Pretty fair ranking.
Knicks are way too high, but the Top 5 are essentially correct.
Celtics +380
Bucks +400
Nuggets +420
Suns +600
Warriors +850
Lakers +1100I do love how the Celtics can have the best odds to win the finals for years in a row and only make the actual finals once and even then get manhandled by the warriors.
How do I short the Lakers’ chances?
Bet a little bit on everyone else?
Bet the under win total?
Damn books milking the Boston fans.
How can I short the Warriors
How could Warriors be ranked so high? Every contender got much stronger at least on paper, and we got CP3.
Clippers surprised me in preseason. They’re much more defensively polished than last season. I’d go much higher than #10 for them.
Heat not even top 10. These foos never learn.
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.
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.
Can’t wait for the warriors to win it all again.
This is not Dragonball Z
I double dog dare these talking heads to hop off the Clippers dick just one time for one of these rankings
It feels a little bit generous to the Knicks to have them 3rd in the East.
If the Lakers are the 5th best team this year, that means there are 26 bad teams.
Lakers?
Clippers at 10 is just bullshit and almost as ridiculous as Knicks at 7. They’ve done nothing in the past season and offseason to justify that ranking. Kawhi will play the bare minimum games and get ruled out for legitimate injuries. Their ranking never takes into account that their two best players are consistently missing games. Cavs, Kings and Heat are all better than them. Knicks too at least from recent history. Heck, I’d even put the Wolves ahead of them too if Edwards takes that next step to be a top 10 player.
