    MM, I have to disagree. Harden IS a PG. Handles the ball 90% of the time. All plays run though him and he is top 5 in the league in assists. Learn the position, then post!

    I saw that... it said we were 9th but actually much more likely than not to make the top8 playoffs.... the difference between #2-#9 was only a couple games.

    Great point.

    A PG isn't just the shortest guy on the team....

    Something seems really wrong with their projections. For example, the Bucks won 60 games last year which equates to 53 wins this year. They added Jrue. Yet they are projected to win 8 less games? I used BPM to project the Blazers record and got around 46 wins (probably more like 44 wins with the minutes distribution Stotts will employ). They project 38 wins. Maybe they are taking into account the potential for injuries.

    The east got stronger. Brooklyn for example.

    The team flying under the radar is Indiana. They could win the East. Especially now that McMillan is gone. The jury is out on Atlanta and Cleveland but they do have exciting backcourts.
