Love it, I'm a bucks fan who grew up in Milwaukee so I'm all for it!

Toronto’s gonna be way higher than 10th. They’ll be a top 4 team in the east. Don’t know why everyone likes to place Toronto low in the standings every year when they exceed season predictions every year.

Deep bench
Better Giannis

Milwaukee's going in this year.

They have a great lineup still, but they lack bench depth which will tire the starters in the long run, thus sacrificing this season

Ibaka, VanVleet/Powell, RHJ, Davis, McCaw. That bench is already better than most of the teams benches you got in the playoffs

I don't think so. They lost Brogdon and Mirotic though. So their has roster has somewhat little bit weakened. They'll get over the hump if Giannis improves his jumpshot and Middleton becomes the go-to-guy player.

[Rick Carlisle]

miami and detroit are too far up in the east imo..

west is too stacked even if I want dallas higher than 12..

Brogdon's a solid player no doubt, but that will be his best season. What will miss from Brogdon in Milwaukee is his basketball IQ, and that's about it. Wesley Matthews can shoot the lights out, and Pat Connaughton's a solid energy guy, and they added Korver, whose shooting is still dependable and is perfect for Coach Bud's system. Their defense got better actually.

Mirotic's gone, but replaced with RoLo and Dragan Bender(who I'll see some improvements, Bucks BroLo 2.0). Mirotic was a disappointment during his stint in Milwaukee.

I'll give credit to the Raptors for the job they've done this season. That bench is pretty good and full of youth.

[Chris Bosh]

Nobody expected that Memphis will go to the 8th seed immediately.

contrary to how you first predicted.. hahaha

[David "The Admiral" Robinson]

But, there's something I predicted right: THE SIXERS ARE THE MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW, and yes no excuses.
