be optimistic because even ho great these guys are still they will playing together for the first time so the chance of not getting alone is there so maybe it’s too early to predict but for me there’s a lot of problem will come along the way until they get their good partnership in this team together

I don't want to expect big, I didn't say that but if they will manage to reach the finals it's not just improvement that came to them. But the tandem and the chemistry for the team did really clicked. I'm now seeing those streamers telling their opinions about the roster for Rockets and all they say that this is the new Lakers. Seems like everyone is expecting big with this tandem but there's more to go for the league and more interesting trades are happening.

Yup, the Bucks didn't change anything, I mean why fix it if it is not broken? I think that's the management's philosophy and it was very clear that they are going to go and try their best again and reach the finals in the East. And since Kawhi is already out of the East, Bucks will be the team to beat in the EC. They don't care much about the trade, they could be concern how to be consistent and improved their chances by keeping the core line up.

They are the dark horse last season and probably they are very much satisfied with what they've achieved. And that means that they are doing good with the current roster they have. We still don't have news regarding the intense trade and signing of superstars to different teams and they have nothing to say about it now at least. They are growing together and most of their players are very well disciplined and wanting to achieved the trophy next season together.

Everybody wants their rematch. I bet even the Warriors and Sixers wants that chance to get their revenge on Kahwi with the Raptors.

Everybody is talking about how Giannis would improve next season and I also hope he does because the Sixers will definitely be a tough competition. I would not be sleeping on that Celtics team also now that they got Kyrie out.

Giannis needs to keep improving he's still young and have a big future ahead, if he will start showcasing his talents again the Bucks can get higher chances to win the East side not unless sixers and Celtics have their own versions of becoming the super team coaches will try building as much better system for much better chemistry.

FIVETHIRTYEIGHT PROJECTION OF TOP 8 SEEDS IN THE WEST

1. HOUSTON ROCKETS
2. DENVER NUGGETS
3. LA LAKERS
4. GS WARRIORS
5. UTAH JAZZ
6. LA CLIPPERS
7. DALLAS MAVERICKS
8. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS

JALEN ROSE'S PROJECTION OF TOP 8 SEEDS IN THE WEST

1. HOUSTON ROCKETS
2. DENVER NUGGETS
3. LA CLIPPERS
4. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
5. LA LAKERS
6. UTAH JAZZ
7. GS WARRIORS
8. SA SPURS

Take a pick or create your own top 8.

Dallas and Pelicans aint on Jalen's projection while Spurs and Trail Blazers is not of fivethirtyeight.
For me, Jalen's projection is more reliable than the other. Surely, they forget about Spurs and Portland there. They are hyping Dallas too much and also the rookie Zion of Pelicans with the young guns.

I will just adjust Jalen's projection as Jazz and Spurs on the 7th and 8th seed while Portalnd at 6 and Lakers and Warriors fighting for the 4th seed.

Quintin Cook also played in that Pelicans team I think, the good news is AD actually recruited Boogie which is a great big deal because he is a good player and they played together however then Pelicans didn't resigned him while AD didn't say much about it, which means it could have been "AD is happy about getting rid of Boogie" but it turns out that is not the case.

I think Rondo once had like a 20 assist game when he played with Boogie and AD as well, dude is really a beast when it comes to feeding the big man. They are going to be a good team for sure this next season but I am not sure if they will be as good as people make them out to be, sure they will be A LOT better than last year but I still think clippers are the heavy favorites. Between Pat Beverley and Kawhi and George and also having Lwill as scorer help, they are going to be unstoppable.

- Chemistry - trusting the process with the same lineup -

Yeah, that is also one of running on my mind. That's why I'm rooting for this season on Milwaukee Bucks, especially the MVP is here with their solid lineup. It's just sad on what happened on the finals last season, chocked maybe? Well, even Golden State Warriors suffered from the Toronto Raptors.

Keeping the chemistry for a particular team will really help them, the defense and offense of Milwaukee Bucks are really incredible, there more room to grow on Milwaukee Bucks.

Watch out for a brand new Giannis next season. He knows what he lacks during the last playoffs and definitely he is working on it. Even how strong they are prior to the Conference Finals, the Greek Freek was surely surprised on how the Raptors able to find their weakness even after getting the first 2 wins on their series against them. We all know that Giannis is putting so much effort for every target he desired starting from entering the NBA to getting the NBA Season MVP.

