[McLovin]

First of all, RIP Flip. What a shock reading that this morning.

Predictions:

- Atlanta won't be as great. Finish 3rd in their division behind the Heat and Wizards.

- San Antonio to finally fall of their perch. 45ish wins and battle for playoff spot.

- Half expecting Byron Scott to get fired.

- Clippers to win the west (regular season) and choke big time in the playoffs.

- Kings to make the playoffs while Cousins leads the league in scoring

- DeAngelo Russell for ROY

Expecting my Magic to make big improvements on their last few seasons but not quite enough to make the playoffs.

1. Warriors
2. Thunder
3. Spurs
4. Clippers
5. Rockets
6. Pelicans
7. Grizzlies
8. Jazz

1. Cavs
2. Heat

4. Bulls
5. Bucks
6. Wizards
7. Celtics
8. Raptors

Haven't had a chance to catch many games yet but just signed up for league pass and have the rest of the week off..time to put my feet up and watch!

 

[Aragorn]

anyone want to have a guess when Philly will have their first win of the season?

they managed to string together 18 wins last season, and you would like to think with Nerlen and Okafor this year, could they could string a few more but with 0-7 so far its not looking good.

0-17 before their first win of the season, any takers for 0-18 which would be a franchise record. Best chance of a win will be against LA which is game 19 on 1st Dec.

 

[McLovin]

Okafor = eddy curry

I know he's a rookie but all I see is a Lopez, Curry high scoring low rebounding type centre in him . He gets his points but defence and rebounding need to be worked on massively. Only watched a few sixers games so only a small sample but if they decide to build around him they're going to be stuck as a treadmill team for years...

 

[Rod]

I don't think the Sixers are quite as bad as they were last year, they'll jag a win pretty soon.

I'm tipping they will jag a win on their upcoming road trip against either Charlotte, T'wolves or Boston. Failing a win on the road, the home game against the Lakers will be their best opportunity.

you have to wonder how this franchise survives bleeding $ away year after year in hope of striking the jackpot. By the time they have a team full of top #10 picks Nerlen & Okafor will have finished their rookie contracts and probably leave for a better place... Embid ends up being a bust and spends more time chasing Rihanna than improving his game.... jeeze how ironic would that be!

I think it's ridiculous. There's rebuilding and then there's this. Bordering on farcicial IMO.

 

[Johnnie Red]

So close Philly, 0-15!

Closing in on the worst start, only 4 games to hold the record.

Anyone know what the worst start to a season is? They must be getting close

Didn't the Net's or someone break the record a few years ago? 0-20 or something iirc

The Nets were 0-18 in 2009 according to that link I posted. It's impressive to be that bad!

Yeh you're not wrong there. I think their first win will be against either Boston tomorrow or LA next Wednesday. I predict Kobe to shoot the Lakers out of it. I wish they had Golden State in their upcoming schedule..would be interesting...

 

[Aragorn]

Philly 16-0.

I actually like their chances against Houston tomorrow, who are absolute garbage right now. Take out the trash Philly, otherwise your next opportunity is the lakers by which time you will be 18-0!

They tanked and traded two entire seasons for Okarfor, Noel & Embidd. Fat lot of good that's been so far.
