NOTE: I know everybody will be like 'THE WARRIORS WILL WIN', but I feel like the lack of bench talent and 1 or 2 major injuries will cost them. Just my opinion.

If the Clippers get to the NBA Finals but lose to the Cavs..
That would be sad for Chris Paul |

@Dark
Bulls won't be better than the Knicks If this were 2010, no.
Rockets won't be that high Possibly.
Jazz will make the playoffs I don't think so.
Celtics will be better than the Pacers Not a chance.
Heat might not make the playoffs Still a talented squad, so yes they will. |

"If this were 2010, no."
The Bulls have no floor spacing, Wade is getting older, Rondo isn't that great of a point guard anymore
"Possibly."
No they won't, they aren't good defensively
"I don't think so."
Yes they will, they are a rising team
"Not a chance."
Pacers are also not that good defensively since Teague and Ellis are both below average defenders
"Still a talented squad, so yes they will."
The talent is not that good to be a 5th seed |

"Rondo isn't that great of a point guard anymore"
but he had one of the best seasons of his career..? tied for career high in assists per game, had a nice shooting season, tied for 3rd in career high ppg.. also led the league in APG last year
also Wade is getting older yet he's still putting up good numbers, I don't really see him slowing down this year
as long as Rose doesn't get prison time for this case he's going through then I still think the Knicks will be better tho
also, saying the Celtics don't have a chance to be as good as the Pacers is kind of a stretch considering how talented the Celtics roster is @Vezzie

"but he had one of the best seasons of his career..? tied for career high in assists per game, had a nice shooting season, tied for 3rd in career high ppg.. also led the league in APG last year"
He didn't take a lot of threes that's why he had a high three point percentage and his free throw problems will hurt Chicago
"also Wade is getting older yet he's still putting up good numbers, I don't really see him slowing down this year"
This is a new season, he can easily slow down
"as long as Rose doesn't get prison time for this case he's going through then I still think the Knicks will be better tho"
I'm pretty sure he'd be suspended for a few games

"He didn't take a lot of threes that's why he had a high three point percentage and his free throw problems will hurt Chicago"
i wasn't talking about his 3point% but 62 for 170 is a good amount of threes and a nice percentage for that many 3's taken lol
and his free throw problems didn't hurt Boston much if at all when he played for them, but if 170 three attempts isn't a lot then 150 free throw attempts definitely isn't a lot, 2 free throws again isn't noticable unless it's a 1 point game, which even then can't be blamed on one person for missing free throws
"This is a new season, he can easily slow down"
that's what people say about a lot of people but they don't slow down, barring an injury I doubt Wade will slow down much if at all
"I'm pretty sure he'd be suspended for a few games"
yeah if he got proven guilty, which he probably won't for whatever reason

Yes because Boston had Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen
"that's what people say about a lot of people but they don't slow down, barring an injury I doubt Wade will slow down much if at all"
It could happen though, plus wade had injuries
"yeah if he got proven guilty, which he probably won't for whatever reason"
I really hope he doesn't though

The Knicks have a terrible bench besides Brandon Jennings and Joakim Noah isn't his old self. |

"Yes because Boston had Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen"
but he still isn't shooting a lot of free throws so his free throw issues most likely won't play a factor regardless of who he plays with
it's not like people hack-a-shaq him either

take that L out of LMAO and tie it to your neck if you think otherwise LOL
James Harden > Melo Eric Gordon > Lee Beverly and Derrick Rose aren't far off, similar PER and beverly is a better defender and shooter Nene > Joakim Noah Ryan Anderson and KP6 aren't far off also. Anderson is a better shooter and scorer and KP6 is just better blocking and rebounding
rockets bench >>>>> knicks bench
