I think the Jazz are this year’s Raptors.

They look very solid.

But their ceiling is not as high as the Clipper, Lakers or even the Sixers and Bucks.

If those teams fail to reach their full potential and/or have injury issues, Utah is good enough to raise the trophy.

A lot would have to go wrong with the other teams and a lot would have to go right for the Jazz.

Wouldn't be completely unheard of but it's highly unlikely IMO

So people lining up to mock, criticize and laugh at you means you're "doing something right"?

That's an interesting way to look at it, I guess.

Because I make a blatantly obvious statement about LeBron being a businessman first somehow means I'm being mocked and laughed at???

That's an interesting way to look at it, I guess.

My prediction percentages:

1. (As I stated before): Bucks vs. Jazz ...........60%
2. Bucks vs. Clippers....................................10%
3. Bucks vs. Nuggets....................................8%
4. Bucks vs. Rockets.....................................4%
5. Bucks vs. Blazers......................................2%
6. 76ers vs. Jazz...........................................8%
7. 76ers vs. Clippers.....................................10%
8. 76ers vs. Clippers.....................................2%

All the rest of combinations to happen (some 10 combinations adding below 1% chance each and lower than 4% if all added...) add up to lower than 4% altogether, if added...

All this taking in mind that all contending teams, will end up much better before the trade deadline and will even be adding waived (by their current team) veterans, after mid season...

You think, that's the problem

So you are telling me you actually "think" the Jazz will be the raptors next year? lol

Did you read my whole post?

The Raptors were very good.

But they only won because other, better teams like the Warriors faltered.

I don’t think the Jazz will win the championship. But if the more talented teams falter, they could be the best of what is left. You know, like the Raptors last year.

You should try thinking next time before you reply.

Another prediction for the season.

Lakers start 0-2 (vs Clippers and Jazz)

Followed by 8 straight wins (Hornets, Grizzlies, Mavs, Spurs, Bulls, Heat, Raptors, Suns)

I could see it.

Coach Bud took anybody by surprise with the starting line up he choose to start the first preseason game against the Bulls...

PG: Frank Mason (2-way contract), SG: Sterling Brown, SF: Wes Mathews PF: Brook Lopez, CF:Robin Lopez

There will be no Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, Ilyasova or (injured) D.J. Wilson playing tonight!!!

Clearly coach Bud is taking advantage of the Bucks tremendous roster depth, in order to evaluate on how to rank of the rest of the players within the Bucks roster.

Bucks still have the lead by 63-60 for the first half, despite only playing their deep roster players...

Good luck for any team in beating the Bucks this season.

Forgot to say in my previous post that George Hill & Kyle Korver weren't used either... Even the Lopez twins were both benched during the 2nd half!

Clearly coach Bud has selected the starting roster and major rotation players on Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, Brook Lopez, Hill, Ilyasova, Robin Lopez and was trying to evaluate the rest of the roster (but injured Wilson) on how to supplement the guards and the wings depth.

Interesting that the Bucks "trio of youth" for last season on Divincenzo, Brown and Connaughton, all showed significant improvement on their game, but were all given ball-handling minutes other than their (usual for previous season) off the ball role.

In a word, the Bucks looked absolutely scary by comfortably winning the game with a 10pts points differential (122-112) despite mostly playing their deep bench, their 2-way contracts and their exhibit-10 contracts.

Most impressive, that after Dragan Bender was fouled out with 5mins remaining on the clock and with the difference having being dropped to only 4pts, the Bucks finished the game by playing their two 2-way contracts (Mason and Reynolds), two out of their exhibit-10 contracts (Tucker and Maye) and Thanasis Antetokounmpo!
Yet, that line-up increased the difference to 12 pts before the game ended with a 10-point win for the Bucks.

Overall, the Bucks made it clear that they will be the favorites to win the championship this season and have the depth and talented youth to continuously contented for many seasons that will follow after this!

Not scary at all.

Both teams were trying to evaluate young players.

Literally neither team cared who won that game because it was preseason. Nothing less relevant in all of sports than an NBA preseason outcome.