He wants a rematch against the Raptors but unfortunately, Kawhi left. Giannis really wants him to stay in the East but he understands "it's NBA". With some of the much stronger teams next season, I believed Giannis will be more excited to showcase what he got.

We've already discussed about Nets having to work on their chemistry since they have new players on their roster in contrast with the bucks who retained most of their players from last season.

We don't discuss a lot the Nets because they are not too interesting now, Durant is not gonna play, so they are not likely to be a contender.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on July 17, 2019, 01:30:43 AM

How about the Lakers who had players that played together on a different team before? I'm talking about the reunion of AD, Cousins, and Rondo

Well, AFAI, this 3 in the pelicans before had a good chemistry, maybe they can bring in in the Lakers, but let's see first if they can blend with Lebron effectively as he is the boss in this team.

I guess we can't call any team a super team anymore and there aren't any team now that's a favorite to win the championship. Balance has been brought back 😁

That's what is exciting with the upcoming season of NBA. There is no absolute favorite to win the NBA Championship and the era of Superteam is finally closing. Welcome to the era of super duo.

Quote from: Malsetid on July 17, 2019, 02:49:06 AM

and though the warriors are by no means weak with kd's departure, a lot of teams in the west now are capable of dethroning them as western conference champs.

GSW will be struggling in the opening of the season since KT is still recuperating from his injury. We will see a reborn GSW when he comes back at the later part of the season. Curry and Green just have to carry the team for a while, while KT is out.

Quote from: Malsetid on July 17, 2019, 02:49:06 AM

I guess the only thing we can confidently say for now is that we'll have new champions by the end of the season. I highly doubt that the raptors are geared for a repeat.

Without Kawhi on their rooster, it is highly doubtful they will be a contender. At least they had a taste of being a champion for a year, thanks to Kawhi.

Its too early to predict right now but one thing is for sure for me, if this duo will sync the whole season they can be a NBA Finals contender.

They are very close last season, but this season there's a lot of teams to beat in the West, they need to beat the Warriors, Clippers, and the Lakers if they want to be in the finals and if they can do that, I think it's almost guaranteed that they will have the NBA championship.

Warriors doesn't have Kevin Durant and Iguodala anymore but I don't think that they became weaker just because of that.
They still have the shot to take back their glory for this season but what's interesting now, everyone seems to increase their strength through trades and adding more superstars.

But they still have the original splash brothers, Warriors with steve kerr coaching is a very good team, probably still a team to beat.
I just hope this time they will be fully healthy and the new addition which is D'Angelo Russell would grow in the Warriors team.
They are an experience team with young players, I can't doubt their potential.

That's their edge, they have the experience with many finals game and I don't think that they became dry now with the transfers that were against them.
Yes, they still have Coach Kerr and other notable players which built up the original Warriors team. Still a team to watch for but the feeling would be different now because we used to watch the team with KD.

A lot of people hate the Warriors when they build a super team with Durant, and now that Durant is out already, I guess the real excitement of the fans will be back again.

I'm one of the many fans of warriors who admire Curry and Thompson with their good chemistry in the team but Durant came in, things becomes easier for them, and in deed they won twice in a row and now they are not a super team anymore, I like to see them struggle then still wins in the end.

I'll look more closely on the team that has a decent change to be in the Finals, actually Bucks was a good team but they are fully hype when they beat the Celtics convincingly, I also lose as I bet on them against the Raptors and I think they it's hard for them to beat a good team with only Giannis carrying the team, why? because he is so predictable, same team, so possibly same result.

No, I dont agree with that. They dont have that much experience in the Finals. Now, they have that. Giannis now have an idea of what he is missing. He cannot just penetrate the paint. They have their trainers and I am sure they are already making an upgrade.
Lebron is almost the same when he came in. Just penetrating the paint for most of the time but shoots quite well than Giannis now. There is a lot of room for improvements with the Greek Freak and he shows it with his threes.

It is not just about Giannis on that team. He had Middleton, Bledsoe and Lopez which had supported him quite well when he cannot make some points.
This year though is a must win for them and it may be against 76ers which is also doing great.
