wow, i definitely don't think Miami is going to be that bad. especially if Bosh is playing.
only way i think that happens is if they start off slow and Riley tells them to tank the season for a pick, but i'm not even sure they have any picks.

I was thinking that as well but Bosh being the big question mark might be driving that number. It's pretty low though.

2 things that have me excited about this season.
1. KD getting switched on to Russ on a pick and roll and Westbrook gets that crazy look and dunks on him so hard it rips KDs arm off.
2. Of all the stupid shit Gar/Pax have done in Chicago assembling the worst 3 point shooting back court possibly ever when the rest of the league has learned it is by far the most efficient shot may just be dumb enough to get them fired...... finally.

I could be totally off here, but I think the concept that the Bulls are going for is a drive and kick offense where Mirotic and McDermott extend out, opening up the lane some, allowing Wade, Rondo and Butler to slash and kick. While the backcourt may not hit the shots, they do have shooters than can.

For anyone else who was curious, I'll save you a Google search: there are 82 games in an NBA season

It's possible but I am not sure how much those two play together and Wade, Rondo, and JB are so ball dominant. It's just hard to see it working out. JB is also the biggest primadonna that nobody outside of Chicago realizes yet. I like the pickup of Valentine and Portia has some upside. I justness hate this team already and I miss Joakim.

I think that's the real issue... a lot of players that seemingly need the ball in their hands at a high rate to produce.

The Nuggets will win more than 34 games. They have a talented young roster. But until their young talented players prove they can play consistent ball, the win total is not an unexpected line.
Mike Malone is also a very good coach. He coached Sacramento to one of their better seasons. He got the best out of Cousins his first year there. Next year, the team starts slow, lots of injuries and he gets fired. The Nuggets swooped him up the following season.
Take the over and get rich.

Going to mash up a few threads... could be NBA, could be 2k, could be Random... either way, enjoy.
This is what happens when you merge all player faces together for each team...

It sounds like Chris Bosh's career with the Heat is over. Riley mentioned that they aren't working towards another comeback.

Has that Heat 36.5 total moved since the Bosh news?
