Lakers got too many cooks in the kitchen but not a superstar (outside of the aging Lebron and injured davis). Their team reminds of the Celtics with Kyrie, rozier, horford, Hayward, Tatum, brown, Marcus morris, Marcus smart. It really didn’t go well for the Celtics.

I'm rooting for Denver to win again.
- bucks
- nuggets
- lakers
- suns
- celtics
Everybody sleeping on the Warriors lol.
I’m good with it, but the main thing I am noticing that is different is the team’s chemistry and mood. Everything looks loose and fun and that is generally a problem for the rest of the league.

I’m sorry but the Bucks being ranked #2 I do not see, at all.
Too much judgement from preseason in these numbers. It's all experimentation at the end of the day and getting your feet wet as a team and learning new plays, new players in new roles, etc. The real thing starts in a few days and then we can judge.
But how can I talk about how DISRESPECTED Denver is if they’re ranked 1st??
Here is the only guarantee in the NBA:
LeBron is never making the finals ever again
Not last, baby. 😎
Nba com be like - team that was swept> team in the finals
Tier 1 - Bucks, Nuggets, Celtics, Suns
Tier 2 - Warriors, Lakers, Heat
Tier 3 - Cavs, Kings, Clippers, Grizz
Tier 4 - Knicks, Wolves, 76ers
Tier 5 - Nets, Pelicans, Mavs, Thunder
Tier 6 - Hawks, Raptors, Bulls
Tier 7 - Jazz, Magic, Pacers, Rockets
Tier 8 - Blazers, Hornets, Pistons, Spurs
Tier 9 - Wizards
Cavs a tier over us??
Reasonable except for the Lakers.
Lakers can be better than last year, they have a better team than they started the season with, but I don't believe in the health and availability.
Can't argue
I am much lower on the Suns than consensus but part of the problem is always who do you replace them with. Lot of above average but not great teams in the West.
I mean, we can’t really say until we see them play. Right now we are just speculating on paper who is best. 3 of those top 5 teams had pretty decent changes to their teams/starting 5 and yet they are still projected to still be top 5. How do we know these changes vibe with the team’s culture and playing style? How do we even know these are additions?
I think the Nuggets/Lakers/Warriors are more of a known commodity than Suns/Bucks/Celtics in their new forms.
I personally think Warrior’s team/depth this year looks dangerous, but that’s only based off preseason and seeing the chemistry already develop. I didn’t watch Suns/Celtics or Bucks in the preseason
Blazers too high imo.
Cavs and kings needs to be switched. Cavs at 14 is crazy, Kings at 8 isn't as crazy but not top 10 unless Murray takes a leap.
Mfs really think Gabe and Strus were the preferred starters for the Heat lmaoo this sub is hilarious
Lakers aren't even the 5th best team in the West, let alone the entire league.
Lakers being +1100 might be the sharpest futures bet on the board this year.
This is not Dragonball Z
Cockcarrot would disagree!
I just hope every team has a healthy year 🙏
Lakers at 5th? I don’t think that is going to age well. Pun intended.
