Don't you mean 2013-14?

Anyway:

East

1. Heat
2. Pacers
3. Bulls
4. Knicks
5. Nets
6. Hawks
7. Cavaliers
8. Wizards

West

1. Clippers
2. Thunder
3. Spurs
4. Rockets
5. Grizzlies
6. Mavericks
7. Warriors
8. Nuggets

Finals:

Heat over Spurs in six

• MVP: Kevin Durant (if Westbrook struggles coming back); Chris Paul if Westbrook comes back in 4-6 weeks and is Westbrook
• 6th Man Award: Jarrett Jack
• Defensive Player of the Year: Larry Sanders
• Most Improved Player: Andre Drummond or Derrick Favors; I'll go Favors due to opportunity
• Coach of the Year: Frank Vogel
• Rookie of the Year: Cody Zeller

Who got Kyrie? I really want him.

So many guys got taken right before I was going to take them. Rough draft for me, but I think my team is pretty good. I just wanted more players to watch than anything since this isn't a money league.

Hold on, now. Wouldn't want someone to be making generalizations in this thread.

:p

$15-25 a week. I drive into the city three days a week for class. I work four minutes from my place. My car is pretty little, and I drive like a grandpa, so I don't use much gas.

@PSP107: I think Indiana is still a stronger team top-to-bottom. Chicago is going to miss Nate. They don't have anyone on the bench that can put up consistent points other than maybe Gibson. Pacers have Granger (who's out the rest of the preseason for what that's worth) and Scola. Even Copeland could help.

That is likely going to be a non-issue. That'd be very refreshing.

@No_Hablo_Ingles: I'm not questioning either of Houston's PGs although I hate Lin on defense and have seen enough airballs not to buy in that he can help space the floor. I just think each guy deserves minutes, and not having a clear-cut PG typically hurts a team in the playoffs. I'd never pick Houston to win a title unless one of these two guys is given a clear number-one role.

Cool. I'm in. Look forward to playing with you guys. Hope everyone stays relatively active all year.

Pretty huge week this week. Unfortunately it came by way of some knee injuries and a rule controversy.

Bring on Montee Ball. Do it. Do it.

@PSP107: The East is a little more clear cut I think.

1. Heat are still the Heat. Lost Mike Miller, got Oden and Beasley. Still will struggle against Hibbert if they play Indiana in the playoffs (and if Indiana actually feeds Hibbert).
2. Pacers were beaten by their bench last year. They added Scola, CJ Watson, and Chris Copeland. I think that's enough of a punch to help their second unit. Plus, if they delegate Granger to the first option on the second team and he returns even to 80% of Granger of old, that's a pretty scary match-up for anyone--including Miami--because Scola is very capable too.
3. Nets are obviously radically different in a good way. But who takes the last shot? Joe Johnson is money. Remember the Wade-LeBrong last-shot debacles the first year? Deron Williams had a strong second half of the season. He could be key if he wins the Chalmers/Cole match-up in a series. And who stops Lopez for Miami?
4. Bulls look really strong already. They really need to swap Deng for less of a distraction. Packaging Rose and Boozer to get a three and let Gibson play four would be ideal. Rose is on point already. Butler needs to make the jump. Don't think they have the depth for a run at the title though.
5. Knicks can only make a run if they're a top-four seed. I don't see it. Lots of pressure on Bargnani. Interesting to see how JR Smith responds to disappearing in playoffs.
6. Pistons are going to be really fun to watch. Drummond is the real deal. Jennings and Smith will have plenty of highlights this year. But they're not a serious contender.
7. Hawks got Millsap for a few nickels. Horford could benefit from Millsap's floor-spacing ability (compared to Josh Smith's lane-clogging ability). Probably the same playoff matchup for them: Indiana. That was the only series I couldn't stomach. Shouldn't be any different.
8. Take your pick. I guess the Wizards maybe. The Southeast is bad. Free wins from Orlando and Charlotte. Wall could explode this year, and they played well down the stretch last season. Beal is a good two, but I don't think the Porter pick contributes, so I don't think they're much different than last year.
