28 - we could see a 36-46 team make the playoffs in the east, continuing the decade-long run of dominance of the western conference. (on average, not cream of the crop)(why is this?)
30 - washington’s (and #1 pick) John Wall is amazing. a cat on the court, up to things. a la pippen, ben wallace, even bird, rondo. amazing “in the flow” defender, quick. also, “there’s something cool about John Wall” whatever that means. kind of like iverson.
and you live in the chocolate city; have you seen an athlete resonate with the people as much as wall?
37 - knicks fans will latch onto this team. amare loves the spotlight.
38 - carmelo is going to be on the knicks. he’s cock-blocking trades to any other team. he’s married to Lala, who wants the spotlight.
45 - what happened to #2 pick Evan “plays 5 positions” Turner? looking to be a bust at this point. personality thing too.
46 - Blake Griffin is a beast. the way he plays is beastly. “already top-25 player” - bs
54 - Charlotte was 31-10 at home last year.

330 - Nash over 50 wins for the last 10 years (save one, 48). “professional basketball players” count on Suns is robust
20 - Dallas has gotten to 50 wins for 11 years, wow
25 - “i don’t know how [Gordon Hayward] is going to go over with Utah fans” lol
30 - how the hell did Portland win 50 games last season, a franchise in turmoil. Portland fans = soccer moms (mentioned multiple, multiple times.)
34 - OKC for 60 wins, Durant MVP and scoring title (wow) lol moment of silence for the city of seattle
40 - the one thing Orlando does like it’s their job is beat up on bad teams. and those wins ad up.
