this a great thread but where is the honary @buckalis hes been around.
Eventually, Kostas will end up with the Bucks later in this or in the next season... (but I guess we all knew that in the first place)...
“Sixers, at least this year without Durant in the equation, are the big favorites in the East.
Horford is a monster pickup for them and a perfect guy to pair with Embiid--- leadership wise, everything.
No one saw that coming.
Plus their, what? 5th best player will now be Josh Richardson?
PG: Simmons
SG: Richardson
SF: Harris
PF: Horford
C: Embiid
that is a big, athletic and talented team”
What exactly is wrong with this comment?
Can we start with ‘big favorites in the East’, and go from there?
To be fair this is really the main thing wrong with the comment. The rest is pretty solid. But it's a doozy.
I don’t think Horford has blended in like many thought he would.
I will say, I agree that if everything somehow is clicking for Philly when the playoffs start, I wouldn’t want to play them.

The quote was before the season started. Clearly they aren't the favorites now.
Did you read the title of the thread?
Sure. Wiggy made some whoppers certainly.
My point is that his prediction still isn't ridiculous. 538 still has the Sixers as the favorites to get to the finals..
2019-20 NBA Predictions
The Sixers, and the Heat for that matter, are probably the two highest variance teams in the NBA, and certainly in the East. Either could lose in the first round, either could make the finals.
WrongHow can the Sixers make it to the finals if they'll end ranking 5th (or 4th), which seems to be the most possible scenario?
Perhaps their chances to make it to the ECF before they are blown by the Bucks are significantly better if they end up 6th.
In Vegas, Bucks are -200 to win East.
Philly, Toronto, Heat and Celtics are all between +550 to +700.
