Our best case scenario is a 3rd seed. This could be because SAS falls off due to age or OKC/HOU not gelling well. Finishing ahead of two of those teams, than beating the other one in the 2nd round to make it to the WCF isn't an out of range possibility.
Best case scenario in terms of both sides of the ball: Offense: 3rd-5th in the league Defense: 8th-10th in the league That would be a top 5 team in the league.
And THIS is why you freak out after every loss. Oh wait you can't even see this. I should say something really bad to see if you are secretly following me again.
It's too hard to put a prediction on things. How will the rookies play? Can Nurk stay healthy? Can ET stay healthy? Will Pat step up? I have almost zero expectations for this season. I'm just going to enjoy it.
Lol. Really wouldn't. It'd be just as silly as saying we might miss the playoffs, but it'd be the opposite of the disrespect we normally get from the national media. It's like, they were predicting us to be a 4th/5th seed at the start of last year. Now we're better than we were then, yet we're supposed to be a borderline 8th seed. The west didn't get that much better. That shows that they are simply predicting things based on how last year went, without actually taking notice of what caused us to regress last year and how those actual problems are fixed. There's so many intricacies to the game of basketball that national writers have absolutely no grasp of. Therefore, it leads to them looking at how good big names look on a sheet of paper and overhyping big markets at the expense of smaller markets. The NBA Media is the worst of all major sports. They added Paul Pierce to the ESPN NBA Countdown show, and I watched for 10 minutes. What'd they have him talking about for most of it? Whether Isaiah Thomas should be (quote) "salty" that he got traded. SMH.
1.) Well 2.) Should have a better chance at staying healthy due to his weight loss 3.) I think so, his injuries were kind of fluky things and weren't representative of an injury prone player 4.) ...to the mound? Hopefully.
