How is John Wall overrated? He is underrated if anything. His team needs to step it up.

I don't see the Bucks finishing that low either. Too much length, athleticism, young players finally maturing, and a lot of room for growth still on top of that.

Some used to compare and take him over Irving, the story is long gone now.

This wont happen

I will literally eat shit if the Knicks finish 5+ spots higher in the standings than the Bucks this year.

Knicks look good on paper, but health will play a huge role just like the past bulls teams, rose and noah are huge question marks. If healthy, i have them as the 2nd best team. I don't think Bulls will click. They don't have the shooting. Celtics will be better than last season with horford and the new rookie. Raptors is basically the same team as last season.

[coined]

Pistons will finish higher then 8. Stanley Johnson is going to explode.

[329 Services]

Mike assleavy will be the underrated signing in this conference. Bulls are stupid to let a player go to a rival.

[coined]

Orlando indeed have massive rim protection, and defence. Vucevic, Biyombo and Ibaka. But they need some offence.

[FKAri]

Knicks 3rd? wtf

I hope they can but it's not happening unless Porzingis makes some GOAT level leap and Rose got hooked up with adamantium knees.
