Facts

That’s why ABlackWeb is trash to me. Them niggas will talk about Nas or some old ass boom-bap shit all day but their sports section is dry as hell
There was a reason when folks left sohh the name they picked was thecoli. It was really the backbone of that site (and thecoli.com as well) when everything else was Nas vs jay/Kendrick vs drake and should pay on the first date bullshit.
 
This Forum looks the part. right as the pre season was getting started. The old hamster wheel gave out. I'm excited this year about My Knicks chances with a coach that can put a balanced offense.
 
League is on notice. Spurs official thread coming soon.

What are your final predictions when it comes to the Sixers ? I honestly don’t know where to put them in the standings because they seem unpredictable to me. I don’t know how they will come out this year. They could be an average/mid squad who makes the play-in. Or if they’re finally healthy for most of the schedule and have good team chemistry and execution, they might be a top 4 seed in the East this year. It will mostly depends on the health and performance of the older veterans like Joel Embiid and Paul George though. I expect young players like Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain to play well.

Or you think that they will have a lot of injuries and team chemistry and repeat their bad performances of last season instead

It really depends on how many games embiid plays. They have a lot of good guards and wings to put around him. PG just needs to stick to a role of volume 3pt shooting. Hes good at that and it will probably be easier on his body. If embiid plays 60 games I think they can be top 4. That's a big if though.
 
Predictions:

West
1. Okc
2. Denver
3. Houston
4. Lakers
5. Clippers
6. Warriors
7. Wolves
8. Grizzlies

I have no clue about the east. It's too hard to call. Is Boston still a playoff team? Will miami bounce back? Is Cleveland for real?

I think you may have the lakers too high. I dont see those pieces fitting at all especially defensively. Bron is in his 40s, reeves, Luka, and ayton? Seems like a disaster.

I feel sober Luka + pissed Bron is a good enough 1-2 punch. I'd ctually move everyone down and give spurs sixth seed.
